Yeah, but it seems like Nintendo could just move to a slightly newer SoC (say the Allwinner H3) with the same software stack and keep putting these out at a $2 premium to cover the more expensive SoC.
A similar board to what was in the NES Classic, the OrangePi One, is $9.99 retail, and I'm sure Nintendo could put in under 20hrs of work total to add what they need to the board and stay within a dollar or two of that board's price point.
- planteen 10y ago20 hours of work? Are you kidding me? You are going to need to spin the PCB, re-validate signal integrity, deal with the situation of purchasing over 100k of the part, re-tool your manufacturing setup, make whatever software changes are required and re-validate SW, and probably a whole lot of other things.
