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.

You didn't know that pc/laptop/mobile/psp/calculator can be plugged to TV? I believe compute sticks with windows 10 are even smaller than nes mini but do a million things more than just emulate nes.

usually with lag though. If you're running a program on one device and then streaming it to another there will almost always be lag, sometimes better or worse

and, again, the whole point of a plug and play system is the virtue of literally taking it out of the box and being ready to game. Emulation, especially for the tiny files of older games, can be fairly quick to setup but if you've never done it before it does take a little time to download a program and then the other files you want. Its certainly not something a casual nostalgic person is going to care to do

 

anyone pretending the NES Classic doesn't have a logical market is being silly. It does, and even potentially to people who already have the original games or who emulate from time to time. Its aimed at casuals but in terms of function its a very convenient answer to newer televisions that can sometimes respond awkwardly to older devices or streaming

the real question some of you should be asking is: should Nintendo have asked a higher price and just included a much larger library? that seems like the real complaint here from people
