A collector would definitely spend money on it. It has nothing to offer to the common retro gamer though.

Even if Sega came out with a new console, who cares? Traditional consoles are dead.
Sonic Adventure fans be like:
Original Ninja Gaiden trilogy is great (I hate Ninja Gaiden II's stage hazards but still).
Super Mario Kart... eh, it's pretty average compare to the kart racers that came after it. It's not worth playing beyond curiostiy or nostalgia.
There is nothing wrong with Super Mario World but for some reason it doesn't quite click with me.
Battletoads would be a fun game if knew what the fuck it wanted to be.
Original Metroid? It's kinda jank and a pain to play without a map, just play Zero Mission.
Zelda's overworld can fuck right off, I swear it's only there to sell strategy guides. Dungeons are fun but if I already dumped 50$ on the game in the 80s only to realize there is no way to get through it without a guide or a magazine I wouldn't be super jazzed.
Tetris is a timeless classic.
Atari was great until 83, I think Activision's 2600 library hasn't aged one bit. It's all downhill from there, computers were the place to be for Western titles back then.
My condolances.
In today's gaming envoriment large companies can make promise after promise, deliver on none of them and walk away like nothing happened. The worst thing that can happen is some people calling you bad names online. What makes you think advertisement would be more ethical at a time no one gave a shit about gaming?
And the crowd goes mild.
That's actually part of why I didn't enjoy Gradius and Life Force. At that point it's not a fun challenge, it's just bullshit. In Contra you can do pretty good with the starting weapon, even if it's not ideal.
There is a pretty fun metroidvania called The Weird Dream that I only know about because FitGirl repacked it. They don't seem like a threat to me.
Style, visuals, characters and the gameplay all look pretty cool. I think the question is if it's going to manage to reach a large enough audience?
