I hope this does well so they can justify making a second version that fixes all the issues this has.

We're really living through an age of remakes from a good chunk of the larger studios.
I guess they're comparatively low effort and give them more time to cook with actual new titles though, so I can't say I mind too much.

So Anbernic's sub-$100 DS handheld is... $99.99... I suppose that adds up lol.
The power isn't really there for me. Doesn't seem like there's enough to really show the benefits of emulation over playing on hardware. Having a glance on eBay, a DSi XL is £50ish (~$65). A much better option with CFW.

We also covered AYANEO's Pocket Air Mini earlier this week. There's a lot of handhelds on the market, but this one seems to be making a bit of a splash for its sub-$100 price point and pretty nice build quality.
