The SNES Classic is locked down and only supports the games it ships with. That's not really comparable to an open console/computer that ships with a selection of old Atari games.
- pjmlp 9y agoYeah, because all Linux based games consoles have been a huge market success thus far. GP2X, Novatio, Pandora, Pyra, Ouya, Steam Machines, ...
- meheleventyone 9y agoI didn't say it would be a success. I was disputing the comparison.
- b3lvedere 9y agoRetroPie .. :)
- girvo 9y agoHey now, the GP32 and the GP2X were pretty successful in their niche: open handheld for gaming. Problem is, smartphones killed em for the most part. I still want a Dingoo A320 but they don’t make them anymore. Only Android based stuff.
- seba_dos1 9y agoI don't know Novatio, but out of the others, Ouya was pretty much the only one that flopped.
- taurath 9y agoA raspberry pi can play all the games this will ship with - why is it $250?
- khedoros1 9y agoBecause a Raspberry Pi can't play all the games that could be added later? If it turns out to be X86 with decent AMD graphics, it'll make a much larger game catalog available.
