Also, I am curious about the four face buttons? What else could it possibly play that requires those?

I think this might sell for a higher price than the Super NT/Mega SG.

NGPC had some really great games, but someone else brought up the excellent point of if you play NGPC on this thing, you're missing out on the NGPC's awesome clicky joystick/controller hybrid.

I never had a GBC but playing original GB games on it was similar to the Super Game Boy? Or didn't it have a mode like that?

Nonetheless - depending on the price this looks very cool!

If it's GBA and GB I wonder how the scale the image too. Will GB be pillared like a real GBA?

The Lynx only had two face buttons. I think there are four on the device but that is for the ability to turn the system around and play left handed.

Ah, the more you know :) thanks!
I never owned one so I was just assuming from the design.

I wonder how the display will compare to a IPS GBA.
Hope we get more information later but for now I'm curious.

That depends on the game. Some GB games had special GBC modes implemented but the majority of standard GB games were displayed in green and red when played on a GBC.

So this can play GB, GBC, GBA, GameGear, NG Pocket and Atari Lynx.
Damn.
The built in music app also sounds cool.

Now now let's not make comments we can'T back out of. The Original Neo-Geo CD dpad and the Saturn Dpad are world class :p

I can't comment on the NGCD controller since I've never used one, but the NGPC controller is easily the best D-Pad-like thing I've ever used. Way better than the Saturn D-Pad.

Thinking on it a tad more, just for Nintendo stuff maybe the selling point isn't as strong as their previous systems if you already have say an AGS-101. I guess if the GB scaling is better or whatever maybe.

Wonder if it has a link cable port too.

The atari lynx has 4 main buttons -- Button 1, Button 2, Option 1, and Option 2, plus pause.

Was option 1 and option 2 used for gameplay at all?

I doubt that is what the face buttons on the analogue are prioritized for.

Looks incredible and I now regret having sold all my Game Boy (Color/Advance) games during university when I needed the money.

Yes, they are buttons in many games. Like in APB, options 1 is how you equip weapons. In Shadow of the Beast, options is how you select your inventory. In Desert Strike, option 1 is the key you hold to strafe, and option 2 is the button you press to change weapons, and pause is how you bring up your status menu. And also, in virtually every game on the system, pressing option 1 on the title screen is how you bring up the options menu.

Option 1 and option 2 are like X and Y on the SNES controller. They're full, normal buttons, and are heavily used in many lynx games.

Ah. Well I stand (sit) corrected.

Thanks.

While I'm still torn if I should get the Super NT this will be an instabuy. All GB/GBC/GBA titles and potential compatibility for other handhelds? That's one baller package.

I expect the price to be in the super nt league or maybe even more because of the screen(depending on what they use) .

The site that announced it broke embargo so I wouldn't be surprised if we saw more information when the countdown actually hits.

Don't see a link cable port. Not an issue most of the time, but I'll still need an original GBA for trading with the GC Pokemon games.

I would be interested at about €100, but if it's €300 that's a big no from me. This was gonna be my toilet system too...oh well.

/edit: I think I would tap out at higher than €150.
