I think this misses the point. Yes, you can play SNK games on a PS5 and Switch, but the whole idea of this system is game preservation. Buying AND owning your game on a real game cartridge that will last for way over 100 years. A reproduction console that isn't just emulating these games to mimic an authentic experience as it IS the authentic experience.
Nothing against those who want the cheaper price of a download version of a classic game, people have their reasons, it's the same as people who wanted to doensize their CD and Vinyl collections and go all in on MP3.
For me, this AES+ is my gaming equivalent to vinyl making a comeback. I want the ritual of plugging that massive cart into my system and still being able to use it with my CRT TV. I want games to be reproduced officially and preserved like books and films.
