You can't leave Pokemon out but there just isn't really a way to actually integrate it and there's really no point in doing so because of the 3DS.

Without it being online you run into a big problem

I don't know if they'd ever do a Game Boy Classic. The NES and SNES Classic can be made on the cheap because they're really just Systems-On-A-Chip running a specialized emulator. For a Game Boy Classic, you'd need to have an actual portable unit with a screen, batteries, and everything.
Also, I booted up Final Fantasy 6 on the SNES Classic and it's weird playing it while it's called FF3 and with the old translation. And without a run button.

They could always add a link cable for 2 player game like Tetris and Pokemon.

Yeah, whatever third party Sega has for those systems is garbage. I saw the handheld ones they got I wonder if they are decent at best I had one. It pretty much the same quality as the systems.

Yeah, someone did a tear down on YouTube a couple of years back and the handhelds are for all intents and purposes the exact same hardware as the consoles. You can excuse the crappy audio and occasionally buggy emulation on the handhelds because you're not expecting amazing things from a handheld at that price point. When you're paying out a similar price to Nintendo's minis for the console, however, that low quality isn't acceptable.

Odd every place I see selling the AT Games Genesis consoles and handhelds has them for 20 to 35. So they are much cheaper than the Minis.

it's before my time, but from my understanding, the NES and SNES never took off too much over here because there was already a ton of home computer games systems like the Amiga and the C64 Sega got the jump on Nintendo in Europe and Nintendo never really made a concentrated effort to claw back their overwhelming home console market share and concentrated on the Game Boy, which dominated all. Umm the NES was out for almost year before Master System was launched in Europe. Its just Nintendo made the bad decision of having Mattel as their main distributor in Europe who ended up doing an absolutely appallingly bad job of doing that.

I was thinking more of the Mega Drive, which was already in an uncatchable position by the time the SNES launched.

I don't think I've ever seen a store sell it for more than that. In fact I'm actually thinking about buying the handheld version.

It retails at exactly the same price as the SNES Classic in the U.K. (around $107). There's also a SD-only model that retails for £60 ($94), and a portable that retails for £60.

Yeah like, a 2DS starts at $79.99 and offers so much more than a Game Boy Classic would for gaming (as well as Netflix, a web browser, and, well, 3DS/DS games). I'd much rather see them move on to a N64 Mini solely to see how it ends up looking.

Lasts like 12 hours on one charge. And with a SD card you can really expand the games The sound is a bit off. But most of the time I am playing it I got the sound turned off anyways. Usually if you keep an eye on sales you can find one for 25 near Xmas. Now I gotta find the portable Atari 2600.

WOW I saw the console version tonight at two different Dollar Generals for $35. Got one of them for my cousin's husband and kids a few years ago. The wireless controllers that come with it ain't great. But you can get old 6 button Genesis/Mega Drive controllers fairly cheap. EDIT just saw you posted the HD model. Yeah that one is 50 or 60 over here.

They sell like hot cakes over here, though I frequently see them available on the second-hand market, so evidently plenty of people get buyer's remorse.

Honestly I probably wouldn't know what to do with a Genesis emulation system of solid quality if I got one. I was always kind of more of a Nintendo kid so I know way more what to play on the SNES than I would on that.

I am shocked at how well the portable Genesis has held up for me. It stays in my bookbag and has been on many many road trips the past 3 years.I do like how with a cable I already had from an old portable DVD player I can hook to Genesis up to any TV that has AV jacks. One draw back is any game that requires a battery to back up saves won't save. But as small as the screen is reading text in RPGs isn't the easiest for my eyes. From what I read the portable Atari 2600 is even better than the portable Genesis.

The AtGames Genesis consoles are all absolute shit. The sound is always questionable and they never fix it.
From what I've seen of serious Genesis fans who have more disposable income than I do, just throw the money down on a working JVC X'Eye and start accumulating real games.
Just make sure you've got $500 US free for a cart-only copy of MUSHA. You'll want one.
