SNES Classic Edition
Best Retro Consoles 2021
If you don’t need all the options that the Polymega provides, or it’s just too cost prohibitive, you could try your hand at acquiring a SNES Classic Edition from Nintendo.
The SNES Classic Edition retails for just under $80 and will give you a compact version of the classic 16-bit home console that comes pre-loaded with 21 classic games such as Super Mario World, Super Metroid, Star Fox, and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and two controllers to play with a buddy.
The only problem is going to be finding one that’s still going for retail price. It’s difficult to find SNES Classic Editions out in the wild and you might end up paying a large mark-up from a third-party seller to the point where you’re just better off buying a Polymega or just buying a Nintendo Switch and subscribing to Nintendo Switch Online for their catalog of retro games.
That said, if you can get your hands on one, it’s a great retro console.
