I still can't figure out why anyone cares about hacking any of these things. What's the advantage of playing unofficially supported games on an official console versus playing unofficially supported games on an unofficially supported device? This was even more puzzling with NES and SNES since they've had near-perfect emulators since the late 90s.

Both the nes and snes minis were super hot sellers,im shocked the n64 mini is still not announced They've came out in a span of 10 months,then silence for over a year. Makes zero sense.

Longevity maybe? You don't have to worry about a new version or major update to windows breaking the emulation. Plus it's easier to use the original controller on the classic.

My guess is that it's coming eventually. The same tech used for Nes/Snes classic wouldn't work as well with n64 games. Might also be trying to work out a deal with Microsoft for some of those Rare games. If so, don't hold your breath for Goldeneye. Both companies are in good terms. They may just be taking their time to do it right, unlike Sony. It seems like a no brainer, so I reckon it will be here eventually. Maybe by next holiday season?

I’d rather get a Raspberry Pi for ROM loading. I’m keeping my NES and SNES Classics stock.
