My Arcade Megaman Pocket Player Pro: 6 Mega Man Games, Retro Handheld | Capcom, Birthday Gifts, Arcade Classics

I got this for myself for Christmas, it was on sale at the time, but the device is a good price to get all the classics megamans in one place. Button responsive seems normal and althought this is a non rechargeable device, its portability made up for it. I do own the official Switch version of the same games bundled up on a larger screen, and this is not as convenient to me as the switch, but realizing not everyone owns the expensive console, this was a decent budget option for the ones that want a handheld version that is official.

Is really good to pass time

These were a gift for my kids this Christmas. Games play exactly the same as they played when I was a kid. My kids are rather frustrated with the difficulty and are thrilled whenever they make progress. Working out exactly as I had hoped. They're also rather sturdy and well made.

It's fairly decent for what it is, which is just 6 roms in a handheld. The construction of the handheld feels solid and is comfortable to hold. The d-pad takes a little getting used to, but it's not terrible. Button placement may depend on your preference, but it's fine for me. As for the games themselves it is 6 games like it says, the games being Mega Man 1-6 as they appeared on NES. If you have played the original games before you know what to expect. The only glaring flaw and what keeps it from getting 5 stars is not having a means to continue in the first Mega Man game. Mega Man 2-6 have a password system so you can easily continue where you left off, but the first game never had that meaning you have to finish in one sitting. Normally it's not a problem, but I think being on a handheld would've benefited with a form of saving, or working with the rights owners in programming an exclusive version with a password system. These days most would opt to throw in a save feature, but I believe retroactively giving Mega Man 1 a password screen would keep in theme with retro gaming.

As a little game handheld it goes above and beyond. All 6 Megaman games, they run at the correct speed, have the correct music, look great and are still super fun. Totally worth the purchase.

I'm a fairly big Mega Man fan, having owned/played every mainline title from the Classic, X, Zero, ZX and Legends series (minus some spin-offs and non canon titles I wasn't able to find), so the prospect of a cheap (more on that later), legal and convenient way to play the original NES entries on the go was simply irresistible to me and I jumped on it as soon as I had the chance. But obviously this review is not about my Mega Man fandom but rather about what you can expect from a product like this one. Therefore, I'm not discussing anything about the games themselves apart from the fact that while they're not MSX2 Metal Gear 2 they're still some of the finest 8-bit titles of all time. Now the machine itself. From a hardware standpoint, this silly little gadget gives a very good first impression. It's sturdy, runs on four standard AA batteries and its controls are among the best I've ever felt, even on more "real" handheld consoles. Great build, great feel and has a very cute front design depicting Mega Man, Cut Man and Guts Man! I just hope the printing stands the test of time... Build quality: 9 With that out of the way it's time to get honest with the rest. Time to get to the software part. Rather than having a HOME button, the system has a hard reset function that restarts the whole thing, minus the My Arcade star-up screen. There is a launcher upon activation, with the same 8-bit (and aspect ratio) presentation as the games themselves, but rather than six separate ROMS, it seems to be a single ROM with the launcher and all six games inside it, hence the need for a hard reset to change the games. Not a big deal in itself, but it further shows My Arcade's peculiar approach to the game data, and might explain several things that may or may not go beyond regular emulation. The screen is OK, and is bright and crisp enough, but it's a cheap 2.75" LCD display that's not clearly visible from every angle. Good enough (but not perfect) for individual play, but nothing more. Screen: 7 The games are colorful and look rather nice, but are displayed on the same forced 4:3 aspect ratio the NES games are presented on the Legacy Collection on last-gen consoles. No pixel perfect option. Also, expect A LOT of uneven pixels on the horizontal resolution as a result of the forced aspect ratio. The vertical resolution is absolutely perfect, though, as evidenced by the life and weapon gauges! A feat not even the Legacy Collection 2 ports of MM9 and 10 on last-gen consoles could achieve! Weird, indeed... Aspect ratio: 6 Pixel uniformity: 5 How well the games run is a different story. There is a lot of diagonal screen tearing (specially noticeable on strobing effects), probably due to the cheap screen not being able to achieve the proper refresh rate (maybe it is to maximize battery life?). This, along with the wildly uneven horizontal pixels gives the visual presentation a shoddy quality purists will never forget (or forgive). The emulation (or whatever it is) is competent on all other aspects and even the parallax scrolling on later entries is correctly presented here, with no additional glitches or artifacts. UPDATE: There ARE additional glitches and artifacts from Mega Man 3 onward, probably because they were developed on different engines than 1 and 2. Visual accuracy: 7 Visual performance: 5 This device doesn't support any assisting tools common to most emulators, even the crudest ones. So, don't expect any visual and sound adjustments beside the physical volume and brightness buttons on the handheld itself, and certainly no state saving of any kind. That's right! Old school at its finest (and at its cruelest)! Mega Man 1 in ONE sitting! Yay! At least the others keep their password function! :P Additional emulation features: 0 Controls: On the control department, I'm happy to report the games control like a dream! The pad and buttons are confortable, accurate and responsive with almost zero lag, even with all that screen tearing and slowdown inherent to 8-bits! You can even shoot Mega Man's main weapon along the music and stay on the rhythm)! Another feat not achieved on modern consoles... go figure... Controls and responsiveness: 10 The sound fares better than the visual presentation but it's still not a 1:1 replica of the original NES hardware. However, the stuff that's not perfectly recreated does sound nice and never gets annoying. UPDATE: Mega Man 3-6 have a very weird sustain effect which can actually get annoying. This is likely the result of spotty emulation. Sound emulation: 6 The battery life is more than adequate and after maybe 12-15 hours of non-continuous operation I haven't had to replace/recharge them yet (I'm using four Eneloop rechargeable batteries). Battery life: 8 at least, but not fully assessed until I have to actually replace/recharge the batteries. A word on pricing: While I said earlier this thing was cheap, I think it is... for a LICENSED product. That means you will own legal/authorized copies of Mega Man 1-6. If that's important to you, then the price is OK for what you'll get. But the licensing does come at a cost, and the result is that this one's not probably the cheapest handheld to play these games on. Since these Pocket Player gadgets came out there have been many comments about how much a ripoff they are, and how this or that device can run these same ROMS (and many more) in way better and cheaper ways. To each their own. I'm not going into that kind of discussion. Not here and not anywhere else. This is an official product and for better or worse, you're also paying for that. It's still way cheaper than playing the Mega Man Legacy Collection on a Switch, though. Pricing: 6. Overall: I personally still liked this handheld and have been having a great time playing these titles on the go. Well, at least until my travel time and/or patience allow me with MM1. I'm glad to have a relatively inexpensive way to play these titles on the go without having to carry a Switch around and fearing it gets damaged or stolen (beside all that, the box is beautiful). So, it works for me. Since it might not work for you, I felt I needed to be as honest as I'm capable of with its many flaws despite how much fun I'm having with it. So there you have it. Enjoy (or not)! Overall: 6.

Bought for a relative. He loves it. Old games in the palm of his hand.

Amazing box if you want to play the original 6 MegaMan games this is the best way to go and it's portable.

Magnífico. Es un articulo digno de coleccionista. Buena presentacion, buen empaque y se ve de calidad. Merece muchísimo la pena

Console fidèle a l'originale des années 80, les bugs de la nintendo en moins. Un régal de nostalgie !

最高

La distribucion del pad y los botones es sorprendentemente el adecuado, te permite una experiencia similar al NES

Good
