Is it just the cam, or actually there? It's just an artifact from the camera. It looks great on the big screen. Extremely sharp and pixel perfect, just like all their other products. The only real downside to the dock is that output options are really limited at launch, although they will be expanded with future firmware updates. It's not a problem for me since I prefer the pixel perfect look over "blended pixel" and fake CRT filters, but your mileage may vary.

Tanooki | 4,934 Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Wow @DoctorEncore you're making me wish so that I'm into the first grouping on these. And you're right, I never did get around to getting that awesome Shrek two pack of movies, or there's the one with Shark Tale. I take it you can do it on tv circumventing NIntendo's bullshit too with GB Video? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to grab a backup Pocket since these things are so awesome, but was busy in surgery and missed group A. I finally got an order placed about 3 hours later and still managed group B. As long as mine doesn't kick the bucket in the next year, I should be good. Edited December 20, 2021 by DoctorEncore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gloves | 11,783 Administrator · Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Just got my 2nd order details: That's the accessories order, so no big deal. I can stand to not have a dock for a few months, no prob! I'll have to be careful handling the Pocket in the meantime (order 2 also has the screen protector, and case), but I don't think that'll be a problem at all.

You can't use it while playing the system. So your Cheetos fingers are gonna be dangerously cheesy no matter what. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki | 4,934 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I was locked in within a few moments of going live, but I sat in the queue for over 5 minutes at least, cleared with the checkmark by the 20min mark and got stuffed into group B and I'm not thankful, I'm kind of pissed. Got in within moments, queue rotted, then got benched to wait a year. I've been reading many people comparing notes and it almost skirts the line of having paid within minutes or almost being semi-random within the first 15-30min of orders or so...it's odd, reading facebook, reddit, etc. There's a lot of angry people in group B who figured they'd be in A that may be as much to fault on their stuffing people into queues as to having a card process.

Tanooki | 4,934 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 They should have just waffled and kicked the can into next year as this is an infuriating mess for most interested parties which won't work well for them pissing off their core consumers. This isn't a company or set of devices random joe shmo off the street is going to care paying up that much for things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICrappedMyPants | 302 Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Thankfully this is an open pre-order. I’ll take my time for the 2023 release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWunderful | 2,927 Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 I dont know. In my opinion they handled it about as well as they could of especially with a chip shortage. Nice staggered pre orders with hard limits. Not sure how analogue could have done better, other than have a billion units available ready to ship on day 1. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew there wasn’t much chance of me getting in group A because of my time difference so I’m happy I got in group B at least. Wish I didn’t have to wait, but patience is the name of the game in this chip shortage world. The good thing about this approach is everyone who wants one will get one. The only people paying the scalper price are the impatient ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki | 4,934 Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 That's some really dumb and obvious oversight given the obvious damage it's causing. They best fix that as more adapters get made. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulpa | 3,506 Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Maybe they thought it would go great with the scraped up NES carts the early Nts caused. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWunderful | 2,927 Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 Its pretty easy to avoid that by slightly tilting the cart back. I did notice it but its pretty minor. You almost have to pull the cart towards you while inserting to get it to catch that hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloves | 11,783 Administrator · Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Just got an update email for Q1 shipping; apparently they'll begin shipping in the last week of March. They're giving until March 13th to change your address so if anyone's in that boat you have just under a week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
