Looks like it was designed by a retard. I think they should employ someone with common sense and start again. =/

Button layout looks horrible, how do you play mario on that thing? you’d have to rest it on your lap/table.

[...] start off with this piece of crap. Seriously. Look at the button layout and then where the speakers are. The reset button is RIGHT [...]

A+B buttons switched? How dare they! Also my larger hands will block the speakers and undoubtedly hit the reset button by accident. Me loves my classic console gaming but DS still wins as long as it’s not the real deal. Plus, carrying around a huge cart is pretty unwieldy for today’s portable gamer, but it will SURE win geek points among every 80’s gamer you meet while waiting for the bus!

Do I still have to blow on the cartridge to make the game work?

A similar item called the FC Mobile debuted at CES and came out a few months ago:

Pros: Fairly cheaper than the Retro Mini, long battery life, AV cable included:

Cons: Pretty bad placement of A and B buttons (switched around and a bad angle).

I have a flashcard for my DS with an emulator and over 600 NES roms on it. There is still room for some MP3s and a super compressed movie. I think I’ll stick to my DS for now.
