Not really. It's a plug and play emulator that you can carry around with you and easily plop into any TV. That's not something a normal emulator on mobile or PC can deliver. It's also important to know that it is easily hackable like this at all and that Nintendo hasn't stepped up their DRM game. |
Ultrabook (or a netbook if you're lucky and have one) + USB NES controller + HDMI cable = NES Classic. Portable, can be plopped onto to any TV, and has every NES game instead of just 30.
And if you have the laptop and HDMI cable just because they are common household items nowadays, you really only need the controller, which is like $10. You can enjoy the same experience with the same ease, and only have to pay $10 instead of $60 (or $200+ depending on where you go). NES Classic really is a pointless item. Unless all you really care about is the fancy plastic casing.
