Eh, I'll pass. I've had one unofficial knock off thingy. It emitted a poisonous smell when it was turned on, it came with a sharp chip with 100 games. A good chunk of which were the same game under different names, the emulation was bad and the cords for the plugs were so thin they snapped. Plus I couldn't use the zapper.
Lesson learned, I will never buy a sucky knock-off ever again!
@ThanosReXXX Thanks. I've never heard of it before. I also don't quite get it. It says it's a gaming system, but all I see are channels for Netflix and stuff like that. I assume it connects to steam?
As long as they have an awesome library and that thing is built to last for like, 30 years( and you can play retro games like its the 80s/90s,) then I could be all over it. It probably won't be anything like that though.

Cute, but too small. I see a lot of cramped, hurting hands.

Re: Atari's New Console Seems To Be Part NES Classic Mini, Part Ouya
Not sure if it'll do well, if it's just a plug n play of their old games. Especially since there are so many out there you can go and buy right now.
When was the last time Atari did something new in terms of updating old IPs or making new ones?
Anyway, I wish them luck.

This is the most imaginative racer I've ever played. I just wish it had better controls. A new iteration would be fantastic!
