So far none of these mini-consoles have piqued my buying dollar. Sure, they're cute, and I can understand for the right demographic these are a good buy. If you enjoy owning nostalgic toys and prefer official emulation over unofficial, or just as an impulse buy for a reminiscent gamer who isn't very tech savvy on their own.
That said, if a truly good Saturn mini-console released, that had proper emulation, and a good number of the very best Saturn titles... yeah, I'd buy that sucker. To this day, unofficial Saturn emulation is still not where I want it to be. It's "OK" for playing games (with occasional glitches) but hardly perfecto.

Yeah there's definitely a market for these things.
I know plenty of people my age who "owned a Genesis (or whatever) as a kid" but then eventually abandoned it. These new clones scratch that nostalgia itch quite well. Lotta normies buying these things. It's so much easier than buying an authentic console + carts. My cousin's husband has a PS4, Xbox One... and a Nintendo Classic. But no other hardware.

Yeah, way too pricey. Strong lineup though... needs more Cadillac & Dinosaurs! Maybe that one is a licensing nightmare now haha.

I'm surprised they got Alien vs. Predator on there, honestly.

There's something about the Capcom logo that has always bugged me:
The C on the COM side is filled in with blue, but the C on the CAP side isn't. It should either be filled in like the rest of the letters, or the rest of the letters should be hollowed out like it.

Me neither. Don't ruin my childhood!
It's hysterical that thing is a Capcom logo though. WTF.

I wish they'd make a mini-system for those consoles that didn't sell very well, like Sega Saturn and Turbo Grafx 16 (especially the CD). The ironic thing is I don't think that will happen since those sold too poorly in the first place, so not enough people are nostalgic about them today to want to buy a remake in large numbers. YES.
