okay but why

 

[Sakitoshi]

this looks actually good and with decent battery life.
godspeed to the devs.

 

[KingVamp]

Interesting. It could totally be successful with the indie market.

 

[DANTENDO]

okay but why

Because gamers like playing older games

 

[MeowMeowMeow]

What a innovative product, bringing the retro games back. Why no one came with that before......

 

[Scarlet]

I love the look of this, but I kinda wish the face buttons were the Nintendo layout lol. I'll never get used to A being on the bottom and Y being at the top.

 

[SuperDan]

Seems expensive for something any phone could do .... for free ... if this came out the the 90's it would have been a hit !

 

[MaxiBash]

$17 for just 1 cartridge? No thanks, I'll stick with MAME.
(although collecting some of these games is hard, so it makes some sence)

I am thinking when chinese handheld consoles catch up with HDMI output. And good thing having muli game cartridge, but wanna know how many games are included in the cart.

 

[Rabbid4240]

Looks stupid

 

[kuwanger]

On the one hand, $17 for 20 games doesn't sound bad. On the other hand, the console itself is in the same realm price range of a 2DS, and while you can't get 20 games for $17, you can get several DS/3DS game collections for relatively cheap. Or as others have said, you probably have a phone so it'd make more sense to sell a Namco Museum bundle on the Google Play store (which they don't seem to). Meanwhile, on average I imagine that you could fill out most your collection multiple built-in handheld game collections already for the same $80 system+$17*n carts. With the move towards digital and the competition from Nintendo in the handheld space, this seems like an odd throwback.

o look it's yet another one of these...

 

[swosho]

Why not publish all of those classic games on the current platforms instead

 

[warweeny]

why not just buy a psp with CFW?
Same size, but larger library.

Seems a bit pointless.

Far from pointless Because a lot of people prefer to buy official stuff

This is a dingoo? All seriousness though, if the dpad is really nice, that could carry this thing to (almost) greatness.

 

[brunocar]

"4.3” screen (the same size as a PSP)"

hmm, i dont think those 2 are compatible
