I very much have wanted one of these to carry around for quick gaming fixes, but have struggled to justify the $219 for one. Especially when I have seen mixed reviews of the quality, hard to tell if vocal minority or it’s just a lucky draw if you get a good one or not. Anyone had one for a while and still loving it?
when a steamdeck is 300 dollars that price soynds pretty bad
That’s certainly part of it, my steam deck is in use most days and easily one of my best video game purchases.
I love mine, but I'm about to send it in for my second replacement. Definitely not worth the price, BUT it's definitely not the kind of product meant for people who don't already have a steam deck, switch, or some other kind of emulation device. It's a fun, nostalgic novelty, and the crank is a VERY SATISFYING and functional gimmick. If you've got disposable income and want to partially recreate that feeling of riding in the backseat with a Gameboy with no backlight and no worm light, and you like the idea of the crank-based games or even just some of the classic games that have been developed for it, then it might be worth it. But they should definitely lower the price lol
Is there a fishing game? Please tell me there is a fishing game for this thing
There's a few actually lol, Reelistic Fishing is one
I'll be honest, it's a shelf sitter for me. Maybe it's because I don't care for platformers.
Appreciate you sharing that. While I do enjoy platformers I worry the entire thing is a novelty that I’d stop carrying after a few weeks.
