Yeah I mean I think it’s great, if you wanna play any of the games that your Pocket plays, just on your TV, and you maybe already have one of the supported controllers, I think it’s perfect. Especially if you don’t already have a GameCube + Gameboy Player.

However at the end of the day, that’s what it does, it let’s you play those games on your tv. So I don’t think there’s much of a β€œwow” factor, which is totally fine. I wish it was like, just a tiny bit cheaper, and had DAC support, but still I’m happy with it.

Thanks for posting!

I think the main thing I’m looking forward to are those new Pocket OS updates πŸ‘€ Kinda begging to finally get DAC support, which appears to be missing here 😭 Also I have a white Pocket so would’ve loved to have gotten a white dock too, but eh it’s okay, the black one is totally good.

Anyone here have a Duo on preorder? I passed on it too, but I’m kinda wondering if I’m gonna get fomo (probably… πŸ˜…)

Thank you for posting!!

And yes I’m very excited for this also. The 8bitdo pairing is really interesting too, I agree that very few modern joysticks have truly ever felt like a real good replacement for what the N64 had (while also overcoming the particularly unreliable joystick that the original one was…)

Can’t wait to learn more πŸ‘€
