Best reason I've heard for the device's appeal is mainly to go after the older crowd who don't really play video games anymore but still have memories of playing NES games as a kid. Price-wise, the games are cheaper than on the Virtual Console and elsewhere while quality wise, its supposedly the best for repro style consoles.

That is the biggest problem with it even though at least one third party company now sells extension cords/adapters for it. Feels like they wanted something of the Famicom to play a role in its design and took the worst aspect for it.
