Re: AYANEO's High-end Pocket S Android Handheld Now Available To Pre-Order

I wish phones still had 16:9 screens, instead of all these stupid skinny arbitrary aspect ratios. That alone makes this device (and AYN etc devices) so much better for gaming.
If this allowed 4g/5g cellular it would be killer.
Now it’s back to the old decision: make due with a controller and a powerful phone with ***** screen, or buy this and a cheap phone and have to carry around two separate devices?

Re: Japanese Second-Hand Stores Are Making Their Own Famiclones To Cope With Retro Demand

Mr_Monochrome

@LowDefAl @Aiodensghost shops and game centers in Japan have always been against photography. And still are. I think there are two main reasons. First Japan has quite strict social norms about people being in photos or videos without their permission, even in public. And second, I think it's something to do with business rules and competition. Those UFO machine arcades are pretty strict against photography too.

GEO and Bookoff etc had tons of classic consoles up until pretty recently. Especially things like 3ds, the used market really took off, and all the second hand units got snatched up to sell on ebay etc.
The prices have skyrocketed unfortunately. So it's cool that they're making and selling retro consoles (if only famicom for now)
