    Judging by the picture is this for ants? It needs to be atleast 3 times bigger.

    same question as above does it work well?
    Anyone tried ?

  • ptsordos on 13/06/2014 - 11:34

    Hahaha…So retro! Brings back memories.

    I think it is more like a collection display instead of actually for playing.

  • fookos on 13/06/2014 - 11:48

    There are plenty of emulators around for existing consoles. Maybe a good novely, or gift idea.

    Judging by the picture, this is only a control pad you connect to the TV

    The control pad is packaged in a box which looks like an arcade machine

    • markus84 on 13/06/2014 - 12:12

      Correct it's just a controller in a fancy box. Plenty of images on google for this, even a review on YouTube, I reckon worth it for $9

    • ShipShapeRC on 13/06/2014 - 12:25

      Yes the console looks like just cardboard packaging. The blue bit is the actual product with a couple of buttons and a joystick built in. $14 delivered is pretty good for a retro thing. An easier retro gaming fix than hauling out my old Commodore Amiga with extra RAM and the side mounted massive 20MB hardrive…

    Great review here

    http://www.jameswoodcock.co.uk/2010/12/16/arcade-nano-review…

    Keychain size control pad

    Still alright for $9

  • rooon on 13/06/2014 - 12:28

    Pickup - Estimated collection: 23/06/2014. Not yet in store??

  • muncan on 13/06/2014 - 13:04

    Possible dupe https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/147944

  • tron07 on 13/06/2014 - 14:10

    I would like to purchase on install for that price.

  • thiosuxtube on 13/06/2014 - 14:56

    How does it connect to the TV? (eg. analogue, composite RCA, HDMI…)

  • [Deactivated] on 16/06/2014 - 09:12

    Received mine

    Tiny little thing - does ok - sound seems a bit off, maybe slower. Could be the master system versions possibly.

    Joystick is usable.

    Need to be about max of 1.5-2m away from tv so if your tv has back rca, could be a bit uncomfortable.

    All in all, not too bad for $9

    Certainly not worth $29 (i think original price).

  • juzz0 on 16/06/2014 - 11:58

    It would've been a good buy for under $10 no strings. The fact you can't click and collect because it's only for orders only $40 (unless purchase $31+ worth of other stuff) or are faced with an additional $5 (I think minimum) postal fee (over 50% of the product cost) makes this a deal-breaker for me.

    It's sad because I grew up with sonic, playing it often on my master system and it seems like a great novelty (gift as well).

    Is there any reason they don't stock in store? Lack of interest, demand = not worth the shelf space? I would gladly go to a Big W and search the shelves for it (if it was available in-store)

      What about emulators? I've been having a great time reliving the gaming days of yesteryear on the PSP Street in transit.

      Do you have a Wii? Check out all these retro systems you could be running (with a wireless controller I might add!): http://wiibrew.org/wiki/List_of_homebrew_emulators

      • juzz0 on 17/06/2014 - 04:10

        I had a bunch of things running on my PSP at one point, thanks for the link. I guess it was the novelty factor as well that I found interesting with this. Just disappointing you can't buy it in store (even if it was stocked at only a few stores it would be nice)
