Okay.

Ive got the mini NES and SNES, and then Ive got a retro duo for cart games

---

I have the NES and SNES Classics, both still in the box. No reason why I haven't opened them, yet. Just haven't been motivated to

---

Other: No.

---

No. The SNES games are the only ones I'd be interested in playing and I already have access to them.

And no; not often. I think the last time I must've played them was 3-4 years ago.

---

I have a PC, hacked consoles and handhelds, and a lot of the original games.

---

SNES mini and NES mini and I play them a ton - more than any current gen console.

I have the mini Commodore 64 and mini Genesis, last I checked.

---

I have three of them... I never use them. Just bought them for novelty's sake. I wish Sony hadn't cheaped out soooo bad on theirs. No Silent Hill, RE2, Tomb Raider 2, Twisted Metal 2, Legend of Dragoon, or Castlevania: SotN?! Did the person who decided what to include have brain damage? Then using some inferior PAL versions? It's like they tried to make it flop. I can see stuff like Gran Turismo and THPS being such a licensing nightmare they wouldn't bother... but those other games should have all been there.

No, I own a PC.

I picked up a SNES mini, just because. I've emulated for years, but having an accurate SNES controller that felt like one I grew up with added to the whole experience.

I'm waiting for the Commodore PET mini myself.

I have one of those little arcade sticks that plays a bunch of old Namco games but the joystick doesn't really feel like an arcade stick

---

Yes, PS. I bought a couple after their price bottomed out. Gave one to a buddy for his birthday. He hasn't had internet for a few months, but when he did we played pretty regularly.

I've got the SNES mini. I got it before the Switch Online was a thing, but I'm glad there's some unique games on it. Worth it for Super Mario RPG.

---

NES, PlayStation and Mega Drive. I wanted to buy a TG-16, but they had no local release, and importing wasn't possible at the time because of Covid and then shit happened later last year. I'd love to get one now, but I doubt I'll find any at this point.
---

Other, a bootleg NES one that I never played. I also own a retro genesis, but I don't know if that's a mini or not.

---

I own the snes & nes classics, but honestly, they are more expensive shelf ornaments than actual consoles for me. I would much rather play the games in retroarch, so I doubt I will get suckered into buying another one of these again.

Also has Earthbound, which is nice, since Nintendo seems allergic to putting that game on the Switch.

I flipped an SNES classic when they came out. Got double the price for it. Not really interested in keeping one for myself. I own the carts for most of the SNES games anyway.

Right, I'm glad I have it there to play. I beat it for the first time back on the Wii U!

Got a modded Xbox that plays all those systems and more.

---

I have four mini systems, NES mini ( modded ), SNES mini ( modded ), TurboGrafx 16 mini and the Sega Genesis mini.

All four of these mini systems look great on my 4k TV and also play great. I don't notice any lag while playing or graphical glitchs. Also being able to use 1st party controllers is a huge plus.

I got all of them

---

No.

---

Nope. No point for me.

---

have two of the mini snes ones. one I bought at target, the other I got from eBay loaded with games. really need to find a way to sell them, or just put them in the trash

Do you still have the boxes and everything, complete? I might buy them off you..

No but a few years ago I sold all of my old consoles: NES, SNES, N64, PS1, PS2, and my Sega Dreamcast and all the games.

Now I wish I'd kept them all.

---

@xjayguyx sure I do, everything is in my closet, even got one of them in a carrying case

What would you want for both systems? You also have a paypal account? Maybe we can work something out :)

being able to work something out would be amazing!! I do have a PayPal account (a bit rusty with it, but could find a way to make it work), not sure of a good price, so make an offer and Ill take it

Where you live US? I'm from Canada.

Hmm well you said you want to trash them haha, how about $100 USD plus ill pay what ever the shipping end up being.

If you're from the US the shipping would probably be around $25 to Canada approximately.

So $125 USD in total?

Story of my life. I don't wish I'd kept all of them... I don't miss most of them, TBH... my hugest blunderd I feel were my DC and GC collections 12~ years ago. I didn't need the money, sold them for way below what they were probably worth even at the time, but I was moving and like "who cares?!" - the twist was, I cared, I just didn't know it. I massively regret selling my PS1 stuff, but at the time I did, it was "sell it or get a job" and as a kid, the last thing I wanted was a job. I'd have hated it and also been a lame employee... lol

Whats G. Other?

---

sounds great to me!! just need to get my new bank card in the mail tomorrow, so I can change the numbers the old one was tied to. will also dig them out of the closet and put them in a place to box up.

great guess that I was in the US!!

Eh, you can emulate them anyways if it purely about nostalgia. Unless you are a speed runner or something original hardware is not that big of a deal and if it is you can always just hack the systems, so you can run the games on the original hardware with the benefit of having not to have disc swap. The wii is really easy to hack, so you can play gamecube & wii isos. Then you don't have to deal with disc swapping or the ridiculous price gouging that these systems have now.

There's always that regret. I have my Gamecube and Original Xbox to a friend after I got my 360 and was pretty much only playing that. Now I wanna lay Metroid Prime and don't have any access to it.
