In this episode Paul and Arron discuss their experiences with movie licensed games. From the 80’s to now there have been hundreds made. Some have been amazing based on the summer blockbusters of that particular year, Batman, Jurassic Park etc. However there have been many awful ones such as Wayne’s World, Home Alone etc.

With less than 100 games in its library, the Neo Geo Pocket might not seem like a convincing candidate for a flash cart, but when you consider that a great many of its titles are incredibly hard to obtain these days on the secondary market, the existence of the Neo Geo Pocket SD flash cartridge is a little more understandable. Getting a 100 percent complete NGPC software collection is a costly affair to say the least; the console’s rather dismal commercial performance – twinned with the iconic nature of SNK, its creator – has predictably caused prices to surge in recent years as more and more of the system’s top-tier titles get gobbled up by enthusiasts and collectors.

“Where do you put the old carts”? I heard this bizarre question far too frequently when I showed off my NES Mini. I would argue the reason for this was down to the fact it’s pretty much the size of two stacked cartridges. While adorably cute, having something as tiny as the Nintendo NES Classic Edition meant comprises, and I thought the ability to use original NES cartridges was the cost. Elsewhere in the market, Hyperkin have proved me wrong with their RetroN HD. It’s a system that’s only slightly larger than Nintendo’s NES Mini console, (5.5″ x 2″ x 6″ compared to 5” x 1.5” x 4”). However, this piece of hardware is a miniature console that not only looks similar to its inspiration, but also one that actually plays NES cartridges instead of emulated ROMs.

The runaway success Nintendo has enjoyed with their miniaturised NES and SNES Consoles immediately prompted vocal fans to wonder what was next? While there’s certainly lots eager for a shrunk down N64, there’s probably just as many thirsty for a tiny GameBoy. First glance at the BittBoy would make you think that someone has beaten Nintendo to the punch, but this assumption would be a mistake.
