There was a kickstarter update on the Next today too. Board only version is shipping on the 27th Nov.

Yeah, exciting, I still have to wait for (hopefully) January for mine, but I am looking forward to seeing what people do with their boards.

Just preordered on Amazon just in time for my birthday in february !

You do all know that this C64mini is by the same guys who have yet to ship there last crowdfunded project ? In fact there are doing this one to raise (more) funds to finish the other projects, so I don't have much faith in them.

I don't completely trust any one from the Vega + debacle, but the truth is Paul Andrews and Chris Smith were part of the team that released the (underwhelming imo but pretty much exact same idea as C64 mini) Sinclair Vega successfully and jumped ship very early on in the Vega Plus story and are no longer involved, unless you consider legal action from both sides and bitching in social media involved

So whilst I don't rate them too highly either, they have finished a project before and sold it.

1: An actual thing that'll make it to retail
and
B: Worth buying when I have a C64 already.

1: Probably
B: I'd say absolutely not.

Just got email from Amazon and launch date pushed till April

Few production photos of the device here.

Just don't see the attraction with this. Emulation, in non working keyboard case, with joystick that looks exactly the same as the plug and play job, all the same buttons and everything.

They've gone from a really interesting looking handheld or full size, fully functional, reproduction, to a fancy case, just looks like a total cop out from where they started from.

Jumping on the mini bandwagon, a C64 mini was announced today. 64 fully licensed games are included. There are A LOT of great games there, but some questionable choices too. If sideloading is possible (like Hakchi on the NES classic), this will be even better.

Love the competition pro controller too.
(I hope it has microswitches and is nice and clicky!)

£69.99, out next year.

New promo video released today (Release date confirmed as March 29th):

Looking at the video , it looks like a similar way of saving as on the NES MINI , with 4 save slots per game .

Well that's a game changer, if they've added boulder dash, people will buy this just to play it

Edit _dunno where the thumbs down thing came from, texting here

I think they said games can be added by owners anyway but I'm glad Boulderdash will be playable out of the box .

I still fire up a fan made remake on the pc every now and then (Boulder Remake) , and have Boulder Dash - 30th Anniversary on Steam , but I'm still looking forward to this

Not sure if posted already

Hands on video

I don't need one, I probably won't play it, the games won't be as good as I remember and it'll be a nightmare to press 'up' the jump again.

I hate that I'm going to end up getting one.
