These new mini, retro consoles are adorable, and that’s the best thing they have going for them. When it comes to actual function, the NES Classic, Super NES Classic and PlayStation Classic don’t offer tangible benefits over an emulator, aside from providing a storage unit for your favorite old games.
Anecdotally, too, the NES Classic — which has been on the market the longest — doesn’t hold up consistently on the hardware side, refusing to boot up for some players after a year or so of use (i.e., sitting unplugged on a shelf in your entertainment system).
That said, the NES Classic is probably your best bet out of all the mini consoles, if only because it’s the cheapest. The NES Classic costs $60, the SNES Classic is $80 and the PlayStation Classic is $100. Contrary to most other tech toys that we cover on Engadget, the fact that these systems might crap out over time isn’t a core issue in deciding which one to buy. The real joy of these machines lies in their nostalgia factor and shrunk-down design. Did we mention how absolutely adorable they are? Because they are. Absolutely. Adorable.
Think of the Classic consoles as heartwarming decorations that also happen to play a handful of games you loved as a kid. That way, it won’t feel like a waste of $60 to $100 when they end up collecting dust in your living room. Adorable dust, that is.
