The humor in the reviews highlights the absurdity of using a large widescreen television in "tate" mode and points out the irony of pricing for arcade classics, where purchasing them separately is more expensive than buying a physical edition that includes extras.
- “The funny thing is, 'tate' mode is full-screen, but who wants to mount a large widescreen television vertically?”
- “It comes with 6 arcade classics, which you can buy separately on the eShop for $7.99. The funny thing is that all 6 games add up to $42, but the physical edition is only $20 more and you get extras.”
