Without any fanfare or notice, my FlipGrip arrived today! Spent an hour playing various TATE games and can confirm it's a nicely-engineered little kit -- everything is solid and easy to work with, and the instruction card/credit card/kickstand is an extra bit of genius. All that I'd need to make it perfect would be some sort of way to keep the instructions/kickstand attached to the grip when not in use, but that's just a minor quibble on an excellent product.
Didn't get any fancy wrapping paper on my unit. >pout< ;-)
Are you putting it in on the right side? There is a little credit card icon next to the side it goes in and the other side doesn't quite sit right causing it to fall easily. It should be a pretty snug fit and is solid for me considering.How exactly do you do the credit card stand.. When. I try it just falls down
I'm guessing they either ran out or they used bubble mailers for US delivery and boxes for international.
they were asking 42.5k for this?
This is like, a weekend project. You can search it on thingiverse and there are many variants done already. (this and this looks good).
Maybe it costs that much, but the cad models were fully done already and there's no breakdown of the spending.
(before anyone gets tilted, I recognize this is a much more polished product compared to what I found on thingiverse, but they asked for 42.5k)
the kickstarter page said:We just need to raise the funds to cut the tools that will be used to mass produce Flip Grip.
I can't even process this. Why would you have such evil in your heart.
Oh yeah, you nailed it. Must be it. I was a KS backer and only got the cardboard box, but if you order it from FG it obviously ships in their packaging!I'm in the US and mine was not in the bubble mailer. Wonder if its the difference between kickstarted and ordered directly though fangamer?

GOOD.
That's probably it, I ordered through Kickstarter.I'm in the US and mine was not in the bubble mailer. Wonder if its the difference between kickstarted and ordered directly though fangamer?
I paid $15 and it's easily worth every penny. But then I'm a weirdo who likes supporting developers who make stuff I like.

As in correct lol. I came this close to clarifying but figured it would only be more confusing. Look for the little credit card symbol on the back to tell which side, above the eject button.
Oh nice, thank you.
Yeah, I wasn't a backer. Got mine yesterday. For something that's just a piece of plastic, it does exactly what you could ask of it.
Gunbird? Probably Gunbird. Maybe Danmaku Unlimited 3. But don't take my word for it, I am a grouch on the current line up.Mine arrived and now I'm looking for something besides Ikaruga to try out.
What's the next best vertical shmup?
Is that Donkey Long game the same one on the NES online?
I wish we had Cave games on Switch

And Donkey Long is the arcade game. The NES game was adjusted for non-TATE and had a level cut so yeah, worth picking up the arcade version if interested.
Start with 1. If you dig it pick up 2. 2 is probably psikyo's best game, imo, but might as well not go backwards since both are easily available for relatively cheap.

It's not about not having a wallet, it's about wanting to keep that cute instruction card nearby and not misplacing it.Wait. Why are people looking for a way to store the card on the grip itself. Who are these savages without a wallet?
The arcade version is the superior version. All others are inferior shadows.And Donkey Long is the arcade game. The NES game was adjusted for non-TATE and had a level cut so yeah, worth picking up the arcade version if interested.
Yeah, if you try to put the card/kickstand in the FlipGrip by itself, it just flops out.I figured it out. I guess I wasn't pushing the card in far enough.. I guess it slides the card between the grip and the actual system

So far I've only used it for Donkey Kong and Pinball FX3. I've got Ikaruga on standby and will definitely get more TATE games later.
First game of Medieval Madness with Flip Grip and I comfortably beat my previous high score. Liking this a lot. Currently updating Namco Museum.
It's the same three-pack with The Getaway: High Speed 2 and Junk Yard.

I would loose my mind if we got some arcade perfect Raiden on switch.
