    Why would I spend $250 on this when emulators are free?

      I have heard that N64 emulation is pretty imperfect. There’s also something beautiful about being able to play your original cartridges on a machine that will output them better than the original hardware for modern TVs. If I didn’t have to buy new laundry appliances right now I might actually consider it. My dryer’s gas valve is the bane of my existence

      You really don’t have to. It’s for collectors who have cartridges and want to experience them on a HDTV.
