I'd rather play the retro games (that already exist) on my Wii U where I can go off screen mode on the gamepad and move anywhere (or on my New 3ds XL for that matter). Also, I'm sure whatever 'new' retro games made will not JUST release on this device, but also on the eshop/steam/other streaming devices. It does sound interesting, though!


I'm pretty certain most games will not just be released for this. It's to give people choice. If you're ok with digital, this might not be for you, but if you want a physical cartridge and a simple console with nearly no OS interference, then it's indeed very interesting.


Physical cartridge = I have to clean the dust out of the stupid thing every now and then and make sure I don't drop it and brake off some of the inner fragile stuff.

I don't mind the 3-4 seconds it takes to boot up the OS on the Wii U (which is awesome because I can directly select which app I want to launch instantly upon hitting the button on the gamepad), but I guess if people are THAT impatient then this device would be worth it. I'm all about playing old school games, but I love the convenience of modern devices (and the Wii retro controller and wii pro controller are HORRIBLE compared to the Wii U pro controller).
