Thanks and I was lucky enough to get mine in that initial price drop after it released which worked out pretty well. If I didn't buy it then I'd be priced out for sure, especially with how much they're going for now.
@@TooManyHandhelds yeah, I saw it for an absurdly low price myself, but I was living in a tiny house and had to stop buying things for a while. In retrospect, I should’ve bought the damn thing and just put it in storage temporarily, haha! 😂
Part of me would still love to get one of these, but then I'm immediately reminded about how expensive this thing is. Despite that, I still like it and I'm pretty sure we're not going to see a new portable from SNK for a long time.
Man, I remember when this came out I wanted it so bad, but then saw it getting trashed in reviews. I still regret not picking one up for cheap about a year after release, now they are crazy
That's around when I picked mine up. I was also surprised at how people criticized the clicky thumbstick on this, then later criticized the Neo Geo mini for not having a clicky stick.
Thanks, and I feel the same way. I think about selling it every once in a while but I just can't bring myself to do it. Also the magic memory card really helps to keep it fresh.
It's a nice form factor for a breakout box. My issue with it is the hdmi output. It's brutal and NOT accurate. As a handheld it's not bad but the battery life is brutal. And yes I own one, I was one of the foolish early adopters.
I came so close to buying one of these when they launched, but did not pull the trigger. Still kicking myself to this day. Nice work on this vid!

One of my favourite videos by this channel.

@@TooManyHandhelds lol, many such cases
Great Video Flurry. I WISH I never sold mine 😥 they have gone up in value so much that I can't afford to buy it again

In my opinion it is the best of the rehashed retro classic systems due to the fact that you can dock or go portable.
Absolutely. This thing was way ahead of its time and even with its flaws there was a lot of love and attention to detail that went into this system.
