Who in the world wants these so badly? I'm excited to get one... but it's not like I'm in a huge rush to play 30 year old games... If I really wanted to play them right now, I could download an emulator.

Cool points maybe? Those could have tangible value for some people. Like streamers for instance.

You can't stream the output of an emulator?

You can, but you don't get the cool points for showing off the hyped up and hard to find product.

If you had a Wii or Wii U then you can even buy 350+ games on their virtual console.
