I'd really like one to put in the living room to play with my kids instead of on the original console.

How old are your kiddos? I've had no luck with 2600/7800 with my 2 yr old kiddo. He does however like 8-16 bit games that look like cartoons. I'm thinking once he gets gameplay the 2600/7800 will be a good place to start.
Hoping it does end up with 7800 support. Albert who owns Atari Age confirmed that he has the most issues with 7800 consoles out of the entire Atari console line up. He brings multiple to conventions expecting them to act up randomly. I know I've owned 2 of 2 7800s that gave me issues.
HDMI out is obviously a huge plus with these. Hyperkin released the HDMI out NES (Retron HD) earlier this year. I didn't read the articles, on my list for this weekend, but seems the SNES is next on their list.
If they supported flash carts, in addition to original carts, I'd be all over it . I have an emu PC connected to my gameroom TV but I like the idea of easily using carts and controllers I own. That plus flash cart support would make it an all in one box for me.
I should get a RetroFreak I guess so I can do all that & also load off SD cart. Best of both worlds

Jagosaurus wrote:So far he's more into the cartoon style games. We've had fun & the most luck with these:
- TMNT Arcade II - NES
- Chip & Dale - NES
- Little Nemo Dream Master - NES
- Mickey Mouse Castle of Illusion - SMS
- TMNT Hyperstone Heist - Genesis
- Outrun - Genesis
- Food Fight - 7800
He also likes hot wheels, and he was actually able to steer the car in Genesis Outrun. I was very impressed.
Today we tried out some 7800 titles for the first time. He really liked Food Fight because you "eat ice cream!" & "throw bananas!".
