What's your opinion on the retro mini console fad that happened like 2 years ago?

It died too soon before we could get an N64 mini. It was the one retro console I was looking forward to since N64 emulation is relatively shit, and Nintendo could have provided a better quality official emulator.

Stupid. All of them are terrible

great way to get authentic USB controllers for use with PC emulators

Clearly haven't played the Genesis one.

the genesis one is mediocre though. the emulation is worse than Kega Fusion.

They were pointless.

I bought the SNES mini and put maybe 2 hours of playtime on it the whole time I've owned it.

This, If only companies were willing to sell more qualiity controllers, instead of the cheap one made by third parties

>not just slapping an emulator on a small form factor PC and hooking it up to your TV

It died?

But Sega just released the Game Gear Mini in Japan that nobody liked.

And Nintendo never made a Game Boy Mini (or even have Game Boy games on Switch Online).

Bought the nes, snes and PlayStation for cheap during clearance
Just buy the snes, mod the nes romset in, and buy the PlayStation only at 70% off, because it's garbage

True

Got overblown way too fast. It's actually a good thing that Sony ended up killing it among those many things vidya related stuff Sony has already killed.

I liked it as a collector, but as systems for gaming they weren't worth the money.

>NES/SNES
These are solid, but overpriced

>Genesis
The emulation in this thing is shit

>PS1
Lmao. PAL versions of games for no reason, requires hacking to even be worth a shit. Way overpriced. Game lineup has huge gaps.

>NeoGeo
Kinda neat, but the controllers that go with it are crap, and trying to play on the tiny arcade machine is hell

>Turbografix
Who asked for this?

I have the NES one, its pretty cool

Not worth having an opinion on

It wasn't a fad, the only successful ones were the Nintendo ones.

>Turbografix
>Who asked for this?
Konami

It was funny to see the scalpers get BTFO. Other than that, meh.

Dumb shit born from pop nerd culture's obsession with wasting money on useless collectibles.

i pood ma pands :)

Nintendo would just copy the emulator

where is the xbox mini?
make it the size of a "normal console" as a joke
xbox emulator when

dumbass shit. the same people who bought into this crap will tell you emulation is "soulless" or whatever

What other ones are there?
Atari mini
C64 mini
PC Engine mini
Game Gear mini

the only decent ones are nes and especially snes since it has the official release of star fox 2.
Ps1 was the worst simply for how half assed it was, but if you can get it for 10-20 bucks and mod it it's a good emulation box

*would copy Wii's 64 emulator.

SNES mini is excellent when hacked. Got mine for $70 "refurbished" straight from nintendo, might as well have been new.

Shit. Every console before 2006 is perfectly emulatable besides OG Xbox and N64 anyways. Why bother?

never caved in for one of these
