Retro Handheld Game Console with 40 Authorizated Built-in Piko Games, Support GBA Cartridge-Blue

This thing has a lot of potential but currently it doesn't even support gb or gbc carts. Unable to read sd cards with games added. Poor screen that is comparable to the GB300 (15 dollar handheld). The L and R buttons are located on the front of the device. Limited menu options. No brightness adjustment.... I do hope they make a better version though. It DOES play GBA cartridges.Edit: I pretty much cannot play this thing because the screen is so terrible. I feel like it is damaging to the eyes. Reduced to 1 star rating.

First off, the bulletpoints for this are a lie. This only supports Game Boy Advance games, not Game Boy or Game Boy Color. It also claims to support Piko cartridges but those don't exist yet. Also, it works by dumping the roms, so flash carts and games with special hardware like Wario Ware Twisted won't work. I would be very very cautious about using games with save data. And by cautious I mean I wouldn't do it. Not even once.The bulletpoints also mention games like Smashing Drive, Big Karnak, and Mighty Warriors. Piko does own them but they're nowhere to be found here.So, what IS here? Well, a mix of good and bad.The screen is atrocious. It doesn't have adjustable brightness and the viewing angle is terrible, so no matter what you do many games are slightly unpleasant to look at. Turning down the brightness on Game Boy Advance games that support it makes the screen a lot more tolerable, but that's only a handful of games.Hilariously, the L and R buttons are found on the front of the handheld, which is great for pinball games and nothing else. The d pad is weirdly flat and dead (but at least it has a center pivot so you can't press opposite directions at the same time) and the buttons are a little clicky. But everything works okay on that front. Sound is good and decently loud, at least through the speaker.The included game list is a mix of great games, good games, okay games, and terrible games.

My son and husband loves playing with the retro handheld game console. I haven’t learned how to use it because I play wordscapes on my phone and I played pinball as a teen and I played video games, but I want my husband to teach me how to use it. It looks like a lot of fun. My family loves to play fun games. The console is blue, our favorite color, and it’s small and lightweight and easy to carry in our backpack.

Initially fun but now won’t charge
