I was going to get a NES Classic and SNES, but then realized I'm not a dumbass. Get an emulator and stop buying into Nintendo's grab for more money.

Yeah I did that whole emulator thing but its not the same experience. You don't play these games on the computer without it looking like shit. The SNES Classic is portable for travel and its HDMI quality shit. 80 bucks is a bargain just don't feel like paying 200 bucks to some fat slob who ran a bot program to snag preorders.

dunno man, I have an emulator and it plays at equal or even better quality than the Nintendo launches. From a business standpoint Nintendo is genius. They know the demand and they purposely short the supply to keep people wanting more, thus creating more hype around their product.
The main problem with these are that they are essentially going after peoples wallets through nostalgia. I'm guessing a majority of people are buying them for that reason and not to put hours upon hours of gameplay. Because ultimately I think they know they couldn't compete with bigger games on current platforms.
To each their own though!

Complete waste of money. Do what Mizz said (which I believe he got the initial idea from me) and buy a Raspberry Pi 3 and a controller, download the necessary software and roms, and comfortably play every NES/SNES/Genesis/Neo Geo/Arcade/etc. game all in one. It has more juice than the chips used for the NES/SNES classic (they use the exact same chip). It can play up to virtually any PS1 game, a lot of Dreamcast games, and some N64 games (N64 runs rough generally on a Pi).

Or spend the same amount of money for the same exact thing already built

It would be cheaper to build one like mizz and ace said and you would have the option to play games across multiple platforms

Snes classic - 21 games, nes classic - 30 games, retropie startup kit - all games you want from old Atari, old Macs, old arcade games like the Simpson's up to ps 1, n64, dreamcast etc. The startup kit comes with everything including a small box that the retropie sits in. You just download the games you want to play onto the retropie.
