  They don't want to sell games, they want to sell subscriptions

  It terrifies me that 2016/17 is now considered ‘back in the day’

  Companies don’t want people that BOUGHT a game, they want people that are BUYING subscriptions to games.

  Nintendo figured out that selling people mini consoles doesnt push them towards their subscription eco system.

  My hacked SNES Mini is still my go-to device for many games.

  I would much rather own these than terrible subscription services where you don’t own your games.

  I got one for my mum for Christmas. Something simple she could just plug in and play the old games she liked. She plays it over the holiday season every year haha

  The librarian at the elementary school I work at has a SNES mini hooked up for the kids to use during reward days....it always draws a crowd!

  I use the mini consoles when we have big parties at my house and I want systems anybody can walk up, grab a controller and play a classic game easily. They are total hits at these parties. 👍

  I got the SNES MINI, Playstation Minis and Genesis mini. I love them, havent used them in some time but they are a fun collectible and a good way to get the feel of having the hardware in hand of console that were current gen before i was born. Im glad i got to add them to my collection
