I've really enjoyed the handheld over the past year or so, particularly some of the more recent releases so I can play things like Sensible Soccer and work my way through old Dizzy games on the move (legitimately!) Kind of wish they'd gone for Amiga versions of some of these old games rather than the Megadrive ones but not sure if they're able to emulate it (or some licensing thing or somethingorother). Definitely excited to be getting my black Founder's edition of this at some point soon, though part of me isn't sure whether the white one is slightly prettier?
I have to say that I quite like the physical cartridge thing... but at the same time as I'm lucky enough to have all of the ones currently released it does become a storage annoyance - there's a lot to be said for smaller physical media!
I have one of those tiny little My Arcade machines that plays Galaga (and with a bit of tinkering a whole bunch of other games). But it's just a novelty, the small form is utterly impractical.
These things LOOK cute, but a total bugger to use - and I can't imagine having two players shoulder to shoulder on this.
Taito - PLEASE release the arcade versions of Bubble Bobble, Rainbow Islands, Parasol Stars and New Zealand Story onto current platforms. Don't bugger about with them (Rainbow Islands Revolution and the awful Wiiware version, I'm looking at you), Just pure arcade ports please!
It seems REALLY small. It's either 15 or 17 (I suspect the latter) inches across - less than a foot and a half - you'll have to be pretty good friends with someone to play 2 player. And it's a very similar selection of games to the (excellent, even with the weird drip-feeding of the 2nd lot of 20 games) Neo Geo Arcade Stick Pro. And I can use that to play other games with an arcade stick too.
Evercade comes increasingly more tempting.... it'll let me get upset all over again with failing to complete pixel perfect jumps and rolling into water/lava/slightly angry trolls.
