It's simple dumba** bought the Jaguar mold and thought hmmm how can I make a profit out of the retro crazy, just like any other retro scalper out there. This is just sick and I hope nothing comes out of this from this idiot.
@VR32F1END Only NA NES cartridges needed to be blown in and that was due to the design of the front loading NES and honestly blowing didn't make it better.
@DESS-M-8. The reason it looks like an Atari Jaguar is because when Atari went bankrupt they sold off the molds for the Atari Jaguar casing. A company that makes dental cameras also bought the molding and made a dental camera that looks like a Jaguar too.
@AG_Awesome: The James has been working on an AVGN movie for a few years now and is centered on the Atari Landfill. People are just interested on what he has to say about this and if it will effect his movie.
@KnightRider666: You would be right, my best friend at the time had one of these. I couldnt believe the price heck I still dont believe that price for a video game system. Still the way things are going I am sure in a few gens the price will be that high.
@Damo: Yeah I know how you feel. Its no 3DS or Vita but its nice to have some of those classics on the go. I was just curious about the score. Great review.
@coalmoore: I am sorry but it gets old when people start assuming that because this place is called Nintendo Life that only Nintendo stuff can be discussed here. Am I being a jerk no. Are others being sort sighted yes. So I wonder if those people go to a Ford car lot and complain that they are a Ford dealership and why are they selling Dodge, Toyota, etc.
@RantingThespian: You know I am getting sick and tired of people like who who comment stuff like This is Nintendo Life why are you covering X system on a Nintendo fan site? If you are that dense in the world of gaming you need to go elsewhere and leave the stupid comments there. They are other video game manufactors out there than just Nintendo. But I guess if you had opened your eyes you would have seen that.
I got this system a little less than a year ago and I have to say its a good system for collectors and people who are Neo Geo enthusiasts. While it doesn't replace my 3DS as my primary handheld system its nice to have a few Neo Geo games on the go like Metal Slug or Samurai Showdown.
@Phantom_R: I dont think it was over the top honestly. You have to look at it from Capcom's eyes because of Crawfish their product missed the Holiday Season one the biggest shopping time of the year. No telling how much money they missed out on cause their product wasn't there for people to scoop up for presensts. For all we know that bonus that was offered to Crawfish originally could have come from all the extra profit that Capcom would have received during the season. Because they missed out on that who are they going to blame?
Still its sad to hear a company go under especially in this day and age. I owned a GBA but I never did play this version.
Wow going to have to look into this. I have a bunch of NES, SNES and Genesis cartridges that I like to play but I have to admit dragging out the systems and than hooking them up to the tv can be a pain just to play them for an hour or so. This options sounds a whole lot easier.

@Zombie_Barioth: It's not unheard of look at the stunt Jaquine Phoenix did a few years ago to drum up hype for his documentary.
Re: Myth Becomes Reality As Atari's E.T. Cartridges Are Unearthed In New Mexico Landfill

Re: Rare Nearly Took On The Nintendo Game Boy With Its Own "Playboy" Handheld
I dont know alot of people consider the company that made Jetpac and Rare the same. I know MS does cause that's why DK64 never came to the Wii VC.

Re: Hardware Review: Retrode 2
@Damo: Thats good know. As soon as I get some extra cash I am going to pick up one of those.
Re: Hardware Review: Retrode 2
My apologies for the double post but I was wondering how do games with enhancement chips like Star Fox run on this thing?
