[aquaticblader]

what company made it and do they have other handhelds?

[dommiesan]

I'm not sure who made it. Yobo maybe. For other handhelds, I have an original GameBoy, a Gameboy Advance SP, and a PSP Slim.

[JerryTerrifying]

I really don't see how the sound quality would be an issue for something that has such poor sound to begin with. And the switching of the A and B button while slightly annoying for about 2 seconds shouldn't take long to get used to. I had this argument with some people abut the Mega Man Anniversary Collection for the Gamecube, the buttons were switched. Took me all of INSTANTLY to become used to it.

[dommiesan]

Sound quality was never in question with the NES... it rocked. Keep in mind the hardware was on the market in 1983. Nothing even came close. Atari was able to produce 3 notes and 1 noise generator, and this was the biggest competitor with the 2600 until Sega upped the ante a few years later with the Genesis.

And the A, B button switch is impossible to work with if you've logged over a decade of playing the games with the opposite configuration on the original set-up.

[JerryTerrifying]

The AB switch is not impossible. I've been playing games on my NES since I was like 4..that's 22 years of of being familliar with the set up. Once I hit a button and know that the button makes you jump I'll never have a problem jumping no matter where they put the button or what they call it. Maybe it's not possible for you, but for me, with over two decades of Mario experience, it is not an issue at all. It wasn't an issue for me with Mega Man and I doubt it'd be an issue for me with Mario.

[dommiesan]

Whatever. I've been gaming since 1979, which is more or less since video games existed, and it is impossible for me because I'm so accustomed to the regular way. I guess I'm just a grumpy old man. If that's the case with you and you don't mind it then buy an FC Mobile by all means. I still think it blows and it doesn't have my endorsement.

Review the Retro Mini X!

25$@ GAME BUZZ

[LuwiigiMaster]

The Sound quality would be like that because it's using a custom NES soundboard, as my cousins had a Famiclone and made the sounds play EXACTLY like that. My Famiclone played, surprisingly, properly. And both of them were Euro/Jap Super NES lookalikes, with mine called the "Super Megason IV".

@kilala435 and whete to plug it???

[TheEscapedBalloon]

How is the second version?

[darkraitrainer590]

Funny that Nintendos handhelds never had good competition,minus the gameboy and the DS.

Marry-o Brothers!

How much did it cost?

[SHIPP0DEMONS]

Theres one other problem you didnt mention. The lack of an ac adapter//car adapter plug in area. itd be nice to be able to play without having to use up so many batteries.

[PatarWolfe]

I'd buy one these if it wasn't for the a b switch. I always hold the b button down while playing Mario for constant dashing. It looks like that would be uncomfortable with the button placement on this system.
