Done! Thank you
Postie just delivered the two I ordered, impressed with how quick they arrived here in Scotland. The packaging and quality of the actual grips are amazing and now I have so many great games to play as they were intended. Gonna start with Dragon Blaze and Ikaruga, what a treat!
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)
It's also pretty crazy that Raiden 1&2 still haven't gotten another modern home release in over 20 years since Raiden Project on PS1, wonder what's up with that.
Same with mine.Christ, why for over a week my tracked package is still in LA waiting acceptance, when it said its accepted...
I think the one thing that kinda stinks is that it makes me realize how few games are playable this way. Tempted to get the SNK compilation.
Yeah, I'll likely grab Namco the next time it goes on sale. Unfortunately, of all the retro compilations on Switch, I think this one is the worst value.My favorite is Namco Arcade because the whole GUI rotates. Ikaruga is the same way and is a stand out game for the grip. The new Atari collection's auto rotate is nice as well.
Agreed, it's insanely overpriced. Picked it up last night and it's fine — the games are classic and it's a fun time with nice menus, but it should be USD 20 at the very most, especially considering that there are other compilations for its retail price that contain many, many more games.Yeah, I'll likely grab Namco the next time it goes on sale.

I just hold home once it's in the slot and turn the volume down/up.The only thing I don't like about it is that when I slide the switch in it hits the volume buttons and raises it all the way up or down. Then I don't have access to the buttons without pulling it out, which causes it to hit the buttons and adjust it again.
Other than that it works really well, and feels super solid. They didn't cheap out on the plastic at all.
I'm confused (not unusual). Why would it? Aren't these just 2600 games which would have been 4:3 anyway?Yo, are you positive the Atari collection auto-rotates in the correct direction? I've been trying to find confirmation of that.
It's a bunch of arcade games, too: https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/atari-flashback-classics-switchI'm confused (not unusual). Why would it? Aren't these just 2600 games which would have been 4:3 anyway?
Oh, cool. It just looked like compilation of 2600 games. Have to keep an eye on it.It's a bunch of arcade games, too: https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/atari-flashback-classics-switch
Auto-rotation is the BEST.
Now I have to figure out how many games on here (out of 150!) make effective use of this.

Yeah, were a few here to seem to have this problem. Iv email fangamer about it, not answer yet...Tracking says my package has been sitting in LA for a week too. :-(
A couple of friends (we're all from Italy, I have no idea if this is a coincidence or not) have the same issue. Guess I will try to contact fangamer as well...Yeah, were a few here to seem to have this problem. Iv email fangamer about it, not answer yet...
How is the Atari collection? I bought one of them for the PS4 a couple years back and was vaguely dissatisfied, but 150 games (or more likely, variants?) of Atari classic games is kind of hard for me to pass by.Yup, I have a physical version of the game.
You can have it either prompt you before you play compatible arcade games or you can set it to do it automatically every time. It only rotates one way which is luckily the way that works with the grip.
Sorry for the double post but I wanted to give an update.Yeah, were a few here to seem to have this problem. Iv email fangamer about it, not answer yet...
Ohhh interesting! Ill cross my finger and hope to see it arrive by next week!S
Sorry for the double post but I wanted to give an update.
Well, the tracking turned out being totally unreliable: as a matter of fact, the FlipGrip arrived today!
So I would guess there's something weird going on with Italian addresses. But as long as stuff shows up...
Yeah that was my fear, package getting lost due to holiday craziness.To be fair to FanGamer shipping in the US right now is fucking bananas with the ramp up to the holiday.
It's just that the USPS tracking stops outside the US, you then have to manually convert the tracking number into something in use. Here in France I gave up and just waited. It arrived today, and I can't wait to try it on some shmup!S

I can understand that, problem is, their status message totally misled me because it stated "Package Acceptance Pending".It's just that the USPS tracking stops outside the US, you then have to manually convert the tracking number into something in use.

Oh definitely.I can understand that, problem is, their status message totally misled me because it stated "Package Acceptance Pending".
So it felt natural to think something was wrong until I talked to a couple of friends of mine and they told me they were experiencing the exact same thing.
Thanks, you too! :-)
i still have mine as pending :'(Christ, why for over a week my tracked package is still in LA waiting acceptance, when it said its accepted...
Oh nice, I'm in Québec too and my tracking is stucked since Dec 3rd. There's still hope then!Boom. Got it! Canada, Quebec owner here. Received it this morning!
Yeah was the same. Maybe you will receive it today or earlier next week is my guess!Oh nice, I'm in Québec too and my tracking is stucked since Dec 3rd. There's still hope then!
