It looks fun, but not at that price tag. And the supply issues seem to not be resolving themselves.

I personally would get an actual n64 or emu if I was going about it, but its nice we have options. If people do actually want a "premium" experience, it looks like the actual device is doing its job. When you can get one.

The two or three N64 games that are actually worth playing have already been recompiled into PC versions.

Analogue is shitty about supply. I understand they are a small company and can't make an infinite supply like nintendo, Sony and Microsoft can but their scarcity market is insane. I checked the reddit and it seems like its a lot of fanboys and scalpers that scoop up all the units and leave few for the rest of us.

Luckily I've been able to score an NT, Super NT, Pocket and 3D without too much trouble and now I can actually play my old cartridges on modern TVs again. I learned my lesson with the pocket though and waited until the colored versions came out for the 3D.
