Isn't copying the greatest form of flattery? I can understand one wanting to replicate an iconic look from a game, movie etc in their past.

As for the tracing, I have no personal problem with it, but I can understand an artist getting upset by it. Not everyone can produce brilliant works of art without needing some reference. And Kai's games certainly have a measure of amateurishness or derivativeness in them. We're talking about a developer whose first game basically starred Solid Snake and their latest--Blade Runner. What does one expect?

Couldn't they just load 50 Atari games on a DVD and release that? I feel Playmaji could get away with that instead of putting out more hardware. Atari 2600 game carts always look like a gamble whether they would be working or not whenever I see a box of them out in the wild....
Now an Atari jaguar module would be more interesting.

If they do an Atari, Colecovision etc module, they should so release a Vectrex filter.

Well, I guess it's a good sign they haven't opened up preorders for this right away; otherwise, I would question their motives in announcing this: meaning do they need more preorder money to fulfill all original orders?

@nessisonett The other modules don't support everdrives. So I don't see why this would be any different.

I can't see this being popular with retro gamers as whenever the Polymega is mentioned on social media, it is downvoted to oblivion.

If it's "Nintendo-like" why not just get a Nintendo then? I guess Nintendolife felt the need to pump up another retro console now that the Polymega is most definitely not coming out.

Hopefully enough people ask for refunds to penalize this bad behavior. Payment should be when shipped. Especially this product.

The Polymega has me more interested in retro gaming. Gotta thank Playmaji for that, but I'll be buying from Analogue.

They should refund everyone, if the consumer wishes, and allow them an option to put down a $100 deposit, like for the Intellivision Amico. If and when the Polymega ships then Playmaji can ask for the full amount.

Why would Walmart need to communicate the status of the project to Playmaji?--it's Playmaji's project.

I want one. The problem is I own most of the mini consoles already and have played them to death. It would be nice to upgrade, but unless I can say hook up my turbografx 16 mini and transfer the roms I already own, it's a deal breaker for me.

Oh, that and I noticed Micro Mages wasn't in the data base.

@Woomy_NNYes @FX102A They curate the comments. There's a bit of a cult surrounding the Amico.

I see no value in this. I would have been interested if this was a pixel art/indie box, but the mobile feel of a lot of these titles doesn't do it for me. The low cost doesn't help either as the budgetness just means none of these games are "must buy." Would rather have more expensive titles if that meant I was getting higher quality games.

Overall it's much better just to save your money for something more worthwhile.

The console itself is really not necessary. With the $250 US buy-in Amico is going to face reluctance with consumers. There's a kickstarter going right now that let's one stream their mobile games from their phone. Why not do something like that?
