I'd love one but let's face it it's going to fall flat on its arse isn't it?

Android phone without the use of the phone bit and adding a clunky looking joypad for $300 ? Can't see how it'd fail ...

Me too. It's an interesting concept but I can't see what market they're going after? It's getting pretty crowded with consoles, tablets, smartphones, PC's & handhelds offering tons of choice for the hardcore and softcore casual gamer, and I just can't see this competing well. The streaming from PC USP seems like a bit of  a gimmick too, I'm not sure when you would ever want to do such a thing (taking a dump?), and for a lot of PC games, playing without a keyboard and mouse is too much of a compromise to be worthwhile.

My prediction is that Tiger Electronics could come back from the dead and make more cash with their painfully shit gadgets than this will.

I remain amused that anyone bothers continuing to develop and expand the hand-held market at all, it's like they're addicted to spreading and receiving disappointment.

I never had those Tiger handhelds but I do remember playing on a mate's sonic game, and it was fucking shit.

Wow, the music is exactly as I remember. 20 odd year old memories.

You've got to remember, it was a similar time back then. These days you get High def bird flicking action on your phone for nothing, but then a months pocket money would have given you one of babies.

I'm glad I had a gameboy.
