I got one in 2013, but that version was way worse than the one mentioned in the video. The audio was worse and there was an awful puke green filter over everything. It had pretty bad input delay too and sometimes would drop inputs, even when I was next to the console and the IR sensor was right in front of the console. I’m not sure if I am alone on this issue, but my 2nd player controller would constantly randomly turn on and press random inputs. It was pretty much impossible to play anything because it was seriously that bad

If you want a truly good emulation console, go with a raspberry pi, or buy a used Wii, install Homebrew on it, and play all the old games ever. Both of those will work just as well as an NES or SNES classic.

nextlastgengamer and if you want to go portable the PSP is a pretty decent emulation machine for NES, SNES, GBA, Genesis, etc. With a microsd adapter you can fit all their ROMs and have plenty of PSP games as well.

[@mastercat381]

The Atari Flashback 2 - specifically the 2 - was actually a really solid mini console; mainly because it actually ran on a scaled down version of the 2600, rather than an emulator or a weird "console on a chip." It was even planned to have a cartridge port, and while they didn't actually add it, all of the hardware required to add one yourself is still on the board; it's even marked so you can easily do it yourself. Games were also pretty good, it had all the actual good games plus a few prototypes that were never actually released.
