I got version 2 today and after playing with it for a bit, I can safely say that the D-pad is very responsive. I had no trouble with lag or stickiness. The buttons feel like they are just the right distance apart and the screen is awesome. Never had v1 of the RDP, but v2 blows the FC 16 Go out of the water. No comparison. I haven't tried any of the special chip games, but plan on doing that later tonight.

The only two negatives are the shoulder buttons are a bit awkward at first. Nothing I can't get used to though. The other negative is the NES portal. I only tried Mega Man 2 and couldn't get it to work. I'm not against the idea of a two in one portable, but this makes me think of the Game Axe and playing NES games with a famicom adapter. It's not THAT bad, but it feels the same to me. I still have the Game Axe, but never play it. Personally, I like the FC Mobile 2 for my NES portable needs, but I can see how having two for 1 price would be appealing. If I did not have the FC mobile 2, I would make do with this portal.
