Why hype-based? Isn't an easy to use vintage experience device a legitimate value proposition within itself?

Why hype-based? Isn't an easy to use vintage experience device a legitimate value proposition within itself?
- bowsamic 3y agoIt's a value proposition in the sense that it already exists and people want it, but it's nothing new. Cheap handheld emulator devices have existed for literally decades. The "hype-based" aspect is that they're pretending like it's something revolutionary, hence why they are leaning on this Teenage Engineering-esque marketing style.
- BrazeBeefNoodle 3y agoThis isn't really new (it came out a couple of years ago), but as far as I know it was the first handheld FPGA emulator available. There's debate in this thread about whether FPGA emulation is better or more accurate. In my experience it is, especially in recreation of sound as I remember it from back when these games were new.
