A focus has once again been placed on retro gaming thanks to devices like the SNES Classic, but the SNES Re-imagined looks to garner attention for a different reason. Ornately designed with a completely new exterior design, the gaming console is crafted from etched and laser cut acrylic components that are held in place by hardware made from anodized aluminum. As such, the components within are completely visible for all to see, which makes the unit more of a focal point rather than just a piece of equipment for playing your favorite retro game.
The SNES Re-imagined console is hand-build and compatible with all of the original SNES controllers and games, which makes it a suitable piece of equipment for grownup gamers to keep on display in their adult living room.
