If in a month a more backaards compatible x360 was released, would you expect microsoft offer refunds to all those that already owned one? do you think they would pull all the x360s on retail shelves and in the warehouses out of their boxes and fix them? Further more, would you expect microsoft to even tell anyone about this imporvement until they sold all their less desirable units?

So after that thought, do you expect a 2 person company to do that? how would they finance it?

The point is, the NEX is a fine clone as is, but they intend to make it better. There are no fatal flaws like the PS2 had with faulty tray motors etc which warrants a return and replacement program.

Again, i too am disappointed that the NEX didn't turn out as great as it was hyped up to be, but oh well. If people aren't satisfied, they have the option to return the product. No one said, you bought it so 'too bad' you can't take it back. I bought one, and decided I wanted to wait for version 2. and anyone else that owns one or ordered one had/has the opportunity to do the same.

This was attempt number one for messiah. good show I'd say. I don't think that we have read the final chapter in the history of the NEX just yet.

I never kenw about Messiah's interest in dreamcast and saturn controllers, however its probably going to be a wihle before we see them, since the genny 2600 and advantage controllers are next on the list and there is no set date for them. (E3 2206 maybe????) either way I cant wait for the advantage and genny controllers, and saturn and dreamcast controllers would be amazing too!

like i said before, it would be a shame for messiah to go down cuz of the NEX 'problems'. They have so many other desireable products in the works that it seems no one is going to make, and I'd be seriously disappointed if these products never made it to us, the gamers

Want Wireless Dreamcast and Saturn Controllers?

Their main aim is the music problems, the video shift, and they hope to be able to fix the graphical errors in the majority of the games.

Messiah has also updated their website to clarify that the NEX isn't 100% compatible. (and don't forget the campatibility list) What other company would even bother to do this? Messiah screwed up, but they aren't the slime everyone is making them out to be.

I like messiah as a company, and hope they can resolve the issues with the NEX. Messiah does make good products (in whole). With the exception to the NEX, Messiahs products have no current competitors. I'd hate to see any decent company that is dedicated to making unique classic gaming products just fade and die. Companies like this are few and far between, and I hope messiah sticks around.

I would really like to see this system succeed, so I'm crossing my fingers. You can't expect full compatibility, but for 60 bucks we should expect a system that is AT LEAST as good as its $40 competitors. I plan on picking a new version when it comes out.

Keep in mind that the concept and design of the system was conceived by two videogamers (the owners and only employees of Messiah), but the internals were not designed by them. They were outsourced. It was a poor call to release it without themselves recieving one and fully testing it first, and make it seem like "the clone to end all nes clones", but oh, well. Lesson learned.

They didn't intend to screw everyone. The way I see it, it was an unintentional suicide. Because of a few problems on their first try in making a clone, they get labelled slimey andas a crappy company. Keep in mind, the problems that the NEX has are problems that are common in many of its competitors who are third and fourth generation attempts.

Aside form all the negatives that I hear about it, it seems like a decent clone and a good first effort. Hopefully the major problems will be fixed for the next iteration. I'm not expecting full compatibility, but I do expect the music and video problems will be fixed, and for it to be as good as my buddy's Yobo.

I don't think that messiah is just going to let this thing go either. I think they are going to improve the product to meet ther expectations and uphold the reputation they had before all this crap started.
