@PurpCat We are going to be like Brazil where the most popular consoles will be dedicated consoles with built-in Master System games.

@xianc78 and old PS4s/360s that are super popular, and emulation handhelds from China

@PurpCat Those Chinese emulation handhelds require CFW to emulate anything post-PS1 because the stock firmware is always trash. I have three of them and they all have the same problem except for one that runs an Android fork.

While not strictly the same thing as the Chinese emulation handhelds, I would also bring up the Evercade brand of consoles/handhelds as something that could potentially become popular, but they are held back by the fact that 90% of their library are re-releases that are available literally everywhere else. I wish their were more original indie titles on the thing. There are, but they come out only once in a blue moon. I thought about getting one for my brother and his daughter because he said that he will never buy any Nintendo product due to their bad business practices. I thought that the Evercade would be perfect, but the library is just too subpar in my opinion.

@xianc78 @PurpCat Evercade is not a bad idea but I have yet to see any of this shit locally. Evercade would be the perfect thing for carts to appear in random stores but they just don't

@coolboymew @PurpCat I saw their home console at a local used game store. They even had some games still in plastic wrap, so they probably got it new. I may have also saw some Super Pocket (not officially part of the Evercade brand but are compatible with the cartridges) systems being sold, but I can't remember exactly.

The official site says that GameStop and BestBuy are official distributors, but I never see them there.
