One Handheld Gaming System To Rule Them All: JXD S7800B impressions

VVV: "Many phones can power android games and emulations but where the JXD stands ahead of the crowd is in the size and quality of its screen combined with physical controls, and the latter can’t be underestimated in its importance. The JXD can run a range of games right up to the Sega Dreamcast, amazing performance from a device for the price and it really brings into perspective how overpriced a system like the Nintendo DS still is, a device years out of date yet selling on the name alone. The JXD continues to ‘Wow’ me and those that see it in action continue to be impressed. Without the marketing budgets or widespread exposure there’s currently no danger of the JXD leading the market or taking a share from the main contenders, but be in no doubt that for a growing group of gamers this is the leading handheld out there. The JXD combines solid hardware with good controls and useful software, it will take time to get the most from it, but this gamer swears by it, I put my money where my mouth is, and if you’re keen on gaming on the go you can’t go wrong."

This thing is advertised as a retro handheld gaming machine designed for the sole purpose of playing emulated games.

I would fully expect it to be cheaper than a 3DS which is going to give you actual new content.

thats how he advertised it, its also android (and advertised as emulator) with wireless video output to your tv, too. 1080p screen etc.

i think its pretty dope, i just dont have time to learn how to emulate things. id prob pay someone to do it for me. its $150 on amazon.

How about just play games at home.

Sheed3775d ago

at least i can understand the need for portability and the hassle of switching games but why buy this when you could get a psp that can emulate nearly everything that thing can for less than half the price

I never even got past the first level in Ecco the Dolphin.

Unless we're talking loops 3+, contra does not belong on this list. Loop one I've done without losing a life.

And yes I am extremely biased as contra, super C and Contra 3: the alien wars are three of my favorite games.

Add punch out, Fester's Quest, Blaster Master, Solomon's key, and adventure island.

I cannot beat battletoads, Solomon's key or adventure island even with emulators and save states.

It's a shame to me that so few indie devs seem interested in catering to this era (split screen era) of nostalgic gaming. Many of them are interested in retro gaming, obviously, but almost all of them seem to drift either to platformers or Metroidvanias (no issue with either, there have just been so many). I'd love to see an indie dev really try to capture that late N64/PS1 through early Xbox/PS2/GameCube era of split screen gaming.
