Since you probably won't be able to use a snes' (or the console specific to the games) controller with it, I really don't see the benefit of this at all, unless it was free. Especially since a lot of us still have a lot of our favorites on these consoles, in which case it would be solely for convenience. With that perspective I'd rather just use my xbox to play snes, genesis, and all of those anyway since I can't use the actual controllers to go with them -- which would be the only benefit in my opinion.
