The supply of Nintendo's Mini NES Classic Editions for Christmas is still unclear and people who are expecting to have it question whether Nintendo did not expect the demand or it is just trying to make artificial scarcity. Don't lose hope because there are actually alternatives to Nintendo's Mini NES Classic Editions that there is no need for those who really want it to pay big bucks on eBay trying to be one of those luckiest buyers who can purchase it on or before December 25.
Retro Freak. This is a Japanese product but players could use an adapter to play Western, English NES cartridges. It only means that players could be allowed to use their existing collections of NES titles. Nintendo's Mini NES Classic Editions offers many built-in games but players may be given limits if there are already old titles they want to play on the system. Good thing Retro Freak solves the problem as players are given the chance to play SNES, Game Boy and other old school games according to Forbes.
The RetroN 5. This is a micro console that is just like the Retro Freak but allows players to access any system of games released on Nintendo 64. However, the price is higher if players want to have the pleasure of playing Western games.
Mini SEGA Genesis. SEGA Mini Genesis is not made by SEGA. A Chinese company allows players to have the ability to enjoy Genesis cartridges for only $50 and this is a usual product that could be purchased from retailers. According to The Daily Dot, this console has been out for a while, but it did not get much attention like the Mini NES Classic Editions.
An Actual NES. The price range of an actual NES is between $75 and $125 compared to the NES Classic Editions which costs about $200. Although this item does not come with all the games, the actual NES allows players to go to old school.
An Actual, New Video Console. Instead of pinning over Nintendo's Mini NES Classic Editions, a video game console could help players enjoy and stop bathing in nostalgia.
