I wish it was a bit more affordable.
The original GameBoy went for ~$90 retail when it first launched, which is worth ~$220 once you adjust for inflation from 1989. All things considered, a $250 price point is about on par with what people are willing to pay for a handheld.
Especially once you consider the fact that this is a relatively small business commissioning bespoke parts, and not the gaming powerhouse that Nintendo was when they launched the GameBoy; Nintendo was coming fresh off the massive successes of the NES and SNES. Nintendo had way more negotiating power against manufacturers, because they knew that they’d be selling hundreds of thousands of units, not just a few thousand. Manufacturers would be willing to retool entire production lines for Nintendo.
$250. Yeah that’s a bit pricey. They do look cool though.
I just grabbed a miyoo mini + the other day. It’s super nice, and much cheaper.
Onion os is so cool.
Miyoo/Anbernic present a much better option.
Ah yes, each more sold out than the last.

I wish we have more devices with a screen like this (not FPGA based).
The screen on these is super nice. Are they worth buying if you’re only going to use roms?
If you don’t get one, what device has the next nicest screen?
Great, now if they can just ship the adapter pack…
I was lucky enough to get one of the transparent red ones from the second round of limited editions, but the new red one looks gorgeous as well.
