A quick search tells me that the highest it was ever priced in the history of amazon was $31.83 on Jan 19 2009. Source: camelcamelcamel.com/Sonic-Ultimate-Genesis-Collection-Playstation-3/product/B001G33V8S |

You need a PS3 and a PS3 controller for that. The last home gaming console I bought was a GameCube, but I'm planning on buying this, because it has everything I need to play all these games by itself. Whether it's overpriced or not is a matter of opinion; I personally think $60 for a single PS4 game is highway robbery, but I know that a lot of people get their money's worth out of those, so to each their own. Sure, I probably could get all these games and an emulator in less than a minute, but I'm not going to for the same reason that I bought all the Touhou games on CD instead of just downloading them. When I buy this, I know that I'm giving money to the company that was responsible for these games in the first place, and that's worth it for me. |

OK,I was hoping for for more games to be added but in that case I guess they would have said that a long with everything else. Still interested though |

Why Super C instead of the original? That seems like a really odd choice.

Plus you can use actual controllers with this that aren't bootlegs.
I hope you're not talking about the one made by At games which not only is a bootleg system but apparently has the same audio problems that it's handheld counterpart had and is essentially a plastic device, with an emulator and two controllers.

Personal worth and marketplace value are two different things. I'm sure people that buy $100 6 episode blu-ray's from aniplex recognize that it is inherently less of a value than buying a full series at $30 from funimation, but the personal worth of the series to them justifies it, and that's fine. However it doesn't change the fact that they are objectively less of a value in comparison.
That's literally what the NES mini is, except it only has one controller. It's a system on a chip housed in a plastic box just like every other one of these systems floating around. I'm sure it will be of higher quality, but not enough to justify that price gap for the amount less you are getting. Edit: Also, you know that atgames system is officially licensed by Sega, right? |

Where's "Duck Hunt"?
Also, can we expect to see the same thing with old Sega games like "Sonic the Hedgehog"? I wanna re-live my childhood with all of them. |

Duck Hunt is a weird game to try to authentically emulate due to the fact that it relied on consumers owning TVs that were compatible with light guns (which back then were basically all TVs). If you want to give people the authentic Duck Hunt experience, you'd need to design something to receive the gun's input, or implement some kind of alternative system for capturing input. In they end, they must have decided that putting in that much effort to make a single game work simply wasn't worth it.
There's a device called the "Sega Genesis Deluxe Classic Game Console", but from what I've heard it has some noticeable sound, graphics, and controller issues. On the plus side, it has 40 Genesis games pre-loaded and can accommodate original Genesis cartridges. |

60 dollars for a mini nes, a controller, & 30 built in games is pretty good deal.
That might explain the sub-par quality of the devices made by At Games. As Sega has gotten something of a reputation for lowering their standards apparently that rubbed off on AT Games. |

Well I'm certainly interested in getting this NES mini system especially since the earliest game console that I ever owned was a PS1.

This is an overpriced plastic shell that is designed to immediately become obsolete, and that's just stupid as hell. They could have sold a bunch of extra expansion packs later on with more games.

A little out of sequence, but relive away: https://www.amazon.com/Sonic-Ultimate-Genesis-Collection-Playstation-3/dp/B001G33V8S/ Whatever price they are now or started at, it still adds up to the same basic issue--The games that once came on those plastic 8-bit NES cartridges were one 1 MB at best, and even the 16-bit games that came on SNES could fit on a respectable Wii or PS3 disk, let alone PS4, without having to buy extra physical tsotchkes for the sake of visual symbolism. Of course, Sega isn't in the hardware business anymore, so they can afford to put their games in the disk/ether where all games are now. Nintendo would rather enforce brand loyalty. |

Which won't include Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Battletoads, or Ducktales. |

I don't get the whole "it's obsolete if it isn't designed to have expansions" thing that seems to pop up around one-and-done gaming products. It's something that happens all the time in the tabletop game community, too: any board game or collectible card game that doesn't have a future expansion in development is considered a "dead" game. I wonder if there's something about gaming as a medium that fosters this mentality; after all, we don't go around calling Cowboy Bebop and Fullmetal Alchemist "obsolete". |
