Retroflag Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ Plus Kit
Another retro gaming raspberry pi 3 kit but this one has a neat twist in that there are 4 different cases like a NES and SNES case. There are also a couple of different gamepads available depending on which case you select. For a retro gamer the cases look great and add a neat touch to this kit and unlike some of the retor gaming consoles you can of course have many emulators installed.

Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ Development Kit
This is a neat idea for a raspberry PI kit where you get a game hat and case and can turn your raspberry Pi 3 into a handheld console. You also get an sd card and cables. The addition of the usual retropie on the sd card with some emulators would make this a fun project to build.
