Photos are from 2 different visits. Keep in mind, many of these were taken while climbing up and over (and under) cabs backed up one by one in storage cabinets and containers, hence the quality.0 -

There are 8-10 I believe, I counted when there, I assume Arcade Club got a few. You'd need a forflilt to get one of those into a van with the weight of them!
Must have been, I was told "A few are interested".
Yeah, it's a pity most of the racers weren't for sale either, although we've 5 or 6 racers now at Level Up so we've probably enough 0 -

and a proper old school LCD screen with a switchable backlight for a classic or modern feel.
I'd say a GameBoy Classic is a definite possibility, though I'd happily consign those OG screens to the bin....they're horrendous to use. I always found the GameBoy experience was enhanced with the various different screen mods....not exactly original, but superior in every way. Nostalgia only takes you so far
And you'd think Nintendo would have the know-how to do what emulation has failed to with the N64. If all else fails, they could just copy the physical system architecture.
N64 emulation is in the best shape it's ever been. There's very active development going on with more than one emulator. It's obviously got a ways to go before being considered 'perfect', but the myth that emulation has failed the N64 is completely untrue imo, certainly now more than ever. The simplicity now of installing a RetroArch core, configuring the settings the way you like them, saving them, and then just playing the games you want has made it easier than ever - it can be hardware intensive though, particularly the low level AngryLion gpu renderer, but it's the most hardware accurate N64 rendering there's been to date (so accurate in fact that I don't use it - I much prefer the renderers that allow you to crank the internal resolution - stock N64 graphics are really jarring these days).
That said, I'm sure Nintendo could do an N64 Mini...I wouldn't be hopeful of a shrunk down N64 though, I'd say that'd be pretty pricey to manufacture. An SOC approach, much like the other mini's, would be more likely - though it'd need to be significantly more powerful, and I doubt you'd be picking one up for €79. Ninty have dabbled in N64 emulation like the VC, so it's not as if they'd be starting from scratch.0 -

One thing I'll say about the OG GB screen is that the nature of it means your eyes don't perceive the pixellation in the way they would with, say, a Game Gear. Gives games a timeless look because it was out of date even when it was new.0 -

As for a Gameboy Mini, I think it might be possible. However I'll be plonking down my money on this:

My shift is coming back on weekends so it will be the end of March before I have another free Saturday, but that gives time to figure out if people are interested.
I'm also happy to drive but only 2 others will fit in the Golf, not much room behind the driver seat for a long drive.Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy wrote: »Been a few times already it's not far from me so if I'm free whatever date is picked I can drop over
Can't remember we're you at a beers befire?
I was just at the one last February, didn't get a chance to go to the others

Pity it's later in March, Gamerfest is early March (7/8th) so Sparks would be around for that.My shift is coming back on weekends so it will be the end of March before I have another free Saturday, but that gives time to figure out if people are interested

It's not being reported in most of the big games publications because, hey the next fortnite media crossover is more important than someone actually dying, but Kazuhisa Hashimoto has died.
He worked on the Gradius port to the NES and created the famous Konami code. He worked on loads of legendary games while at konami.
