My kids are pre teens and pretty much played the NES for a day and a half before shelving it.
The SNES classic is whole, other animal.
They both have a solid top 5 and play it non stop.
Easily worth the 80 bucks.
Usually, I pay 50-60 bucks for a single game and maybe one person in the household will play it for a week and that's it.
In fact, when I was a preteen, I played Street Fighter and Super Mario World for months. I would have to wait until Christmas or a birthday for a couple more games. I would've killed for 30 games as a single gift.

I really don't see a market for this... except nerds who buy anything... the biggest problem is the fact it doesn't play cartridges... I have a collection of hundreds of cartridges and wouldn't mind a NES/SNES with modern support that accepted cartridges. Then it might actually be worth buying.

The way it's packaged it forces kids to experiment with genres and titles they'd usually ignore.
If I had to buy cartridges my kids would be stuck with four or five and they might not even like them.
Instead, they have 30 games to choose from and they're enjoying games I didn't expect.
It's pretty cool, actually.
I just can't help but see these things as gimmicks looking to cash in on what appears to be a surge in interest in retro computing judging by the Atari box but honestly it misses the point. You don't think it would be more appealing if it could play both built-in games and carts?
I've seen this at my local used game shop. I may give it a look, because my main problem with the SNES Classic ( and NES Classic ) is that it's a close ended system that can't be expanded/upgraded with new games.
Nintendo should have just made a retro mini console on which you could have bought and downloaded all their Virtual Console games.
or else just bring VC to the Switch.
