Looks cool with 4k upscaling support. We’ll have to see about price, since we have the Mister and the upcoming Mars to compare it to.

    Analogues consoles complement a mister, if you want a system that will play your games, and look good on your big flat screen tv then analogue do very very well

    if you want more than that, sure a mister works but it’s a lot more effort and work, especially if you are not familiar with linux.

    different products for different kinds of people.

      There’s a decent amount of mister kit sites that sell a complete set up. As far as having to know Linux I’m not sure it’s any more than you would for transferring roms to a sd card. Another thing mister has going for it is you can buy these preassembled “kits” today. Every time I get my eyes set on an Analogue system they sell out immediately and go onto eBay for much higher prices. Misteraddons today I can buy a complete set up (with a sd card pre-flashed) for ~$550.

      I would be 100% all about analogue if I could buy a system. That being said maybe it’s just because I am interested in NES/SNES so those are the higher demand systems. I have a Mister but actually play more on my modded NES.

      Like you said different products for different folks but I don’t think the barrier to entry for mister is very high anymore.

      We’ll see how Mars compares when that is released. The UI looks a lot more polished compared to the Mister.

      I will argue most people buying these consoles will eventually want to play more than just original carts, which means more setup either via a jailbreak or everdrive. I’d say both of those are not any more difficult to set up than a prebuilt Mister.
