Kids are not buying their products, it's adults with expendable income and on nostalgia trips, as well as "collectors" and those otherwise thirsty for retro gaming nerd cred points, and scalpers hoping to flip them on eBay at some point. But people with a good head over their shoulders, who should have the capacity to be vaguely aware of other options, shouldn't even give them the time of day. I'll grant a single exception for the Pocket itself since it hasn't come out yet, and offers something unique for now.
Think about their by far best product so far, the NT Mini. At the time it was truly revolutionary and unmatched by anything else on the market, and the extra cores on the JB firmware made it even more of a wonder. But now we have MiSTer with cores and features already superior (SNES being a partial exception, for now), both growing further. So now its only value is as a sort of collector's trophy (and you can see it in the rush to dump a lot of them on eBay recently after Analogue "agreed" to do another run after a petition met its milestone lol).
NGL, it also irks me to know they monopolize a talent like Kevtris. Sure, if it weren't for their employment perhaps he wouldn't be doing anything in FPGA gaming at all, but I can't help wondering what if...

lol no, also, you sound poor.
sorry guys mister is still trash, i know you really want to believe it isn't.... like people who really want to believe android is better than iphone.
just because kevtris core has issues with some japanese only love-text adventure game that nobody has ever played or will ever play, doesnt mean its flawed. it just means you're seeing the glass as 1/10,000th empty.
