Once you add the cost for those parts, and a suitable cooling solution, is there still an advantage to using a Pi instead of a small Linux PC (say, an Intel NUC)?
Looks nice but it's still not complete. You need some kind of enclosure to protect the boards when you're gaming - you don't want your hands touching circuit traces when it's in use.
And some kind of contoured plastic caps over the buttons to make them more comfortable and to make diagonal motion (two directional buttons at once) possible. Maybe a 3D printing project for this part.
