From the moment this was launched I had wanted to buy one but never could find one in stock at MSRP. Eventually just built a RetroPie box :/

- lcfcjs 9y agoI think many people will do this, plus you get SNES too :)
- mrfusion 9y agoHow hard was it to build? Any tips?
- thesandlord 9y agoIt's fairly straightforward, even if you've never set up a RPi before. Once you set up the SD card, it is all GUI based. I'd recommend a RPi3, USB controller(s) (Xbox controllers work great) and a case. https://retropie.org.uk/ https://retropie.org.uk/
- CWuestefeld 9y agoI started from here: https://retropie.org.uk/ https://retropie.org.uk/ It was actually quite simple. Starting from opening the box on the RPi, that I'd never touched before, being kind of a Linux moron, and tracking down the necessary hardware (an old TV and USB joystick, and some networking stuff), I had it running in just a couple of hours. The only thing that slowed me down at all was figuring out how to copy ROM files onto it through the network.
- joshschreuder 9y agoI just set it up on my Intel NUC and it was quite easy (particularly if you have some basic Linux experience - running scripts etc.). I even managed to get my PS4 and Switch Pro controllers hooked up via BT.
- mysterydip 9y agoAlong with what everyone else said (I've set up retropie, follow the instructions and aside from some quirks it's easy), there's a handful of 3d printed cases you can get for that extra retro feel. Here's a few examples, some people offer for purchase: https://all3dp.com/raspberry-pi-nintendo-nes-case/ https://all3dp.com/raspberry-pi-nintendo-nes-case/
