There are like two or three within twenty miles of my house, and all of them carry hardware. One JUST started carrying the original FC Mobile and some original but overpriced systems, another one always has the newest Hyperkin/Yobo products, and the other has authentic systems as well as clones.
Im feeling a little bit emo now. I live in a far off suburb of the city of Vancouver and we have jack for shopping options for anything. There isnt even an antique or specific interest hobby store here. 159,000 people-- pretty sad.

The biggest cities around here have like 50,000 people, and we have all that within a ten mile radius, along with five Goodwills. All the good classic gaming stores are either local or state-wide chains.
This is painful. Especially considering I dont have out of city transportation. Funny thing is, the Vancouver region has millions of people living in it and their is only 3 retro game stores... lol.

The guy from 8bitclassics apparently was recording my presentation at MGC:

The Pluto looks so sexy. Nice job!
Yet another youtube channel:

So, the Pluto could really be out as soon as the end of next month? That's both surprising and awesome. In my mind, I wasn't expecting it until at least the end of summer. Seeing it in hand, the Pluto looks like a very nice device. The FC Mobiles, as functional as they are, are certainly clunky looking beasts, but the Pluto is definitely something I wouldn't be shy about showing off in public.
It would nearly be a console seller if you could tie up with the pier solar team and do a mainstream release of there game along with the gaia, it may ship units.
zomg I have a sig
That would be pretty awesome, but I'm not sure it would make people want to buy it more, unless they advertise how it's the first mainstream Genesis release in over ten years.
I think the only "flaw" with the FC Mobile is the cartridges themselves, designed large to fit in a big system. Most of them have boards that would fit in smaller housings. You end up with a game that's bigger than the console itself.
It's actually the second biggest media ever used in a cartridge based system, next only to the Neo-Geo.
Just called local store here, they didn't have any...
eBay still doesnt have any... *dies a little*
DERP
I haven't even begun preorders for them yet...
I did say March was doubtful, it's looking more like early April.
Since FC Mobile 2 is nearly done, my focus will now move to Pluto and after that is something many of you have been waiting for.
On the pluto I think the battery being rechargable should be optional. There is nothing worse for a console than to have only rechargable batteries later on. Try and find a DS original battery in 20 years that actually works...
DERP
What will be even worse is PS3 controllers. :X
I think that eventually, if Sony starts thinking smart, they will release controllers with battery options similar to the 360 controllers.
DERP
So, since Megaman 3 works, I can assume the FC Mobile II is 100% compatible with all games except for the usual Castlevania III, Paperboy, and Battletoads?
Oh, and any news on playing Famicom games with an adapter?
Hey, are these holes in the system speakers?
