All that's really left is for Trip Hawkins to come from out of nowhere with a new 3DO!
Maybe he'll finally release the M2!
3DOHNO?
I'll buy that for a dollar. Literally, I'd pay one dollar to that Kickstarter, as an insult.
Trip Hawkins should just eat some mushrooms and trip balls, then he'll come up with some great ideas for T.V. shows 😂🤮
"Picking on the Amico is like boxing a 4 year old" had me absolutely dying at work.
I watched you guys cover these "fake" retro consoles over the years and didn't even think about buying them. Back when the Atari flash back came out i considered buying it but instead bought an Atari game collection for Play Station. Great videos guys keep em coming!
That’s the thing. You can buy compilations of these games on anything. And whatever isn’t out, just emulate it.
@@sloppynyuszi Yea i know
It kind of reminds me of the early 80s during the crash when you had a bunch of different consoles from every brand out there. Weird how history repeats itself.
Hopefully we don't recrash. I doubt it, but it does fill littered with crap at times.
Tiger games was giving us the "best" in Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat at an affordable price. :)
It's wheels within wheels....!

@@onetwo6039 If there is a big crash, this won't cause it, there are really only three serious players in the console market, al of them are very well established and all of this other stuff is really just a niche market. Vs. the 80s when the market in general wasn't really established at all and consumers really didn't understand navigating all of the various consoles and crap. Also they had to compete a lot more directly with computers instead of that being it's own semi-separate market like it is today.
The Amico is a great idea if you remove the motion controls bs, remove the lights, remove the screen (replace it with buttons and insert) and allow pixel art games on it.
MarquisDeSang I agree. As close to the original with a small team of developers to make new games in that retro aesthetic would get my $100. if the controllers were identical to the old Intellivision (wired) and it had wi fi capabilities to possibly add to your library digitally, that would work. Modernizing Intellivision to the point that it's not anything close to the original is this things downfall and Talarico should be conscious of that.
Evercade VS at least is giving us some value and have a price and strategy in place. 99.99 or 129.99 with the games that you get is better than say 249.99 with a game of dice.
Game of dice with a 2 seconds lag (as seen on TV)
those guys were really smart, they went for the jugular in so many aspects and did their thing right. Thats the project I wished we had like 3 or 4 years before its release. At the end, we all have smartphones and emulators at hand.
Evercade was good
I like the simple fact that if it ever releases and your embassessed about owning an Amico you can just tell your friends it's a footbath.

Earthworm Jiménez, your name is fantastic, I have to say. Talking of our favourite worm, I really am quite sad that the new earthworm jim sequel that looks like a sort of rayman origins treatment but for the old classic 2D earthworm jim games, is exclusive to this dumb ass console. Nobody is gonna be able to play an earthworm jim game with controllers that are entirely touch screen. Touch screen controls are the number one worst thing about trying to play a game on a phone or a tablet, hence why people serious about emulation like myself use a Bluetooth game pad. Or get a device like the GPD XD plus, which I love to bits
But yeah. They're like "you know the worst thing about mobile games? Let's bring that over to our console even though it's a home console and the main benefit of being a home console is that we can have actual physical buttons on our controllers, nah screw that, touchscreens are futuristic and totally Rad, man"
You absolutely cannot play earthworm jim 1 and 2 with touchscreen controls. Literally nobody can. You need very fast twitch reactions to things like enemies or obstacles
So this new earthworm jim game that looks bloody fantastic, well it doesn't matter, only 2 dozen people will ever buy this console and so be one of the rare few to be able to play the new game, but then none of them will be able to enjoy it because you can ONLY use touch screen controls. Again, on a HOME CONSOLE
It's absolutely nuts. A new earthworm jim game like the classics would sell like hotcakes, look at the success of streets of rage 4, for example. But this new earthworm jim game is exclusive to this stupid ass console that only 2 dozen people will buy (and 20 people from that 2 dozen will just be youtubers who only bought it so they could tear it down in a highly critical review, very few people will buy it because they are just gamers who want a new console).
How hard would it be to port the new EJ game to all the consoles and PC? But no, they wanna make it exclusive to the worst controlling console that will have ever existed. Literally worse than the atari 5200.
As you can tell I'm a bit upset by this. I just wanna play the new EJ game. But I never will, unless some bright spark works out how to emulate this Amico console on pc or android devices.
I agree this form of nostalgia will fade. I think something like the Evercade Vs will continue with compilations and homebrew games. That's why the Arcade 1up is popular. They aren't trying to reinvent the wheel.
Pat you forgot, these properties. Neo Geo, TurboGrafx 16, and Commodore 64
When you say forgot you mean that all 3 came out but Pat didn't mention them? Yeah, true, though it would be nice to see a better Neo-Geo console.
"Newstalgia". Actually surprised it hasn't been used yet.
Nostalgia is dangerous. People will lose their shit over a tinted memory.
there are still old games from the late 80s and early 90s that are amazing but lets not get obsessed defending them.
Yeah I members.
"perverting nostalgia in a weird way"
Great summary!
The Evercade is the "modern retro" system that's coming out of all of this in great condition and with a nice future. The Evercade portable has been a niche success to the point where the Evercade VS console is coming out and more and more Evercade cartridges keep coming out. I love the Evercade. Not only is it well priced and has collections of classic retro games from the 80's and 90's, but as Ian said, Evercade also has collections of modern indie games that play just like classic 8-bit / 16-bit games. Xenocrisis for Evercade is awesome. Xeno Crisis is a game originally released during 2019 for the Sega Genesis (yeah, a Sega Genesis release during 2019) and I love playing it on the Evercade (Xeno Crisis was released in a combo pack with another modern 16-bit indie game called Tanglewood on Evercade).
Evercade's Indie Heroes collection, which comes out soon, is really cool since it has some really cool modern indie games on it (I'm looking forward to Deadeus... it's an "M rated" horror game done in an 8-bit Black and white Gameboy style. From what I've been hearing, it's very effective in it's horror and there is a damn good reason why it has a "M" rating, despite looking like a Final Fantasy Legend / Pokemon Gameboy game). Evercade is pretty cool and has pretty much taken over that "niche console" market that the new Atari VCS will never have, the Coleco Chameleon never had since it was never released, and the Intellivision Amico will most likely NOT get (honestly, the Amico is going to get screwed over since it's price point makes it where people with $300 in their pocket are either going to buy a Switch if they want the best family friendly modern console or they are going to spend $100 to $130 on an Evercade portable or Evercade VS console (both of which come with several pack in games) if they want a cheaper option that gives them a retro feeling. Competition wise, Amico is stuck in a very bad space between the Switch and Evercade).
I recently just discovered the Evercade's VS (I knew of the handheld). They have a great price and strategy in place. Not only do they have affordable physical cartridges with multiple games but they also have the indie games as you stated with more cartridges on the way. The ironic thing is that you can play the Intellivision pack and get those games without even having to invest in an Amiico. It is unfortunate, but Amiico travelled into the Switch/Xbox Series S territory that they wanted no part of and it seems that they were making things up as they went along. There is only so far you can go on the name of Tommy Tallorico and mobile looking Intellivision games.
The evercade releasing these indie games on a modern cartridge is the most promising thing about it. Some of those are on steam and Nintendo Eshop, but having a physical modern cartridge scratches the retro itch better, and to be honest, I rather this than finding a 20 year old mega drive and hoping it works. Seeing the struggles people had finding a specific mega drive model to get Paprium to work looks like a nightmare.
Aside from having original consoles and games my nostalgia ends with those mini consoles, and I've used them so little they are essentially just decoration.
Failing to get the dream project done and make it profitable must suck, but so does being an early adopter and owning one of those dream projects and realizing that's all there was to it. Glad you guys are being as accurate as you are to the legitimacy of these shallow usurpers.
I never understood why they released a poly mega on Amazon's Japanese storefront but never releases it on the American storefront where it's marketed to. I remember asking them this on either Twitter, and all I did was like my response.
It's because Walmart was meant to be the Polymega's exclusive American seller, like how Amazon was for Japan. Unfortunately, Walmart royally screwed them over, which is one of the larger factors that has lead to Playmaji's absolute silence for months. Had Walmart not screwed them over, they might have actually had a small launch by the end of 2020, at the very least, which would have helped give them some good will, since the people who actually do have the product (either via the beta testers or the scant few that actually got their pre-orders shipped) have had generally good things to say about it. Now it's currently stuck in limbo as a product without any sort of major distribution partner, combined with whatever other problems the company is having. It's just so weird.
if the polymega achieves accurate Saturn and N64 emulation then it justifies its existence.
I really never understood why these things were consoles. Why does Intellivision need it's own console to deliver new content in a retro style? Why not just publish games on existing platforms with the INTV branding and have them be games in the style of the old system? That would tickle the nostalgia bone with new content but would stand a real chance of finding an audience.
An alternative idea, which would have a market but not as much of one as a pure software idea, is to make modern systems like companies like Analogue do that play old games. Old Atari systems that work well as becoming less common and they're RF only and don't connect to modern TVs. Make a modern system that connects by HDMI and accepts the old cartridges and that's a product with some sort of a market. I don't think it's that big but old school Atari collectors would want that. You could probably also re-release some of the old carts, too. This idea would probably be a huge hit for Nintendo and less for Atari but the concept has some legs.
AtGames FlashBack: $40
Anything else: $40+
As a non-gamer, the choice is clear.
Back in Monday, we called them "microconsoles".
Consoles that prey on nostalgia without delivering said nostalgia. I don't see the motivation for the creators nor the appeal for the customers.
Indeed. Why would I buy an Amico over, say, a Retron 3 HD or a Super Retro Trio+? Both of those let you play most of the original carts, as well as new carts being made by publishers like Mega Cat Studios and Piko Interactive.
The Atari VCS hasn't been forced on us like that foot massager
its greed, greed ruined them before they had a chance.
Think u guys hit the nail on the head with this one. You are exactly right that "new nostalgia" just didnt land.
I'm in the middle of collecting mini consoles and so far I got scammed on two consoles of course the NES and the Snes classic. Thanks eBay money back guarantee
I still plan to get the Amico at some point just so I can play the original games on a modern tv with a touch screen controller for the overlays.
i cant wait for in a few years after the amico fails and we get like the Magnavox Odyssey 3 thats trying to do the same thing and then fails and then we get the Fairchild Channel F remake console. it's going to be a wild ride.
For myself, anything prior to the NES has ever been (and never will be) a viable option for a "retro" consoles. There is absolutely no nostalgia for that time period. The games were way too primitive to provoke any sense of emotion that I feel the need to revisit. I was given one of those Atari's from like Walgreens a few years back that had the built in games in it,...I hooked it up to the TV and immediately put it back in the box. Just nothing for it.
You've lived the "Golden Age of Games" sketch from Limmy's Show
I mean there is nostalgia but I feel like it's a "soft" nostalgia. What I mean by that is the generation who is nostalgic for it is also a generation that was told video games are for kids and you "grow out of it". So, the likelihood they've gone back since their childhood to play them is unlikely. If you sat them down to play now I give it 5 minutes before those warm nostalgic memories turn into "this isn't quite as good as I remember it".
@@devilmikey00 Yeah, that's MY generation! I remember playing Adventure and Pitfall and those games, but there's nothing that will remotely draw me back to wanting to play those games.
I despise the fact that Atariage has becoming a major simp for the Amico. Criticizing it is NOT allowed. At all.
Not sure what happened there. They blasted the Coleco Chameleon.
@@chrissawyer1484 Tommy Tallarico has the sort of charisma needed for a cult leader.
Tommy is next going to make an Amiga 32 clone console next 😆
I'd actually love a CD32 remake.
32x add-on would be more like. Similar shape too.
It's not about nostalgia period so much as it is just trying to revive a dead brand these companies don't seem to get it, just because they had Legions of fans back in the eighties doesn't mean the new company can sit there revive at all that's like taking a corpse out of the ground putting some makeup on it and calling it alive. The only one of us are going to check it out or there to see the freak Show
That sounds like their reason for being is to sell nostalgia
Diss Raps yeah I was confused too
I've enjoyed this trilogy of fake retro consoles but it's time for all things to end. I just hope that there are no prequels or sequels after Disney buys the Pat, The NES Punk brand.
@Diss Raps sooner or later, Disney will own everything
I think the big mistake that these projects have made is misunderstanding the nature of nostalgia in this context. If there is nostalgia, it is for the retro *games*, and there already plenty of ways to play those games. These projects seem to think that there is a pent up nostalgia for retro *brands*, and that a certain retro nameplate on a new, unproven, unfamiliar and probably very quickly unsupported piece of hardware will lead to success.
You can go on eBay and pick up machines with literally every retro game on them for around £100. These new machines are dead on arrival.
Powkiddy and Anbernic: Allow us to introduce ourselves.......
I await both of these in the bargain bins. I do love to have oddities like these... but not at the prices they are asking.
Is that VCS WORTH GETTING IF YOU JUST WANT A POWERFUL EMULATOR OR JUST GET A MID RANGE GAMING PC
i've been saying it...the amico will be 39.99 on year after launch and in 5 years will be going for 500 on ebay because it's "rare"
I agree with everything that was said....HOWEVER, if there was a magical way to make a new Vectrex that could play new games on an actual color vector monitor, I'm in!
Yes, the Fake Retro console craze is over.
Now, about the Soulja boy 2 console...
@Prophet Muhammad Consumes Pig Seamen
For real? Man, I missed the ZX Spectrum next, now this.
4:03 I thought this the entire time whenever I've seen these retro consoles. Are any of these turning a profit? Is there any sustainability to their market? Their target audience is mostly older people; kids don't care about these at all.
Well the Evercade is doing just fine.
people want quality, and the quality of these products don't match the price they are putting it out for. And emulation/retropie and its 100s of integrations on PC killed off needs for things like PolyMega
people aren't going to pay 400 for a linux box that looks like an Atari 2600. They will pay 300 for a FPGA system from a reputable company (i.e Analogue)
Personally I like the look of the atari vcs 800.
Best segment title ever
I wonder what the market is for a modern Ford Model T reboot? Same performance, just with modern parts. It can perform like modern cars, but it'll be handicapped to original performances to be safe for all those who don't like the speed of modern horseless carriages.
I think the nostalgia that is being exploited is not specifically the "I miss playing x game as a child" but more of a "I miss this brand being relevant." It's like a Sega fan daydreaming for a new Sega console (or Sega specific streaming service/platform). I'm not saying there is a viable long term market or that I really disagree with the overall sentiment of the video. I just think that what these "Retro Consoles" are selling is a longing for relevance of childhood products.
Metal Jesus made a good point that the market for retro games is limited. How many 30yo and older people can justify these huge prices when you have cheaper alternatives.
The Value of the Evercade VS blows the Amico out of the water
In the Amico's defense, the Evercade up until now, at least, only appears to have traditional control/input schemes, while the Amico is bringing back rotary control and trying to integrate touch panels. So to me it has the opportunity to bring interesting new/old experiences to the table.
@@CaptainCaveman1170 I don't want the Amico to fail but they do need ip's and software developers to actually make games or it will just be an accent on your table
@@JohnKreesesKarate777 Yes very true and your original point was very valid I just wanted to highlight one interesting thing that as of right now, only the Amico seems to want to pursue.
I don’t think that it’s going to end any time soon. I can see a new wave coming through where the pitch is going to be “We understand what the issues that came out of the [INSERT FAILED RETRO CONSOLE HERE], but ours is not going to be like that.”
If they made an Xbox mini or jaguar mini I'd buy it and their ecosystem
Ok, the Jag mini sounds like an actual good idea. I would easily throw my money at that👍
OG Xbox is difficult to emulate acceptably so I’d be interested in an Xbox Mini (or even a compilation pack of OG Xbox titles for the Xbox Series X/Steam).
Remember Nintendo owns 90% of their library. A Xbox mini would be limited to halo and other 1st party releases or be extremely expensive...a jaguar mini sane thing very limited 1st party titles
@@evanhunke1676 It would be amazing if they could get it done. Especially the mini jag w slightly smaller official controllers and a cartridge slot like the mini gen. So many fun games on that system.
@@ericko777 yea but almost none were 1st party atari tiles. Distribution isn't cheap
The Amico’s price point would need to go way down to be viable. I honestly think it has potential, but potential does not equal success. The controller concepts intrigue me, but they need to intrigue developers more than the consumers. We all saw how underutilized the Wii and WiiU’s controllers were. Controllers can have all the bells and whistles in the world, but they mean nothing if developers don’t care to make use of them with their games.
Yes. If the Amico had project games other than Cornhole that utilize the controller to the fullest that might make it interesting. When I first saw it back in 2018 it looked pretty good. Now I see they are putting very few games with motion controls, touchpad controls and speaker/ mic as if they are passing the torch and leaving a savy developer to tap into it.
Honestly the Atari VCS is the only solid console VCS isn't fake it's actually cool I own one I'm just not gonna bore people with another UA-cam video
Emulation consoles will never end but emulating an actual console would end. The future of famiclones will continue but there won't be a third Atari vcs
Even beyond the retro consoles themselves, Hyperkin and Retro-Bit have really stepped up their game in the clone console market, and AtGames' Arcade Legends systems offer a mix of official and unofficial gaming potential.
Then we have the Evercade, various Namco and Atari compilations already on modern platforms. Hell, Evercade could corner the market by putting out carts with just the hard-to-find, expensive 8/16-bit games. However, the fake-retro stuff, that's not going to last long. The best way one of these systems would exist in the market is as a cheap-ish platform that would allow for easy access to physical games from indies, along with retro compilations. None of this is gonna fly if it costs twice as much as a Pi 4/400.
Hey, hey, easy on the Wii U. I love that system.
Wii U was great. Much nicer screen for mario maker
What will fill the twenty minutes of the CU podcast that's dedicated to these every week though?
I’d still buy a N64 classic! It could only have 10 great games, as long as it was around 100$, I’d cop it for sure. 📺🧲📟
@Diss RapsYep, that’s been the case so far, that’s why I doubled it. ✌️
In motorcycling it's referred to as, "neo-retro". Cynically, it's largely an excuse to focus on an aesthetic and marketing intangibles rather than expensive, empirical criteria like performance, features and usability.
Summer is around the corner i imagine the room gonna get hot
I can't wait for the VCS to drop in price (I mean drop like 32X price drop) so I can get one
The Evercade is really great. It doesn’t cost to much and the games are a great price. Very easy to just pick up and play.
Vectrex is really all we need. But its probably unfeasible at best.
I don't think they were ever viable. Unless you count laundering kickstarter/indiegogo money directly into their pockets as successful. With the lone exception of the VCS not one of these has become a product you can buy and in the VCS's case, has it made a single dime in profits?
A mini Odyssey 2 would be a day 1 purchase for me 😁
If it has the KC Munchkin games and Quest of the Rings, I'd be right behind you.
@@chrissawyer1484 Yesss!!!
OMG Pat what are you talking about!?!?!? there are still the "Tiger Handheld" properties!! As soon as someone creates a Brand New Tiger Handheld System that has 3rd party support and ranking systems and New and exciting Exclusives!! They will have ALL MY MONEY!!!!!
Coming soon from Tiger Electronics and Disney... The LCDisney Console! All your favorite Tiger LCD Disney games on an Android-based system with built-in Disney+ streaming. Only $499 _(Membership fees not included)_
This is so on point. Why would I be nostalgic for games I can play almost anywhere.
Why would I want a fucking TalAmico branded, oversized cel phone.
The Soulja Game is pure fake retro.
This will put the cat amongst the pigeons
A DOS mini console could be interesting, with games like Doom, Duke Nukem 3D, X-COM UFO Defense, Epic Pinball, Jazz Jackrabbit, Commander Keen, Indy 500, etc.
That would be cool, but I think it already kind of exists: RetroPi
I’m so excited for the Playdate handheld
I was over the fake systems back when the retron5 was new.
What about the ZX Spectrum Next, that has its own exclusive games?
I'm just sad that the new Earthworm Jim game that's a 2D platformer like the classic ones, is an exclusive for this Amico thing. What a genuine tragedy. About 2 dozen people in the world will buy that console and get to play the new earthworm jim, except of course it'll be terrible because they made the stupid ass decision to have the controllers be entirely touch screen. Jesus christ. So the 2 dozen people who get to play it will never be able to beat it cos of how dumb the controllers are
Earthworm Jim is a super popular series, it should be released on every console and on PC. But it never will. This isn't a timed exclusive. It's literally being developed only for this stupid ass console that literally nobody will buy. No Switch version. No PlayStation or xbox version. Jesus
It was never going to be made
At least the Atari VCS is not as gimmicky as the Amico or fake like the Chameleon. A very low bar, tho.
Thank You
IF all 3rd party developers with an extensive history of retro games; would release all the games in their back catalog in competent collections (with excellent/not poor emulation) on current consoles; then we could finally stop seeing these things pop up in the market. I would want it on any console, but especially on the Nintendo Switch; as it has a plethora of controller options that are modeled to look like past consoles (thanks to 8bitdo and other companies; and not just from Nintendo systems). The Switch is plenty powerful enough to emulate Sega Saturn, N64 Dreamcast, PS1-3, Gamecube, Xbox original, Arcade 2017-below and anything under that; with the hybrid model for both handheld and home console play options. I know such a thing would take time; but I would be willing to wait if they made an official statement; saying that this is their eventual goal (in the same way Hamster Corp is doing with the Arcade Archives line). This alone would kill the Chinese handheld, Pandora box Market (I know I wouldn't care to buy those anymore) and if Nintendo made this a main selling point of the Switch line; that would appeal to many retro enthusiasts (lol, imagine if another side effect of DLSS on the upcoming Switch revision; was perfect image replication of retro games in an aspect ration that seems identical to actual hardware). Just some thoughts really and a missed opportunity if this wasn't done.
Pat, what do you think is the bigger grift, the vcs or amico
Tommy and intellivision shouldn't have bothered with hardware at all and just released the Amico games on mobile,consoles,PC etc because some of the games do look fun but not £250 fun
I do wish someone would make an Odessey II mini. I don't collect games at all and won't start down that dark path but I'll buy a mini console.
Pat said "fill my hole" WOW....
I am happy if they make a console that plays your old live media and if the system it works on has the ability of downloading new games and independent games is great. Emulation is nice but that's just it... emulation. I like the real aspect of videogames.
Personally I think there's plenty of room for new retro consoles. As long as they generally follow these 5 rules. 1 put the games of the console your initiating on said console. That means if your making an Atari inspired console put Atari games on it. 2 if you put any other games on said console they should be either homebrew games. Or remakes/different versions of games. For example including both the 2600 version of Pacman along with the arcade version. Or putting DuckTales Remastered on a NES inspired console. 3 any brand new games you might wanna put on said console needs to be a game that fits with it's vibe. An example of this would be like putting Shantae on a SNES based console. Since it feels alot like the SNES version of Aladdin. 4 don't make your console too powerful. Nobody cares if your Atari based console runs Crysis. All your doing is making your console more expensive. 5 stop trying to get exclusive games. If you want exclusive games then make a new console. Instead of something that is based/inspired by an old one.
But we haven't gotten a Fake Retro Vectrex yet!!!!
I would love to see all of it to succeed
You were great in Basket Case!
Pat be careful. You might get another call from the fake tommy. Booooom!
The whole idea of these emulation based consoles is just plain stupid these days with stuff like the Raspberry Pi & whatnot available. There is truly no reason for anyone to buy something like these, unless they are simply unwilling to download ROMS off the internet & insist on paying for something that they could easily be getting for free.
Their choice, but seems rather foolish if you ask me. The selection is going to be rather limited with these official emulation consoles anyway because they have to get licensing rights for those games in order to sell them. It's just not a good solution.
I got ROMs and Steam for my retro (and neo-retro) goodness. I’m definitely interested in something new but I’m sitting back and watching all this play out before I give anyone my money.
I want a Texas Instrument mini PC.
Dude... do you guys really have a patreon??? hadn't heard.
I call it Nostalgia-bait
The mini consoles are one thing, but the rest of these weird things seem pointless. That’s a problem when you’re trying to sell shit. I think these are actually perfectly retro. They are facsimiles of something from the past, with games that try to capture the spirit of that era. That’s different than things that play just original games from the era
Xenocrisis and Tanglewood are not modern games. They are new retro games. Either way, they are most definitely retro & are not what I think anyone could consider "modern". They specifically run on old hardware and were developed for that very purpose.
i enjoy my super nt and nes variant we need a decent n64 one and we need one for the early disk media ps1 saturn etc that’s decent
that is the problem with all these consoles it is all too little too late there are way better way to play these old games we don't need any new consoles
speaking of boxing a 4 year old, when will pat fight tommy?
Nothing is better than the millions of ATGames consoles
The WiiU actually sold 13.5million
atari vcs and intellivision amico is not a fake system hardware at all it's real i think they are awesome to me in my book.
I’m glad that the Jaguar molds are no longer in the wrong hands, but I actually did like the idea of repurposing them.
Jaguar fans would probably appreciate more color options, and you could use it for other systems. The Famicom, another victim of Nintendo’s shortsighted use of bromine, could fit in there as well. The Jaguar’s cartridge slot is wide enough to accommodate a Famicom game, though you might have to use a ribbon cable to relocate the connector, since it sits further back on a Jaguar board. A 2600 clone might be feasible, and it’d be fitting to keep it in the family, but I don’t know if there is demand for another one. Hyperkin and other companies already offer them, HDMI to boot.
All those retro consoles are dead now cause basically these are companies that more or less don't exist anymore. So once the gen xers are done. That's it. Nes, master sys, SNES, etc. Those console makers still more or less exist and have actual sway on the market so you will always be able to get that itch scratched without these kind of people doing it.
Call me when the Amiga CD Mini is announced.
