Nomad 2?

 

[Punished Miku]

I already had a Nomad. Really not that worth it.

Looks good ! but we have a tons of other options to play the genesis

I like that it allows you to hook up controllers to its dock. That's pretty cool. Seems like an odd device to make, though.

Better get an analogue pocket for the price…

Wish people could do better with the d-pad. Must be an american thing don't caring about d-pads...

Anyway, looks rather bulky. Not sure it would be confortable to play with a cart on it. Willing to believe that it doesn't run good at all judging later experiences.

Speaking as a complete mark ass mark for stuff like this, I personally don't see the appeal.

If you cannot get me to buy your niche product (one that plays carts you cannot find for anything close to a decent price any more) who is going to buy this?

Orrrrrrrrr

It is such an unwanted product that it will be rare....I better get it.

The machine can toggle between 16:9​

Meh, you can get basically the same--and better--form factor with an Anbernic RG-ARC and not have to deal with the costs or hassle of aging physical carts.

We had that in 1995. This thing probably only has a better battery life and worse everything else. Is it even a clone system or just emulation + cartridge slot? Looks like something that should be called Superwitch and sold to poor ignorant grandmas a la PolyStations back in the day or something.

I mean, looks wise it resembles the best d-pad ever made, as on Sega Saturn classic gamepads. I'm sure it's gonna be trash like the rest of the product, just saying how it looks which is all we have to go on. And it does look a bit different, non curved edges, cheap plastic etc, but the internals matter.

It doesn't mean this could end being a good thing though. Could be pretty much worse.

Yep, for 16bit emulation plus some 2D 32bit PS1 and Saturn games, this would be great. Wish it had a bit bigger screen though.

I would rather get this, just became of the 4:3 screen.

 

[AREYOUOKAY?]

I’d actually like a modern Game Gear instead. No that mini version doesn’t count.
