It's pretty ugly lol. I think it might cause Meta-Carpal syndrome with those oddly placed buttons

i think this is fake.... only for these reasons.

It has everythgin that homebrewers could want built in... right there is the "too good to be true" part.

2 buttons for GB/GBA, 4 for nomad, 6 for genesis, 4 for gamegear...... YEt this has 3.. 3?? why 3??

I thinks omeone is screwing with us, or these are not the real pictures of this. I mean, the pic itself is Photoshoped and zooming in you can see that.... But the GUI look easy.

The processor is bigger then the psp and has built in storage yet is less then a psp........

To the guy who said that 400Mhz isnt enough......
a psp only has 333 and only runs at 222 most of the time yet works fine.

crypysmoker - the genesis actually had three buttons and later migrated to 6 for a few games. the key one being SF2CE that was the reason they released the pad in the first place (on a side note i still cannot believe that i pad $100 for that game on release day and now i moan about the current cost of games yet back then i was just a poor schoolkid without a job!?!?!?)

my thoughts on the machine is that it is so cheap in cost because it is cheap in manufacture. just looking at that machine could break it. the thing looks so plastic and ready to explode on one drop.
the main menu is horrid.
the three buttons on the right will give you cramp after about 40 seconds of gaming - unless you are playing tetris (maybe the reason they include Nintendo emu?).
also, i dont get why anyone would now release a handheld without the following:

2 analogue thumbsticks (one being decent for fighting games)
a touchscreen option

Not a buy for me that's for sure.

I normally read the whole article on the front page before clicking on the Comments link and boy was I enthused to read about it. It sounded, almost too good to be true, like the perfect device for people wanting more out of a handheld.

Then... I saw the pictures and my 'joys' were immediately relegated to sorrow for the poor souls who ever get gifted one of these.

Hopefully it will never grace our shores.
