A GB player with the startup disc. Nice! For some reason most of them come without.
Still want to kick my own ass for not ordering an bunch of those discs when Nintendo of Europe still offered replacements for 8 Euros a piece.
I noticed! I found both of them separated for a good price so I got both. I have been looking for another job lately (kinda though in Italy) but honestly I couldn't deny myself a bit of pleasure since I had some extra money off my pocket.

That's the best way. If you buy the disc without the player and then the player alone, it's cheaper than both together.

Strangely, collectors are hoarding the discs but not the player. I brought last year the whole collection from a fellow collector, and it came with 7 discs and just one player.

I paid around 110 for both, which is not a bad price since both go for about 130+ EUR total

I had several GB Players for GCN years ago as I came across a seller who'd sell them via a listing on Amazon that was advertised for a different product. It was good while it lasted. Sold them all way back.

Personally, I love the console design of the GCN, but the Wii is just more convenient to plug and play GCN games, with GCN controller/memory card ports, and hacking it. Of course, the component cable video quality is nowhere near as good as GCN's component cable that had a chip which improved the video quality and I'm okay with that.

The Wii U can play GCN games, yet to do so it has to be modded. Nintendo could have made it the console to natively and legally play three generations in one.

RIP, We You. :P

I still get occasionally tempted by the idea of a GC&GB Player. Idk if it would be worth it tho considering I play handheld so much more than TV these days.

Latest thing to arrive in the post is a 16MB flash chip to upgrade my Game & Watch so it can play more Zelda games :toot:
If you find a good deal, I totally recommend it. It feels like your gameboy have a dock just like the switch, it's amazing!

Problem is the price nowadays. A full HDMI set up will hurt your wallet. It will be the GB Player + disk (or exploitable game or raspberry pico) + HDMI digital out + and snes controller + adapter (or the hori controller or the new clone of the hori controller).

It will cost way more than a switch, way more than a dockable Chinese handheld, so there is a decision there...

    I want a handheld gaming system with a tablet sized screen, like a 8 or10" screen, with controllers that can detach like the Switch.

    I don't see the buzz about a square screen personally. I think there will be a review on the site within a few weeks though if you are interested.

    I've put down the money on the Odin 2 Mini since I just love that Vita form factor. Loved the power of the Odin 2 but the size always put me off, this one seems exactly what I've been wanting.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I don't care about the square screen it's just nice to hold something you don't have to stretch your arms a foots length
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    All these things expecting to be super huge is overrated just run a type c cable to your TV if you want a big display or in my case screen mirror it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    On the go tho I meant, I use my 10" tablet and a Bluetooth controller for retro gaming while sitting on my porch or on long car rides sometimes. Easier on my eyes than the Switch screen.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    My point is we already have enough shit with big displays having something pocketable with up to ps2 would be fine on the go

    Ken unless the games are made for that screen size most suck on a screen that size... Having a square screen and being brighter and higher res helps but it's not a cure all, text is tiny bullets are tiny, your.... Well lol

    You can stretch to fit probably it's not all bad that they make it seem to be
