You hit the nail on the head. I now have a Pi thanks to the retro craze of the NES classic, but truly do not see the point of shelling out $60 bucks on a console that can only play 30 games and still need an additional controller.

That being said the purist of the world would say that emulators are simply emulating the hardware and then emulating the software, where the NES Classic is actually running the original hardware with the preloaded original game files. Nothing is actually being emulated since it is the untouched original files.

I'm not that serious into classic games, and to be honest the only NES game to see a decent amount of play time on my pi has been Super Dodge Ball, which in my opinion is one of the best multiplayer games on NES.

I already added the majority of the NES library to it, and it can be modded to play Sega and SNES games, but the kinks for that still needs to be worked out. I had been using an emulator on my PSP for NES games, but I do prefer using the old gamepad.

I played so much SNES on my PSP that I forgot that new PSP games were being made. I still somewhat regret updating my PSP and losing my emulators back in college.

Plus the Alexandria place fell apart so quickly that it isn't how or where I picture the group.

I did pick up the Aaron (said as A A-Ron) figure from Walgreen on Friday though and he is packed with accessories!
