The size of the console and the cords will make storage in a backpack easy. The SNES can even be a good buy for someone who owns an original SNES, but always keeps it at home. 

    More importantly, there are no cartridges to worry about. Old game cartridges cannot endure being tossed around. Therefore, having an SNES Classic with games installed will help keep SNES cartridges safe and sound.

    At this point, everything dwindles down to the question whether a dedicated game should get purchase the SNES Classic Edition or not. The answer for any true gamer should be yes, and that it’s well worth the $80.
