I was hoping that someone would make a new console that uses carts.

Yeah, I can't wait to pay 60-70 bucks for cartridges with games that most likely can't compete with games released in the 90's

If they price it at that they have to know it's gonna flop.
They can't escape the fact that producing decent cartridges is not cheap, and I'm guessing the amount of cartridges is also not big enough to drive down the price.

Wonder how well it could emulate an Amiga?
If I read the article correctly, they're talking about performance comparable to old 16bit consoles. So it's probably not going to emulate anything ;)
(Updated) seems like the article has been updated and they're talking about FPGA+ARM, so it might have a bit more horsepower than previously stated. But still, would you really pay for amiga games on cart, that couldn't even be played on an Amiga? :D
