Sorry, but no.  The PS1 was not overrated, it was the best console with the best games in its generation.  This classic is just the greatest example of why these classics are nothing more than collectors items or toys for people who never owned the original consoles and games in the first place.  Not a single classic yet has seemed worth the money for any actual gamer.

Riddled with personal opinions and misconceptions.  Go on Atari Age or YouTube and see how many people buy these mini consoles for actual play, or just to put on a shelf.  And to say that no one who bought one ever played them back in the day, lol.  And then to say that no "actual gamer" would find value in one of them... wow.  It's good to know that you get to classify who is and isn't an "actual gamer".  That must be a hefty burden for you to bear.

If they served no other purpose than just sitting in a collection, no one would complain when a shoddy version of one comes out.  It literally wouldn't matter if the emulation quality was good or bad.  No one would care.  Just because Sony throws a lazily rushed cash grab product into the holiday marketspace doesn't vindicate your belief that all retro consoles are pieces of trash for people you believe are non-gamers.

Yeah of course it's my opinion.  What the hell do you think all this crap is?  Opinions.  IMO if you are satisfied with the NES Classic as anything more than a collectors item or to play some shits and giggles games for a little while you aren't much more than a sunday gamer.  AKA not much of a gamer really.  And yeah, this PS1 classic is the shittiest of a line shitty classics.  It really is nothing more than a PS1 with a crap limited library with an HDMI port slapped onto it.

Though, the fact that the other classics have more than an HDMI port slapped onto it, still don't make them appealing to me.

More opinions.  Please cry more.
