I don't think anyone is flocking tot his because it can be labeled as "official." The games aren't rereleases of classic games, it's much more in the vein of packaging older games into a proprietary cart for the sake of simply doing so. The games are licensed simply because it's Atari and Manco - they license to everybody since their products aren't really moving much money anyway. Hell, even Target sells the same type of consoles but with the games built-in already. https://www.target.com/c/retro-consoles/atari/-/N-7v2hl?Nao=0

The Everc Delta De, huh? Seems like a mouthful, but whatever.

EDD is at least a portable. Though I do notice no mention of resulotion or anything. But 80 bucks is...okay, that's a reasonable price if it is plays well. And if it's got some reasonable hardware that can be hacked. Make a decent gba replacement that way.

This thing is hideous and for what it is and for the price, that is *awful* battery life

What's with the screen ration thing, do they even know what they're doing?

There is also the legal mess with stuff like Sonic 3 music, meaning Sega can't sell that game nowadays even as a standalone game. Because while yes, they could change the music, everyone would complain.
