With Nintendo’s $ 80 Super NES Classic Edition in such short supply, there are going to be a lot of disappointed people this holiday season. You could turn to eBay, where the adorable, miniature Super Nintendo Entertainment System is selling for over $ 200 apiece.
But you shouldn’t do that. Who wants to pay nearly triple the price for a holiday gift? No one!
And that’s exactly why you should turn to an excellent alternative this holiday: Pixel Pals.
These little light-up displays are inexpensive, impressive-looking, and tremendously easy to use. Best of all, they’re the perfect salve for “I couldn’t get a Super NES Classic anywhere. I’m sorry!”
Don’t think they look cool in the box? Take a closer look:

Even though I was sent this one, I’d happily buy more. At just $ 14.99, it’s a steal. These are officially licensed, to boot.
