And to think I was getting backlashed on here when I said it would be a emulator/indie system, lol.
No way in hell this will go up against Nintendo Sony and Microsoft. Hasn't a hope tbh. Millions of these type of boxes out in the wild. And of course, Retropie.... This will die a death, fast.
The fact there was no prototype and they are asking for €350 up front? That's a mega failure right there.
The way the gaming world works now (including Nintendo) is that devs can fix bugs in their games well after release. With this, you would have to wait at least 6 months after an indie game is released on every other system and phone to get it on cart bug free (which is pretty much impossible, sure look at all nes snes Megadrive etc games with bugs, and they had loads of people testing those games before release back then). And even then you'd miss out on any DLC released after you get it on cart.
Very bad idea overall. I listened to gamester81 talking to the guy (can't think of his name) and it just sounded all bad. Pat the nes punk talked about it too in-depth and just, no.
Glad it failed. People learned with the OUYA. And in reality it's the big 3 and pc. No room for anything else sadly.

Re: Hardware Review: MiSTer FPGA - A Tantalising Glimpse Into The Future Of Retro Gaming
I've always wondered about this thing, but, my PC does the job of Saturn and Dreamcast etc just fine. I'll leave it at that.
Re: Hardware Review: Capcom Home Arcade Is The Most Ludicrous Micro-Console Yet, And We're In Love
Too big. I'll stick with my 8bitdo famicom arcade stick and arcade games on switch and PC 😁
Re: The Evercade Handheld's First Collection Of Retro-Style Indie Games Has Been Revealed
Is there a release date for this system yet? Is there any photos of it physically being used?
Re: Atari Comes Under Fire For Seemingly Knowing Very Little About Its Crowdfunded VCS Console
Whatever about crowdfunding, this is destined to be the next Ouya. It'll bomb once all the hardcore hardware folks pic one up.

Re: Coleco Chameleon's Future In Doubt Following Claims That SNES Hardware Was Used In Prototype
I wish the guy who is running this and the Read Retro mag would just let this go (can't think of his name right now, Mike something?).
It's an overall terrible idea and now disaster of mega proportions!
