Preview: Two New Limited Edition GBA SPs with Bundled Games
From recent conversations: The UK Nintendo GBA SP will be released in two new bundled packs as limited editions.
This first is to coincide with the UK launch of Mario vs. DK. The system will be two tone. The bottom half will be the familar silver. The top half will be “mario” red with a big [...]
What Is The GP32?
Since we made the announcement that we were now covering GP32 and all it’s emulator and extreme app silliness, we’ve received several emails asking “So Jason, what exactly is this GP32?”. I could answer all those emails one by one, but I might be too lazy. Instead, I offer this: a quick accounting of the [...]
Lik-Sang Loves You, Offers Discounts to Portagame Readers
Well, I was just about to put up a post to “Thank Our Sponsors” like some blogs do, when I get an email with a little twist: Our sponsor would like to thank you!
Lik-Sang has been working very closely with us to provide us with news, rumors, and the latest goodies for hands-on reviews [...]
The Register reviews the Tapwave
Check out this great little review from our tea-swilling friends over the pond.
They go on to say that The Zodiac’s highlight is its gorgeous 3.8in, 480 x 320 16-bit colour transflective LCD. It’s not the brightest display I’ve seen, but without a doubt the best one on a games-oriented device. The screen is [...]

Less than 10 days away, TGS 2004 is looking to be bigger and badder than ever, much to the scale [...]
New Categories: GP32 and Classic Handhelds
We’ve had a lot of requests to up our coverage of the popular GP32 import system and Classic Handheld systems (NGPC, GameBoy, Game Gear, etc.). Since we really do enjoy pocket gaming (not that kind) we are happy to oblige. We have now opened the GP32 and Classic Handheld editorial sections. We were busy before, [...]
Wal-Mart TipToes Around Nintendo DS Launch?
Wal-Mart may have just performed one of the bigger retail slip-ups of the year. Their close relationship with Nintendo probably won’t suffer, but I can’t imagine that the big N won’t be a little upset by Wal-Mart letting customers pre-order with a set price and a ship-by date before an official launch announcement has been [...]
OQO Sets Launch Oct 14
OQO Beautiful…we’ve waited so long! Now, on October 14, we’ll finally have a chance to own you!
According to a corporate email sent out by OQO, their handheld PC will leave the shackles of “Vaporware” as it materializes into reality. The purchase price is still expected to be in the $2K range, so we’ll be saving [...]
