Hmmmm...they should have included a lot more games. Emus and roms have been ready available for more than 10 years now.

Such a good idea and an instant cop on the strength of both zelda games and all three super mario games. This is a first day get for me

$2 a game isn't bad at all especially since it comes with hardware.
People that aren't using ROMS for whatever reason could really enjoy this.
I'm looking at this like a dope stocking stuffer for christmas

Every game on that list is dope. People are going to complain about games they left out but that list is strong.

 

[MeachTheMonster]

Would be cool if emulators didn't exist

 

[MartyMcFly]

Also, the games come with suspense points

 

[MartyMcFly]

I need a SNES version of this

 

[Kingshango]

Imma buy one for my lil cousin, put him on Ninja Gaiden.

Spoiler

No doubt.
But it's a smart move and there's definitely a market for it.
Any gamer who has spent enough time on google has been using emulators for years for these old school games, but for people that aren't really on computers like that this is going to appeal to them a lot and its at a pretty good price too.
I'm assuming this thing is going to have some good hack potential too.

Yeah or people like me who don't like playing games on their computer shyt has never been my thing, i prefer consoles. And the used game market is still a big market so its not like there's no audience who wants to play old games. There's a place near me called eStarland and while they do sell new games, most of their warehouse is filled with older stuff from every single game generation you could think of. Like every. single. one. Even Atari Lynx and virtual boy

 

[Fatboi1]

That's cool.
