The $40 console that plays every NES and SNES game ever is so much better than those classic consoles

Classic consoles make up a trend that just doesn’t seem to want to go away. It started with the NES Classic Edition console and things took off from there. These little retro video game consoles are still sold out all over the place, but most people probably don’t realize that there are much better options out there. Instead of spending $100 on a mini classic console, check out the Hyperkin RetroN 2 Gaming Console for SNES/NES. It plays every single NES and SNES game cartridge that has even been made instead of just a handful of preinstalled games, and it costs less than half as much as a mini retro console.
