Thought they were so interesting at the time and kinda secretly wanted one but I had my sp and the ds, and no way I was convincing my parents I needed a 3rd gba capable handheld. In 2024 and 2025 I looked hard for one in Japan but just couldn’t find one for a price I was willing to pay and the right condition. So basically I still want one but they are pretty much 300 Canadian and that’s more than I want to spend on a micro

I would go back to a flip phone I’m down. I don’t really want to replace my 6 year old iPhone 12 mini with another iPhone. I would have to pay like 1500, unless I found something used I guess. Buying a new phone is like my least favourite thing in the world. I keep my phones for as long as possible. I dunno I just hate phone culture too I guess. I think the phone looks cool lol. But yea if they’ve been doing a bunch of ai usage to market it too, that’s lame. Ya almost had me commodore

Amazing! But also, damn it I already cleared out a buddies full memory pak just for snowboard kids maybe six months ago. This would have prevented that.

The updates have been appreciated. Since they added nso 64 pad compatibility I’ve been really loving this console. I added thps 1 + 2 to my library just to get some more blue and yellow cartridges lol. I don’t plan on playing them anytime soon

Omg the extreme green is amazing, glacier too. I already got a black one and had to tell myself I didn’t need a funtastic. I’m working on the 9th so that settles that I won’t be around to get one of these either. Love my 3d and the most recent update was awesome

@eightytwostu always

@jobvd but I need to, and that is a negative. I like the 64 carts I already have

@jobvd how do I insert my cartridges?

I am hyped! Got the email my console is ready to ship. Thanks for the review, it sounds like I made the right decision in ordering one. Can finally play my Japanese copies of snowboard kids 1&2 yeehaw

Excited to receive mine when I do, there is no rush I’m flooded with games. But it’s going to be awesome to finally play my Japanese copies of snowboard kids 1 & 2

Favourite ps2 and probably rockstar game. And the movie is amazing. Would have loved a gba version

Very privileged to have been able to visit the New York store two summers ago, and the Tokyo and Osaka store this past march. New York’s pales in comparison to the Japanese store and the limited items you find in Japan, but I was over the moon to finally be able to get a NSO N64 controller. I do agree with the article that the Osaka store is better than Tokyo’s. We had also gone to Super Nintendo world so that probably plays into it as well. Japan is the best

I really like the silver in this batch, red would be next choice

The analogue pocket is incredible. I absolutely adore mine and I’ve only been playing carts so far. It’s basically a Pokémon pinball machine for me at the moment lol. I was lucky enough to get a transparent green one. I hope everyone who tries to get one this time is successful!

Sands of time was such an eye opening game for me and my brother. Solving its puzzles was amazing at the time. I enjoyed the edginess and combat of warrior within lol. The didn’t play another one till the 2008 game, and I loved that one too. The cell shading was so good, and I was kind of obsessed with cell shading at the time and then the first borderlands came out!

Still have my neon green I got for Christmas that year with Pokémon red and Kobe Bryant’s 3on3

@foodmetaphors @Razieluigi I have definitely noticed improper inputs on my pocket and I literally just got it. I started playing superstar saga on cartridge and I’ll get mild weird diagonal inputs when I’m holding just left/right up/down moving around the overworld. And then on the bros blocks (the ones that alternate between Mario n Luigi) and you’re going hard between A and B it definitely won’t register A inputs sometimes and Mario won’t jump and it messes up the flow pattern.

These things aside, I’m obsessed with the pocket and haven’t even put a memory card in it or updated it. Just playing carts. It’s nice to know the updates are happening now tho

My transparent green pocket just got delivered today and it’s incredible. Will buy one of these for my 64 collection for sure. I’ll just wait it out for a cool special edition, hopefully jungle green to match my pocket

Want one pretty bad but dunno if tomorrow’s pre order will disappear as fast as the first round. One unit to play all my gbc gba and game gear games is amazing. My gbc and game gear need to either be fixed or modded and this is just easier
