Sadly too few games and the resolution/ratio are not optimal on the Mini SNES and PS Classic. Check tutorials on youtube to expand the library.

This Atari 400 mini look nice.

The website doesn't appear to offer any way to buy anything from them. I'm scratching me head.

The only bomb was the PS Classic which used all sorts of regions for their games and had other problems which just sucked. The two Nintendos, SEGA, and even TG-16 options were all solid and a great value if you can find them at their actual MSRP. The game selections are pretty good and most people only really want to play a few games anyways... and you can load more if you care to they have a lot of storage.

They are fun, sold like crazy, reasonable at their actual asking price, and make nice "show off pieces" to put in your entertainment center.

I have the Sega Genesis Mini that comes with 40 games (but no ability to sideload anything else). Wasn't a bad purchase, even if some of the included games (e.g. Virtua Fighter 2) need the 4 button controller, while the standard package only includes the 2 button ones.
And while this one lets you sideload, I'm not sure where you would source the media from.
