Man I want one of these so bad ๐ฉ
My worry is that after a few days of playing around with it, it becomes a $200 paperweight. It's a bit (and by that I mean at least 2x) too expensive for what it is.
Yeah, being a niche product without the economies of scale elsewhere in gaming makes the price really awkward. My hope is that will improve over time if the install base keeps growing.
I use mine just about every day, I've been fully obsessed with a game on multiple occasions, and I'm excited every time there are new things in the catalog. Easily worth full game-console price for the joy I've gotten out of it. But, that doesn't really help anybody else, I know.
It really is a lot less of a gimmick than it might seem. The final game of the first season is a shockingly polished gameboy-zelda-style adventure that I've played start-to-finish more than once.
