A pretty poor april fool joke. I saw through it right away. Can't remember what GBATemp did last year, but that was also lame.

Interesting how: the domain is still registered to France, new moderators initials spell APRIL, and that the advert on the front page is entitled 'CNET Advert'...fishy.

I'm pretty sure it's a joke. A nice joke, in fact. But, what annoys me is when a prank gets busted and the prankster still tries to shove it down your throat.

This is pretty obvious. If you've paid attention over the past, this is something that was nurtured by Shaun and Costello, and they vowed never to 'sell out' I think the whole concept of this is poking fun at some other sites.

Besides, why would C|Net be partnered with a site that predominantly updates it's users on ROM releases, hacks and borderline piracy issues? That's bad for business.

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

    @BigOnYa i was legitimately trying to scratch my leg, this is reminding me of that cylinder post
  • Scarlet @ Scarlet:
    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
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    You can stretch to fit probably it's not all bad that they make it seem to be
