It’s a shame Nintendo never capitalized on making portable versions of their older systems. If Sega could do it with the Nomad, then Nintendo could have done the same thing with the SNES! Granted, they probably just wanted everyone to focus on the GameBoys. Still, it would be awesome to own an officially made portable SNES.
