I let them know how difficult it is to get evercade products in Australia. You can get the super pockets from Target and a couple of smaller websites online, but they don't sell cartridges at any of the major local retailers (JB Hi Fi or EB Games) so hardly anyone has heard of them.
I also let them know it'd be good if they reprinted some of their older carts so people new to the ecosystem would have a decent range of games to play, since finding carts to buy from over a year or two ago is hard as they're either out of stock, out of print, overpriced by resellers or worse overpriced second hand.
I also thought it'd be cool if you could play the games from the super pockets on the VS systems. Maybe through a USB connection or by placing the super pocket into a dock that's connected to the VS system.
I would've considered getting one of these if I hadn't already got the version with the seperate number pad. I do kinda like having the seperate num pad version because it has the calculator along the top.

My 5 would be:
1. Super Smash Bros Melee
2. Star Wars Rogue Squadron 2 Rogue Leader
3. Tales of Symphonia
4. Metal Gear Solid the Twin Snakes
5. Pikmin
Ooh I was hoping someone would do this. I like that it appears to be full size, but it might also be cool if they made a mini like the Neogeo Mini or the Sega Astro City Mini where you can play on the console's screen or on a TV.
The Shenmue one looked nice. It looks like what I'd expect from a remake/remaster.
The Mario one was trippy, kind of reminds me of when a group of artists collab on a video using different art styles.
The wooly Mario head was cute, it just needs a moustache. I thought it was interesting how it interpreted the stages differently, like the lava world being Jam, and outside Peach's Castle being sandy.
Overall I didn't hate it but it definitely needs a lot of work.
@Stocksy Yeah I agree. If they want to one up him they should go for later kill screens or the rollback after 255 instead of the earlier/easier kill screen. They'll still never be the first person to get the break screen so the kid's got that.

Re: Retro Fighters' PlayStation 'Defender' Controller Just Got An Impressive Upgrade
Wow! These look a lot better in the updated post. If I pick one up I'll probably go for the transparent red.

Re: Evercade's First Neo Geo Products Are A Handheld And Game Collection Cartridge
I got the Limited Edition one because the regular edition was sold out.
Re: Data East Super Pocket Comes Pre-Loaded With 18 Arcade Classics
I love the Blue and Orange! (Reminds me of Donkey Kong Jr.)
But I like the games on the Neo Geo one better so I think I'll get that one.
Re: Company Behind The X68000 Z Range Wants To Know If Global Players Will Buy Them
It would need an english os and english translations for the games.

The first part sounds pretty bad but the later part sounds nice

Re: Sega's Astro City Mini Is Getting A Limited Run Games Release In The US
I've got the japanese one at home somewhere, so if it's just an english box with the same machine inside then I'll skip this one.
Re: Sega's Astro City Mini Is Getting A Limited Run Games Release In The US
Are the games in english?
