Resell value.
Nostalgia.
Fanboyism.
Starfox 2.
Official controllers.
The fact it's plug n'play.
No time wasted choosing and downloading the roms.
The fact it will be modded.
The fact it's Nintendo.

>>382116442
I don't know.
Honestly I can't imagine the people that would pick up the NES mini or anything of the sort to be the people to play them, at least for not long, most people that still truly give a shit about older games like that have allready have emulated systems of their liking set up.

>>382116442
why would anyone go through the effort for 90s nostalgia vision when you can do the same on your phone, chomecast or HDML link to tv at 1080 and play with pad via bluetooth?

and before you say CRT looks good, I remember the 90s.

>>382116940
are the controller plugs the same as the NES mini last year?

>>382116442
I don't like emulators

>you can do the same on your phone
but that won't be the original feeling of playing SNES, it would be boring to do that

>>382117212
it will look worse because of the upscaling

>>382117524
So CRT was literally the only reason SNES games were fun? Sure says a lot

>>382117524
>original feeling
only autists can tell the difference between a snes and an emulator. if you were saying ff6 ps1 port you'd have a point.

>>382117641
then render at 512x448 with no filters you tool.

>>382116442
It's convenience. I wouldn't buy a SNES mini, but some people want a thing that just werks.

>>382117524

I will never get the original feeling of SNES because I'm not 8 years old and all my old friends are gone.

>>382116442
What products do I need to buy for that setup?

>>382118356
an old tv and a modded wii

>>382116442
Brand loyalty.

>>382116442
Because pirating is wrong.
And I am god.

>>382118504
:|
that's probably just about 80 dollars

It's cheap enough to literally not matter. You can buy it for the form factor alone and be justified.

>>382118972
I'd rather save up and get a switch

>>382116442
Local multiplayer

>>382119032
It's three times as much, and its not even the same thing. This is more of a novelty than anything.

>>382119192
I can do that emulating on the Wii with two controllers easily, played with my brother yesterday

>>382116442
Switch must be doing pretty bad for Nintendo to shamelessly shill nostalgia at these prices

>>382119410
prety sure a wii is more expensive than the snes mini

>>382117212
>I remember a cheap TV with RF video

>>382117249
I don't know about the NES mini but it uses the same connector, and the controller ports on the console are a fake hatch that opens

>>382117212
Holy shit, you people are actually stupid as fuck

>why not just ________

Why not just buy a bike and bike to work instead of spending all that money on a decent car?? LEL

I've already accepted the fact that I won't be allowed by Nintendo to purchase one.

I've also already accepted the fact Nintendo thinks a switch is worth 500 dollars.

I think I might just kill myself instead (no Nintendo shit isnt the only reason if you fucks assumes so). I feel like Nintendo shit should be EASY to get. Fucking 100 dollar kids toys should not be in such high demand.

Nintendo is more anti consumer than Microsoft at this point. That's insane.

Hipsters.

Look they don't make this thing for real gamers who want to play FF6 or Chronotrigger again you know?

>>382116442
Why would you cook yourself a steak dinner when you could just get a burger from Wendy's and eat it like fuckin Fat Joey??

Dumbest argument.

>>382116442
Can't even do SFX games at an acceptable framerate lmao

>>382117524
I care about the game itself but to each their own

Actually in my country people are buying ebikes to commute to work Amerifat.

>>382120964
Isn't the mini SNES just a piece of shit plastic with a raspberry in it with a few games? I'm sure it will be hacked soon enough though.

>just build a raspberry pi

It will look like a jerry rigged piece of shit unless you pay someone to make a case for you or you happen to spend the time to make one yourself (also costing money).

I don't want to spend a bit less money for something that will look like shit and run with glitches every now and then.

>>382121432
Because people in your country live 5 minutes from everything in the city because your forefathers were able to maintain a territory only the fraction the size of other the US m8.

Lots of people need to drive to get to work.

Anyways my original argument was that they both work for different people but assuming one should work for all is stupid.

>>382122372
>>382122372
oh, so like the snesmini? It's an emulator. They aren't doing anything special. Taking already dumped roms, and packaging them with a Pi incased in a shitty looking small snes case.

>>382122579
>like the snes mini?
lel

>>382122657
thanks for the You. This makes 25 today alone!

>Resell value.
if you're planning to sell it down the line later then it's a poor investment, if you're planning to scalp it then it doesn't matter if you play it
>Nostalgia
a little piece of tiny modded plastic won't let you feel like you're 10 again
>Fanboyism.
fanboyism is never good
>Starfox 2
wait until the ROM gets dumped
>Official controllers
the NES mini controllers never felt quite "right" anyway, just get a Buffalo controller
>The fact it's plug n'play
sure you can skip a few steps but when my Wii was modded it was easy to access
>No time wasted choosing and downloading the roms
unless you are a normie with no experience in emulation you already have a collection, besides, absolutely everything will fit on 4GB easy
>The fact it will be modded.
...and?
>The fact it's Nintendo.
...and?

>>382116442
Personally, I just want to give Nintendo money because I know it pisses you off.

>>382122909
upboated

>>382123152
Personally, I just give your wife dick on the regular because I know it pisses you off.

Emulating is just not that fun to me after I did a bunch of gameboy and ps1 games. It just felt janky I didn't enjoy it as much as the real things

>>382119593
Pretty sure you can get a used Wii for like $60

>>382119593
I honestly doubt that

>>382123517
You can get a wii off ebay for about $20.

>Go out of your way to get a high quality CRT to accurately render the lines as intended
>Emulate the console
This is the fucking dumbest thing I've ever fucking seen.

That's like buying a pair of high end tower speakers with an incredible tube amp and then playing nothing but mp3s downloaded from Kazaa on it.

To have a limited edition piece of history.

Whys this difficult for you to understand? The games and actually playing the thing is secondary to actually owning one.

>not using hyperspin with full video and box/cart setup

It's like you don't even care

OP asked "why buying it". Not "why playing it".
>a little piece of tiny modded plastic won't let you feel
Yes it will, nostalgia doesn't care about logic
>fanboyism is never good
Except to get sales
>wait until the ROM gets dumped
Or play it on "day one"
>the NES mini controllers never felt quite "right" anyway
Good thing we're talking about SNES controllers
>sure you can skip a few steps but when my Wii was modded
No plug n'play then
>unless you are a normie with no experience in emulation you already have a collection
Yeah, across 6 PCs that I owned in the last 15 years
>absolutely everything will fit on 4GB easy
Having 700 mostly bad games is worse than having 30 good games
Even if the 30 good games are included in the 700 package. Nobody wants to waste time on a huge, mostly mediocre, 26 years old library
>...and?
Look at SNES mini.
>...and?
Collector value.
