:what-the-hell:

Why even make something like this? It's way too small to be genuinely usable, and it'd be one thing if this was 15 bucks and only played built-in Chinese NES romhacks but it's actually got a decent build quality and can even play some of the PS1 library.

For 10 dollars less you can get a device that's 3 times bigger, still pocketable and actually comfortable to play on.

    There are tens of thousands of psychotic "collectors" who will buy every color, put them on a shelf, have them all display different games in the same series, take a picture, and post on reddit for 213 karma. Then never touch them again. It's a Chinese company taking westerner's money, so I'm like :shrug-outta-hecks:

      It's weird people would do that for these Chinese emulator things, they don't have the same nostalgia/prestige/brand factor "real" consoles have.

        It's the bazinga factor of being able to play Pokemon on something the size of a thumb. There's a whole ecosystem of paid influencers shilling every one of these things.
