    Looks nice, but I've no confidence that the controller holds up under stress.

    I'd prefer if it didn't have the screen. They could bundle a decent joystick instead, with a HDMI out box.

    Screen is just far too small to be of any use. As for playing it on a larger screen/hdmi out, it's essentially a really bad controller at that point.

    Yeah either make a mini cab with a decently sized screen or a mini console. Dedicated product geared towards one function.

    Having the HDMI out just cheapens it I reckon.

    At least the screen is 4:3 so will seem a bit bigger than a usual 3.5 LCD.

    If I get one it'll just be for the novelty factor as I does 'look' pretty cool.

    They should just have hired the guy that had the failed StarforcePi kickstarter a couple of years back.

    Was just about to say what a thing of beauty! Until i released its the top comment on the video! :(

    Is it an LCD screen? I love how the bezel gives it a CRT look!
