Looks cool with 4k upscaling support. We’ll have to see about price, since we have the Mister and the upcoming Mars to compare it to.

    We’ll see how Mars compares when that is released. The UI looks a lot more polished compared to the Mister.

    I will argue most people buying these consoles will eventually want to play more than just original carts, which means more setup either via a jailbreak or everdrive. I’d say both of those are not any more difficult to set up than a prebuilt Mister.

      I would probably argue the opposite. most people who buy an analogue device will use it s few times to relive some childhood memories than it’ll sit on a shelf for a long time

      For people that get engaged and want to do more, mister or a pocket with open fpga is a good next step. But most people just want to play the three nintendo games they loved

        I’d argue that type of person would see the price of an analogue system, then proceed to go on eBay for an N64 and a cheap composite adapter.

          Yup a lot do, or more realisticly just don’t. But there are those that have the money for an analogue system (or a mister, they ain’t cheap!) Hence why they sell
