Message: [QUOTE="Tetronomicon, post: 322929, member: 79263"] At this point... it's a moot point. It basically comes down to authenticity versus convenience. Do you have to play on the original consoles? With the original controllers? With the original audio/video outputs? With the original carts/discs? On a CRT TV? No. But if you absolutely feel you must then you probably will. Meanwhile, those enamored with the versatility of universal platforms (personal computers and smartphones being the obvious examples) will naturally gravitate to the more frictionless accessibility choices. It can be a pain in the ass to go from a 240P/480i composite cord to a flat screen TV. But significantly quicker to go from any device with an HDMI output to any screen with an HDMI input. You may also prefer to play with a different controller than what the console came with (I feel like my hands have outgrown the SNES controller I used to hold onto for hours at at a time). It also requires absolutely no cartridges or discs if you don't want it to (and know where to look for the right price...). A good chunk of the time I prefer the latter route while being told by others to go with the original former route. So clearly the objectively correct answer is that it comes down to subjective preference ::biggrin. [/QUOTE]
