Am I missing something??
Would a Raspberry pi kit, 2 joypads and an HDMI cable not be cheaper and give you a hell of a lot more emulation possibilities??
About £60 all in and you can even get a case that looks like a NES for £15. These things make no sense to me.

This. And it helps that the SNES Mini will probably never be worth less than what you bought it for should you get bored of itMissed the boat last night and didn't manage to get a pre-order via any website as they were all sold out.
Did manage to bag a pre-order in the local Game store this morning though so if anyones still after one its worth a try.
I gather that Nintendo will be making significantly more mini SNES's though so id expect more pre-orders to be available at some point.

you can put software on your PC and download any game for free. all you need is a controller
so you can get the same setup for probably a tenner. just incase anyone didn't know.
this one would be good for convenience though but a bit steep in price.
it's nothing new. I was downloading the roms/emulators back in the late 90s with many of us playing the likes of street fighter or DBZ etc on the library computers during playtime or lunch. some people still like to do it legit and support the industry.so you can get the same setup for probably a tenner. just incase anyone didn't know.
