+1 for Retropie. So much fun. If you have a Raspberry Pi sitting around that you don't know what to do with, just do this. You won't regret it.
If I may add - do yourself the pleasure, and use a standard usb Xbox 360 controller, otherwise you are in for a world of pain. I've tried a NES30 controller over bluetooth and after a week of trying different configurations nearly chucked the whole thing in a bin. Also some of the emulators are too slow to be usable, even on the Rpi 2, NES and SNES work absolutely fine, but MAME, N64 and Dreamcast are more like curio…

There's no fundamental reason why the N64 can't be emulated at full speed on that hardware. The VideoCore IV blows the RDP away in fill rate, after all. It's just that the available video plugins are old and aren't optimized for mobile GPUs. Additionally, Broadcom's drivers have a tendency to stall in inconvenient places and the emulator needs to work around that as well. But once those are fixed, most of the popular N64 games run beautifully.

edit: This is a legitimate question, not an opinion.
All we need is USB 3 and it would be perfect.
I'll be picking one up. Onboard WiFi is a big deal.
Couldn't you already just plug a fairly cheap USB dongle in your rasperry pi ? I'm not sure I see what the big deal is, aside from probably making the price cheaper and freeing up a usb slot
At least, that's what I hope they're doing with it.
Anyone got a copy of the files? The FCC has pulled them down!
