On display at this year's Consumer Electronics Show, the My Arcade Mega Man Pixel Pocket Pro is a keychain gaming device small enough to fit in your pocket or hang off your backpack. It includes—you guessed it—Mega Man 1 through 6.
With a 2-inch screen and a questionable A and B button layout, the Pixel Pocket Pro may not be the ideal—or even comfortable—way to play these games. It's more of a novelty than anything. But if you're interested, it'll you back $19.99 when it hits retailers later this year.
My Arcade is also re-releasing the larger Mega Man Pocket Player Pro from a couple of years ago, bundled with a new carrying case. It’s a more practical choice for longer handheld gaming sessions, but if you’re not drawn to the novelty, there are better ways to play the first six NES games.
It would be a feat to beat any of the games on this. No Select button either, so bye bye pause glitch.
ReplyDeleteI think the next version of “novelty NES Mega Man” should be an augmentation that projects the games directly to your brain.
Oh come on....... AGAIN? I've already own their 4 Pico, Nano, and their Micro Player, AND their Pocket Player Pro versions of Mega Man ports.... NOW they wanted to make this? Is it Capcom desperate, or is My Arcade desperate to throw Mega Man out this much like so? Don't forget we also have Arcade1Up to thank bringing Mega Man 1-6 as its own little console set.
ReplyDeleteI mean.... I'm more than happy to get this one too, but My Arcade has already ported Mega Man 1-6 more than enough times. That is all I am saying.
The button layout is so weird with this one! Why not keep it the same as the previous model? I get that it is smaller, but there is room there to shrink the buttons and slide them over. Look at the GBA Micro
ReplyDeleteMy wife bought me the original for me for Christmas this year, and its a lot of fun to just pick up and play! But this one is just.. Odd
