It’s because the C64 is having a Renaissance moment. The Rebirth of Commodore as a company that is finally doing something worthwhile with the Brand Name, C64 Ultimate, retro nostalgic YouTubers doing C64 repairs, etc.

I probably first started playing the C64 a year or two ago. I now own two and getting the ultimate

I want one that does 3DS as well. I mean, 2D screens are fine but i wish the 3DS emulators and chips were more efficient and powerful, respectively.
