Spring? What’s that? Already feels like mid-July in the Ohio Valley (it’s only May). That cancerous ball of radiation is already making its presence felt as a sweltering string of 90° days have blistered the area. Anyone hoping for a nice, mild spring with temps in the 60s and 70s got laughed out of the conversation weeks ago. Sad thing is, summer is technically still over a month away at the time of this publication. Sigh.
Mother Nature isn’t the only one looking ahead. She brought summer early. Good for her. All the more reason to get the Countdown to the Autumnal Equinox started now rather than later. Fret not, cool-weather friends. Good times are ahead; for you, for me, and especially this guy…

First look at the return of Shelly! Larry Zerner reprises the role that made him a staple of the slasher genre in Friday the 13th Part 3. Providing the voice for the video game incarnation, Shelly has come back to life for fans of the franchise to enjoy (and hack to death)!
Up for grabs is the super rare and highly sought-after Hi-Def NES by Kevtris.
This NES top-loader, fully pre-modded with the Hi-Def kit by Jason Rauch of game-tech.us, comes with a power cord and pre-cut HDMI cable (pictured above). Play all your favorite NES games in beautiful native 1080p resolution, complete with customizable firmware with a plethora of audio/video options to suit your specific taste. Console is in terrific condition.
This is my personal unit, as seen in this unboxing/review:
One of the best reviews of the kit yet! He didn’t show off the menu or options, but very enjoyable to watch! https://t.co/2fd6WwLsHx
The Hi-Def NES kit adds MANY features, this is not a complete list:
Fully digital video generated with zero lag — no frame buffer.
3 output resolutions: 480p, 720p, or 1080p.
HQX 2,3,and4 scaling filters, simple 2x and 3x scaling, and an x-ray mode.
Multiple selectable color palettes and a black and white option.
Adjustable horizontal stretch for different aspect ratios.
Adjustable top, bottom, left, and right edge cropping.
Adjustable horizontal position.
Fully digital generated audio including all expansion audio chips, no ADC.
Adjustable Stereo panning and volume level for each audio source.
Audio register viewer.
Multiple scanline options.
Menu access via controller (select + left).
Hotkeys for long and short resets.
Hotkeys for overclocking with audio pitch fix option.
User definable hot key combinations for each option.
Console is fully powered by the Hi-Def NES kit with a cleaner more efficient supply circuit, still works with original ac adapter and similar universal supplies.
Future firmware updates can be done by owner with a flashcart.
Not to be confused with the NES Classic. This is much better, quite frankly, and isn’t limited to 30 games.
