@Jhud69 5 лет назад

It depends what you want to pay for. This is pretty cool for collectors of either consoles or functioning miniatures (I hope the "Museum of Functioning Miniatures" guy sees this once he's back from hiatus!), and for sure developing a technology this small is no small feat. Most of the price probably goes to the creators rather than the cost of manufacturing or actual intellectual worth of it.

@TheRetroFuture 5 лет назад

Agreed! The price reflects the quality for sure. I feel like if it was any bigger it wouldnt be as impressive but they could have used a bigger screen.

@StinkyBlack1 5 лет назад

Viktor Chmiel yea its a novelty no doubt but it looks top notch!

@gameoverwehaveeverypixelco1258 5 лет назад

They should have put a better resolution screen. Surely there must be some at that size.

@mortimermouse3086 5 лет назад

It would be very expensive, those oled screens cost only a few dollars at retail, anything higher in resolution would cost much more.

It may well be the smallest handheld I've seen built yet, although I have seen a build using the shell from a Sega Dreamcast memory card. I don't have the dimensions on hand to compare and the page for the pocket sprite doesn't have that detail either. Crazy either way.

@mortimermouse3086 5 лет назад

I crowdfunded this, and it is actually really playable for me. I can see and read everything just fine and the buttons aren't too cramped for me. It is all part of the charm of this device, being so small. I understand its not ideal for playing games, but it's great to put on a keychain.

Idk, I've always loved the SP as a highschool student at the time. It was probably mainly the backlight, clamshell and rechargeable battery though.

The PSP I totally fell in love with (it launched with a ton of great games and they kept coming), but that SP had way more time put into it.

The video makes the screen look absolutely horrible, compared to what it actually looks like. The screen is OLED and the colors are very vibrant, which helps a LOT when dealing with such a small screen. I can play oracle of seasons and link's awakening (with a patch to adjust the text) just fine. Pokemon has even easier text to read. Even games with a lot of action like super mario bros 1-3, mega man, donkey kong land, are all perfectly playable. It's definitely worth your money.
