Now one industrious maker has used the new Raspberry Pi model B+ mini PC to create a pocket sized Nintendo emulator, that has been aptly named the Pitendo and has been enclosed using a retro-styled 3D printed case.
The Pitendo Nintendo emulator is equipped with an 8GB SD card together with RetroPie software and a USB SNES Controller and is available to purchase for $119 complete with cables and controller. Or is available just as a case on its own without any of the hardware for $49.
