New Cheap NES Clone with HDMI Support
|
Via many including Amazon: Hyperkin RetroN 1 HD Gaming Console for NES (Gray). Hyperkin makes the RetroN series you have probably seen in some neighborhood video game, music, and entertainment shops but rarely in big box retailers.
What makes this particular model notable is HDMI support - this is something that's left out of a lot of the other cheaper clones. The RetroN 5 has it, but it supports numerous consoles for over $100. This one is $40. I haven't personally owned any of their devices, but as a low-end alternative to the Analogue Nt Mini or the RetroUSB AVS it may suit your needs. One wonders when or if Nintendo will make one of their own - if they're in the business of limited edition hardware, something that can run cartridges would be a real treat.

A matching t-shirt is also up for grabs. Henry Rollins has played a few of the tracks on his KCRW show, and they're good - he also indicated Mr. Svenonious had more music coming this year but didn't specify with which of his side projects. I'd love another XYZ record.
