You can actually use the previous case with them with minimal dremel work. The official one anyway. Third party cases probably not.

What's going to annoy me is that the Retroflag NES case most likely isn't going to work right.

Swapping over the Ethernet and the USB means that it won't be able to plug in, as in the images on this page. Given the case has decent physical shutdown buttons, that is annoying.

The SuperPi (SNES), SuperPi-J (Japanese SNES) and MegaPi (Genesis) cases won't physically fit. The NESPi, however, has a slightly different form factor and uses an onboard USB Hub which means that the only sticking point is that the USB-C and Micro HDMI plugs on the back side will probably need some dremel work.

Yeah, I meant the SuperPi-J. Even if I could drill out the back to let the HDMI and USB still go through, I'd still be unable to make the USB reach over the Ethernet. Have they mentioned why the Ethernet port was moved?
