Why this brand is shipped worldwide
The retro gaming market in the US is enormous — GameStop maintains a huge trade-in inventory of older consoles, dedicated retro game shops exist in every major city, and the modded / RetroPie / custom-firmware scene is mature.
Top international retro asks: NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) consoles + cartridges (Super Mario Bros, The Legend of Zelda, Mega Man series), SNES (Super Nintendo) consoles + cartridges (Super Metroid, A Link to the Past, Donkey Kong Country, Chrono Trigger), N64 (Nintendo 64) consoles + cartridges (GoldenEye, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Smash Bros 64), GameCube + cartridges (Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, Melee, Metroid Prime), Sega Genesis + cartridges (Sonic series, Streets of Rage, Phantasy Star).
Why people forward this from the US
Retro consoles are increasingly collectible. Original boxes with all packaging and manuals sell for premium prices. Tested, working consoles (especially N64 and GameCube) are getting harder to find at fair pricing. Selectido sources from GameStop trade-in inventory, specialty retro shops (DKOldies, Stop N Swap, Game Trade Center in Minneapolis), and Mercari / eBay.
For the modded scene: RetroPie Raspberry Pi consoles with thousands of preloaded ROMs (gray area legally), Analogue Pocket (FPGA-based Game Boy handheld), Analogue Super Nt / Mega Sg (FPGA reproductions of SNES / Genesis), EverDrive flash carts (one cartridge plays an entire ROM library).
