I'm excited to give this a shot, even if it is mediocre! Growing up as a Bebop fan, I really wanted to import a copy back in the day, but didn't have the know-how to play imports at the time.
@Guru_Larry I'm pretty sure there's localized box art for a US version online, sadly it was cancelled.

A kitbash indeed. I've always been of the mind that instead of listing your gaming inspirations outright, let your work speak for itself and have the fans make those connections instead. Nonetheless, I dig the visual style.

@HammerGalladeBro Both! It's a fan translation that emulates the GC localization as close as possible while also making little adjustments when necessary (as the text field for Japanese characters doesn't always allow the localized text to fit 1-to-1). The fan that made it really took their time with it, a true passion project.

@HammerGalladeBro You definitely got all of the examples I can think of off the cuff! I suppose with these handhelds using DS emulation, there might be a built-in sleep mode button toggle or menu function that could work in a similar fashion, but that's up to the emulation tools for sure.

Yeah, no stylus integration and smaller screens make this a hard pass. I'll stick to my actual DS/3DS hardware.
@BulkSlash Technically the system is just going into Sleep Mode for those functions, which is how the standard 2DS got around that limitation. I wouldn't expect this thing to have a sleep mode switch though...

@kantaroo Several years late here but yes there's a very nice English translation patch for the Wii port! Definitely worth a look.

Bubble Man! Still my favorite robot master bgm (next to Skull Man), and his design is solid. Trying to resist the urge to add more clutter to my shelf 😫

Not too surprised. Now let's see Earthworm Jim 4 on Switch!

If this thing is for you, more power to you. I will never prefer to play games using an iPod as a controller.

How was playing this to on Wii U? I'd consider giving it a go on the big screen if it's worth the $10-or so download.
