The average person probably can't be bothered messing around with emulation or any of that technical stuff, they just plug in their childhood system and enjoy a trip down memory lane.

I am wondering if consoles like the NES/SNES classics likely had an influence as well.
Those retro-devices sold like hotcakes.

Yeah there's been a lot of 80s/90s nostalgia over the last decade or so as Millennials get old enough to miss their childhood, from shows like Stranger Things to games like Shovel Knight, Dusk, Sonia Mania, etc.

There's also a lot of draws to old games over modern ones; no mandatory installs or microtransactions or compulsory online sign-ins, just plug in and play.
