The good news is since all those games are easy to download and  it has WHDLoad you can play those games on it using a usb drive , it just for ease of use and isn't aimed at retro gamers who own an Amiga more at gamers who no longer have one or would like to experience it with todays features.

The even better news is since all those games are easy to download: most people going that route don't need to buy the A500 mini, since they can play the downloaded games on hardware they already have.

Old PC, laptop, Chromebook, Raspberry Pi, Android phone or tablet, Xbox One/Series in developer mode... even a PlayStation Classic can emulate an Amiga.

I mentioned that in reply to your games list to let you know that it's capable of having more games than just the 25, obviously there are alternatives, just like all the mini consoles it's just another emulation platform still it' a lot easier for those that have don't know much about emulation it's pretty much plug and play it's not targeted at hardcore retro gamers, still for a simple mini console it has some nice features like emulating other chipsets like the a1200 and save and resume.

I most likely won't buy it, mainly because they also made The C64 mini and then bought out  the C64 maxi and apparently the same here.
