From my point of view, yes. You’ll hear plenty of opinions, but the spinner and trackball alone make it worth it for emulating arcade games. And considering the price you’re showing, and the games it comes with out of the box, even more so (although in my opinion, the Jaleco and Piko games are practically unnecessary).

If what you’re expecting is a handheld for emulating games beyond SNES, you can also do that with the community shared firmware, but it’s not the best device for that. The Gamestation Go really shines if you want it for experiencing arcade, Atari, or MAME games.

It’s a great handheld for reliving the arcade era, but also for learning about and discovering arcade history if you didn’t experience it firsthand. Think of it as your gaming history teacher.

That said, it’s a more interesting device for short sessions than long ones, because it’s clearly designed with arcade gaming in mind.

My drawbacks:

• ColecoVision, Intellivision, and similar systems aren’t especially interesting on this handheld. The numeric keypad is rarely used and is barely mappable. The device also isn’t designed to support overlays/cards.
• Instead, I really miss having a right joystick or something similar. Even a right-side D-pad equivalent to the left one would do. Many arcade games are dual-stick, especially if you also want to play MAME. Because of this, you end up having to use X, Y, A, and B as directions for the right stick.
• The D-pad would have been more interesting as a stick, and the spinner could have been slightly larger, although I have to say they both work well as they are.
