The $50 repackaged collections of games on little mini players are basically an even swap from one nostalgia pool to another. Nintendo also shifted its collectible hardware pitch from mini consoles to handheld Game & Watch systems. The classic mini consoles are mostly gone, now, but the Switch's online game service has become a sort of substitute (N64 controller sold separately). The company re-upped the retro dose with a new collection of Nintendo 64 and Sega Genesis games in a premium subscription tier. The Nintendo Switch Online service included NES and SNES libraries, and now optional separately-sold retro controllers. Nintendo's mini consoles were never meant to last forever.

The easy take is that the Nintendo Switch and its catalog of classics ate the retro consoles up. You can still buy one, sometimes, but at some seriously jacked-up prices. Shopping for one of these little plug-and-play game systems today is a harsh reminder that they were all basically discontinued. The NES Classic, the SNES Classic, then the Genesis Mini, and even off-the-road wildcards like the PlayStation Classic and Turbografx-16 Mini. A couple of years ago little re-creations of classic game consoles were suddenly a super-hot gift. It was a sunny day a million years ago when I stood on an Amazon Treasure Truck line with work friends to buy a Super NES Classic. This story is part of Holiday Gift Guide 2021, our list of ideas, by topic, by recipient and by price, to help you discover the perfect gift.
