Considering how cheap Raspberry Pis are I'm planning on just making my own SNES classic, one with a Bluetooth controller and ability to add more roms. Not sure how I'll do a case, but I'm sure this'll be hundreds cheaper than buying a fucking official one.

I'm pretty sure even getting it built by someone else is cheaper than getting the official thing, and exponentially more useful.

Use some mounting hardware and some plexi/acrylic. Easy really.

How much cheaper would it be to have every single NES game installed on a device with a shell shaped like the console?

I imagine it would be the same price as the Mini-NES at most.

[QUOTE=Teddybeer;52462677]Do scalping prices count? Never went indepth on it but you wouldn't be more off than the mini. The hard part is probably finding a broken console that goes for dirt cheap.[/QUOTE]
I got a working NES, two controllers, and the zapper for free at the township electronics recycling collection thing. It had Mario Bros/Duck Hunt in it and FF1 was laying next to it.
