This is my opinion, so take it as you will;

Many here are saying specialty shops for games and systems, and frankly I just don't see the point of that. blah blah nostalgia but bottom line is that paying what the thing costs new from a reseller (no profit to the original developers of the hardware or software) is hugging the line between "Stupid" and "Stupid Hipster".

Get your Sega Controller, SNES Controller, NES Controller, N64 controller... or just a good general controller which can be used for many games. I own a few of these and I'll tell you right now that overall they feel very authentic. I have the black version of that N64 controller for example and once I start playing I can't tell the difference between it and the original.

And then get a good pack of ROMs to get you started.

There are so many advantages to emulating these systems that it's hard to decide where to begin. Simple, reliable, and you can fit whole libraries of games on a thumb drive. From right now I could be playing any NES title you can imagine in a minute, and switch to any N64 title in the same time without screwing with cords and boxes taking up space.

I respect the fact that piracy is a no-no. However this money is not going to the people who make the games. It's going to resellers who are charging you for nostalgia, so you can use unsupported equipment which can and will screw up on you (if you don't get bored with it and wonder why you dropped a few hundred bucks on games from when you were 10).
