## Description

Retro enthusiasts, hold onto your hats because we've got the best retro gaming case ever made for Raspberry Pi! Say hello to the NESPi by Retroflag. The NESPi is a case for the Raspberry Pi and is the ultimate gaming companion for the current Pi 3. It's is the perfect gift for any vintage gaming enthusiast thanks to the USB, Ethernet and power ports, along with POWER and RESET hardware switches.

It has been meticulously designed to invoke the nostalgic joy of retro gaming systems, but with all the modern features you'd expect. Plug in your wired USB controllers using the two exposed USB ports, and add another two, as well as Ethernet, via the hinged port cover on the top. Simply mount your Raspberry Pi board (Model B or B+, not included) inside, connect up the internal cables, and you've got a retro gaming station that looks the part.

To create a RetroPie setup, at a minimum, you'll need a [Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-3-model-b-plus.html), a [Power Supply](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-3-power-supply.html), a [controller](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi.html#category_754), and a [RetroPie micro SD card](https://core-electronics.com.au/retropie-preloaded-16gb-microsd-card-for-raspberry-pi.html).
