I understand it's two pieces. $10 is still half the cost of the item, which is neither large nor heavy. Therefore it's still expensive.

Then don't buy it.

Why on earth are people complaining about the price of shipping? You're basically getting a permanent fix to a prevalent problem for $30. If anyone else had created this thing, you'd have to send your NES in to them and pay nonsense amounts.

This will be the first kickstarter I actually back. This looks awesome, can't wait to try it out!

I think you should add the MVS Cart Shell replacements as stretch goals.

I posted this in a local FB group and can't believe the negative comments I got like "oh just buy a retron" "nobody wants to spend that much to fix an old NES" or "just disable the lockout and put in a new 72 pin conector" yet all those options are shit and people just dont get it. This looks like the best thing to happen for NES along with the new RGB mod options and can't wait to use one.
There's a local gaming group that takes NESs to bars and hopefully we can upgrade all their gear eventually cause it's annoying as shit seeing people blow in their games and clean them over and over with rubbing alcohol and still never get them to work.

This is an amazing project. I loved your cheesy little kickstarter video. For sure spreading this around!

This is gonna get funded easily. It's a great idea and product.

Is there any way to make it double load NES and FAMI games, like two connectors that run parallel or not enough space?

Oh what the hell. It's so damn close to the goal. I'm in for that $100 gold one, sight unseen.

Two of three goldy owners right here! You made the right choice :D I do believe you pushed it over the brink!

Congrats on getting it funded, Quan!

Hahaha. Elite club right? I get the feeling he won't have to make many the way it's going so far.

Just something I whipped up in MS Paint in five minutes. Congrats on getting the funding Quan! Can't wait to swap out my shitty replacement connector with the BLW!

Super cool that Rudy J. Ferretti took time out of his busy schedule of being the best NES player to be a giant douche on the internet.
