Draco1962 Posted June 12, 2019 Author Share Posted June 12, 2019 Because everyone else is doing it and the fan boys with the grey hair and the stable incomes will spend their nostalgia bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never did own a Turbografx-16. I'm a bit interested, but I will probably let this pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansolo77 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I'm not interested. I might be thrilled to get a Mini Genesis as a gift, but I don't need any kind of mini console. I just don't seed the fad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIP-Felix Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Ideally, I feel that supporting these projects signals public interest for retro games. It may help renew the gaming industry's interest in preserving video game history, a role the emulation scene has traditionally filled. I can't see them ever doing so with the same attention to detail, but it would signal a good shift in thinking. One toward preservation, rather than neglect. Having said that, I have enough of these mini consoles already. Also, I don't think the industry cares about old games or feels loyalty to their aging demographic of nostalgic would be coustomers. This is a cash grab on the coat tails of Nintendo's sucess with the NESC and SNESC. That all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tthurman Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Yep, Nintendo proved that you could neglect your fans by dropping a handful of units (comparatively speaking) and watch everyone go nuts over them, so now everyone releases them in bulk and floods the market with this landfill. I'll take the real thing over any of these minis, although the SNES almost turned me to the dark side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
