Man… I want it.
Gameboy for hipsters.
I think that your reviews resonate with me the most. I don’t know if this is a similiar age or maybe the thing that “great minds think alike” but your reviews are just spot-on. Thank you for another one. P.S. I would love to play a new version of Tempest on this.
Bruh, there are a lot of pocket arcade that is waaay cheaper and better than that
I would rather just buy the cheapest samsung phone under 100 dollars and use it as a light gamjng device.
I loved California Games! Great video 👍
overpriced, niech, retro, but just who really thinks this will last, ppl asked for this apparently, fine u buy it and pay alot for ya weird thing no one will be using or talking about in a year
Looks fun
Chinese copy in 3,2,1.….….….….
it’s mostly a gimmick
nice yellow cable
for $100 I would say what great little novelty device but for basically $200 ? it’s GTFOH. that’s nuts for what you get, simple basici grayscale games that will be mostly one and dones. When you can get a Switch Lite for the same price, this is just beyond stupid no matter how much millennials hipster attention grabbing it is. Just stupid.
Intriguing, but I’d like to see 1) a Gameboy emulator for this and 2) a case that makes it more comfortable in adult hands and maybe even includes an external light, though I wish a backlight was included.
Love the idea of a platform for indie developers to try something new.
Seems boring
Games look fun, and some interesting use for the crank. I’m interested in seeing its full capabilities and/or homebrewing
It’s a cheap Gimmick
Not the sockussy 😩
I don’t understand why people are so torn about the screen, I personally think it’s a cool design choice. Btw, they confirmed that they are working on a store! Can’t wait for mine to arrive later this year 🙂
ithink if enough people support this .. the price tag will drop soon
Cacky retro. It’ll be a short lived gadget that will soon be used as a dust-catcher more than anything…BUT in younger, smaller than adult hands, super fun.
Looks very interesting!
Where to see AND hear the games? All videos miss sound.
Make it 100 bucks, and maybe charge a bit more for games and then I’m all in. This looks oddly satisfying using that tiny crank that I’m sure it’ll break ruining the device.
tbh this thing is probably not for me. I love handhelds that make me think “wow 20–30 years ago this would have been running on a giant home console or a pc and now i got it on this tiny handheld.”
I really enjoyed this review 🙂 Thank you
