Oh yippie, another clone console. We’re like two decades+ into these things and somehow people still get excited.
I wanted to get the NES or SNES one for my kid since I don’t want him grow up thinking this phone crap is what a game is. Sadly hoarding gouging and flipping are far more of an American pastime than playing games so this has been impossible since they things hit the market over a year ago.
I can't say as I was doing the antler dance about this - I did find it refreshing that one of these things actually had enough top notch games on it to make it worth my considering purchasing. I am not waiting with baited breath or anything.
Unlike Nintendo, AtGames doesn't seem to be limiting their production numbers (hence the price inflation on the two Nintendo units) - in fact what initially got me interested was a large display of the two earlier versions for sale at Office Depot (of all places) that I saw yesterday - while seeing what was with them on the internet I found the info (by no means new) on the HD one. I doubt the HD version is going to be less plentiful.
