buy a Mario Game and Watch. Extremely comfy form factor, respectable battery life, and so niche IGN won't even cover it. They are respectable to play in public, with an almost art deco aesthetic.

Does /vr/ let me down such that you can't appreciate we got Mario 2, in it's original 8bit, ported at last? I detect no input lag and have been at it for hours. Now that it's hacked you can expect to emulate all your oldies soon enough.

I'm not thrilled about the serial bar across the back. Just rip it off unless you intend to pawn it. In terms of fashion, I must say it's quite glorious. At a tier of effay competing with the Game Boy Micro. This is the device you would expect John Galt to pull out his Burberry.

Exactly as advertized: three games and a clock. No bells and whistles. Pretty much a minimalist emulator save for a hidden puzzle within the clock screen.

okay, anyone have one of these? opinions? how are they? I ordered a while back because I've always wanted a pocket-emulation-machine, and for the price I hoped this would be it, but it hasn't shipped yet.

otherwise, what's some good fun engaging retro games to play on it, up through Playstation/Dreamcast era, my first thought is advance wars 2

Someone had it opened up and found that it's a STM32 with 1Mbit on-chip ROM,8Mbit SPI flash and 8Mbit on-chip RAM.

They even decrypted the SPI flash and replaced the SMB1 ROM.

The USB is not connected to CPU at all and one must program the SPI flash directly.

Some of them are decent, and you could use a USB OTG connector and a phone clip for your USB gamepad if that's not good enough. Gamepad quality isn't my primary concern when it comes to handheld gaming, personally. It's something I do to kill time, not to play competitively. I have a laptop for that purpose.

I dont either but the whole point is that you can skip on buying and hacking say, a 3DS or a Vita and have much better results.

>> No.7085157

>>7085092
Their outdated hardware and high price relative to chinese/refurbished phones are just not worth it though. They're still over $200. I wouldn't buy either unless I wanted to play 3ds or vita games. Also with bluetooth or OTG, you'd actually have more freedom in choosing your gamepad. Added to that, I'm pretty damn sure 3DS and vitas won't end up in landfills, unlike phones. Repurposing old phones reduces e-waste.

I'm so sick if second analogue sticks on handhelds that cannot handle PS2, it really negatively impacts your ability to use the face buttons. I took it out of my rg350 and it's way better, now.

How sustainable is Ninty's business model? Obviously there will always be child gamers. But apart from that they seem to depend on insane products like the OP, or "new" weak consoles with gimmicks for the most manchild and retrogressive gamers conceivable. They've almost completely abandoned the vanguard of gaming, there was that many years developed AAA Zelda (BOTW) and they patronise PlatinumGames still (delaying their inevitable absorption into the general market and raising the melee standard) but otherwise nothing. The whole platform seems to require customer loyalty from the most frivolous of minds (children and seniles). Seems risky, but they're pulling it off.

You mean to tell me I can purchase this Collectible handheld Nintendo system that includes playable versions of the original Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, a Mario version of Game & Watch: Ball, and more? With a Classic-style + Control Pad that gives me the original controls I remember from the 1980s I can use to stomp Goombas and dive down warp pipes! It also includes an Old-school two-player style lets you pass the system to a friend so everyone gets their shot at saving Princess Peach and the Mushroom Kingdom, and a Digital clock which features Mario-inspired surprises across 35 animations!

Wow! I need to respect myself by purchasing this amazing, never-before-seen product!
