    I can't wait for the FC Mobile 2. But after I get that...

    Although a Genesis portable is cool and I would probably get it, I'd MUCH rather have a portable that's never been done before. Why is there no SNES or N64 portable in the works? An Atari 2600 one is, however, and I can't wait.

    I think they said a SNES one was in the works.

    There is an Atari 2600 one? Got a link? I'd love to see that.

    Yes. Here's two. It apparently is finished, just waiting on an investor.

    The not-so-hot Atari Flashback and her awesome little sister -- Flashback 2.0 -- will soon have an itty-bitty portable sibling. Curt Vendel, the Flashback's designer, recently unveiled a prototype portable Atari 2600 on the AtariAge forums. It sports an angular early-1980s design and includes a 2.5" 320 x 240 TFT LCD screen with NTSC A/V output. Power will be supplied by 3 x AAA batteries (just like the Coleco/SEGA handheld).

    Vendel seems determined to support DIY modifications. He explains, "There will be test points around the cpu chip to access all of the signals, I will also release the pinout of the chip, something I wasn't allowed to do previously." He also reports that the USB connector on the prototype will be replaced by a 'mini-connector' (presumably USB-B) for loading new games. This is great news for homebrew 2600 game authors, since they'll finally have a brand new platform to showcase their work. There's also a 20-pin 'micro connector' to allow users to easily hack up their own controllers (paddles, trackballs, etc.)

    Of course, some sacrifices had to be made to create an affordable Atari 2600 portable: it's not 100% compatible with the original, so some titles that stretched the limits of the original hardware (Pitfall II, for example) won't run. Several 2600 die-hards have also commented on the placement of the d-pad controller, which places the 'fire' button on the opposite side compared to the original Atari joystick.

    Vendel is aiming for a $39.99 retail price and the black prototype case will be replaced with something a tad more authentic. "A 2600 woody themed case is what is in the works right now," he remarks.

    I saw it first hand at MGC. Marty Goldberg (part of the team) brought it with him to the show along with the Gene Simmons' Axe Guitar he helped create. Looked pretty slick though I didn't see it on as I was manning my booth the whole time.

    My understanding is that previously it was being worked on for Atari to release, but with the management change it is being released by them. My understanding is it is supposed to be release this year sometime.

    Castlevania III is one of my favorite Castlevania games, and Popeye is in my top three favorite arcade games, and the NES version is the best home version.

    I got to hold the mock-up of the Flashback 3 at MGC and I must say that everything about it is perfect. D pad placement as well as the fire button are right where they need to be. As it was a non-functioning mock-up, I was not able to playtest it but it just "feels" right. I think the only thing lacking on it is the money to mass-produce it and bring it to market, so any angel investors reading this need to pony up some cash

    Maybe if they made a 7800 portable with the full 2600 BC built-in, it'd be better worth it.
