Hmmm....How about sticking Minimig in something like the Amigo. I was hoping for Natami....but they look a long way off.

The "Amiga in a Joystick" reminds me of the original Amiga, that is: plug, and play over your TV. The Amigo is quite different (and doesn't come with a true old school joystick ;)).

Not to mention the Amigo is a real computer, and thus, costs a lot more than what would a mass-produced Minimig could cost.

In a nutshell, I see nostalgic people buy a 75$ "plug and play on your tv joystick" and immediately play 15 of your favorite Amiga (tm) games. On the other end, I don't see nostalgic people spending 300-500$ (what would be the price of the Amigo ?) on a full computer than runs Linux/AROS, and could run your Amiga games, but then you need to buy a joypad... It won't really feel like the original.

Diehard fans could buy the Amigo, but there are only a few of them when compared with nostalgic people... Of course, an Amiga in a joystick hasn't been built yet by some Chineese company, so you would have to contract (pay) someone to do the work... Same goes for the production, distribution,... This is more investment/risk, but it's worth a lot more.

My two cents :)
