@mariteaux Hear hear!

If you use somebody else's property, you are willingly putting yourself in their hands.

Looks like a Herman Miller price for a chair made in China.

If anybody wonders why Nintendo never did this, it is because clear plastics are always, always more fragile and brittle than opaque plastics, making them particularly unsuitable for the DS/3DS form factor.

@TV4Fun
How did you know I was referring to you?

Anybody who admits to using this garbage loses me instantly and forever.

Need that spinner!

I can't help but wonder how many people are going to buy a book about Ridge Racer? And as a copyright professional, I also wonder if startups like this are aware of how much time and money they're going to spend on rights clearances (or how much they're risking if they don't think they need to do it).

Anybody who buys this truly deserves to own it.

Yeah, if these were made with latex or rubber, there's no way they could have survived as anything other than gooey blobs of literally tar and feathers.

I don't think these things ever even registered as a blip on the radar in the United States.

Didn't their design partner, Teenage Engineering, produce some kind of flop "ai assistant" type of device?

"Nothing in the world exists in a vacuum. There's nothing wrong with discussing how global politics impacts our everyday lives. That's healthy conversation."*

*Unless it has something to do with Donald Trump, in which case comments will be disabled."

I'll pass, thanks!

Of all the games that doesn't need a "next gen facelift".

New gimmicky form factors in a desperate attempt to stand out in a wildly oversaturated market! Yay!

"I know this is wrong but I'm going to do it anyway." Such a brave soldier!

Definitely a no thanks from me!

I wonder if he took a look at the NES Arkanoid controller to figure it out?

All those Chupa Chups logos are the closest we'll ever come to having a Salvador Dalí video game (he designed their logo).

Garbage company.

Off topic but it seems kind of strange that Time Extension isn't covering John Hancock getting rid of his huge collection? Is it because he's American? Or because some people have big issues with him? Seems like something this website would cover.

Love the Super Pocket, but that is a very small screen for Banjo! I have the Taito one, and it's kind of great, but the screen is just too small for a lot of the games.

Kind of a baffling device. Is the knob also a joystick? If so, it doesn't look fun to use. Also: "knob" isn't nearly as hilarious to Americans as it is for British people.

Oh no, Sonic the Hedgehog 1 and 2 are such rare, hard to find games!

LMAO, so many people are going to strenuously insist that the Virtual Boy is great and they love it. And then maybe a month later it won't be spoken of again.

Place looks wonderful, and if they've been open 8 years, they've obviously figured out what so many other "in business for two years, max" arcades didn't. I wonder what the secret sauce is?

Does it really play from the cartridge or does it just rip the ROM and then emulate it?

"...already been talked about to death" is extremely accurate.

@KayFiOS
Easily explained! transparent plastics are always more fragile and brittle than opaque ones.

Good for them, but playing Doom on an Evercade doesn't seem like a great way to play it.

The copyright professional in me says, "Wow, clearing all the rights must have cost a fortune," but the realistic side of me knows that they didn't clear anything and are using the "cross your fingers" technique, LOL.

"This is more than a watch"

Well, no, it isn't.

I found one of these in a sidewalk "free, please take" cardboard box on the sidewalk (big city living!). It's kind of great but the screens are so tiny. I'm ambivalent about it. Great idea for parents of young children, as the broken hinge issue is totally eliminated.

@MontyMole Oh yeah, totally! I was not trying to excuse them. I have to warn people not to do similar things every single day!

@ihaveallthecoins "No one seems to learn this lesson."
Well, you hit the nail on the head. Nobody learns this lesson because copyright and IP laws are generally only taught to lawyers. You can't "learn the lesson" if you aren't taught the lesson! Since we are all swimming in a sea of copyrighted materials, these "lessons" should be taught to all students. I feel bad for people who stumble into problems like this due to total ignorance of how IP laws work. There needs to be broader education on the topic. EDIT: And in case you're wondering, yes, I work extensively with copyright issues at a major art museum.

These graphics don't look like an improvement at all. Glad Arcade Archives put out the great arcade version already.

Looks like fun but, all in all, it is just another rom hack.

Oh good, at last I can play Mappy.

I have to admit that I was a skeptic about this endeavor, but this sounds really impressive.

So glad they're releasing this obscure, little-known and hard to find game.

Ooh, I kind of love janky 16-bit pinball! I'll probably get this.

OK, so we've reached the level of handheld device saturation that they're releasing parodies now.

Love seeing the low-poly rendering of Van Gogh's "Sorrowing Old Man".

So now he's even lying about his own name, LOL.

@Eocene84 I work extensively with copyright law, and I can easily answer your question: it is because people do not understand copyright law... even a little tiny bit.

Gives stern look to child

"We already have Mega Man at home."

@nocdaes Technically true, but still done as a performative "not enough for everybody" hype drop.

I wish Analogue was a company that manufactures a product, and then you order it from their website, and then a week later you receive it in the mail. You know, like normal companies that manufacture things.
