Sure, the Super NES was totally awesome, but would you be willing to blow $700 on the thing? Now, you may really love your Pilot Wings and Super Mario World, but we’re in the mother-of-all recessions here and $700 seems like quite a lot considering that you can play all those games for free these days. Besides, the controls on the thing look very awkward with the D-pad and buttons position way high (not to mention the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle-type color scheme going on).
On the upside, the display looks to be full color, and has a max resolution of 256 x 224 (which is even a hair sharper than the Nintendo DSi’s 256 x 192). Plus, there’s a 3.58-MHz processor in there . Not bad I guess, but for the price you can get a device that can do a whole lot more besides play SNES games. And with rumors of the Apple iSlate, who knows what apps and emulators may be coming out.
