Check it out peeps.
Some courier left a big brown box out the back yesterday afternoon, in the pouring rain.
Luckily, the guts of the package had its own plastic wrapper, so catastrophe was avoided.
Behold!
The nostalgia-tastic good news is that it's super cute, has a great interface, plays pretty close to a real 64 with hardly any lag, and has a reasonable, although not perfect repro Competition Pro joystick. Like the SNES and NES minis it also comes with display filters, which help give a CRT feel to the graphics on an LCD display.
The not so great news is the selection of games. There's a lot of guff on there. But you can load new stuff via USB, and there've been hints that this'll get easier with a coming firmware update.
