I think there's definitely a niche market for a low specs/low price handheld for 2D retro-style games. Here's hoping the rumor is true!

I owned a Game Gear and the battery usage was insane, almost as bad as my Nomad. By then I knew to plug everything in to an outlet.

portable 3ft from the outlet.

Hey, at least you can play in your room where there was no probably TV, or in the living room if your parents were watching a show.

Remember the game gear had a tv tuner?

also buying the car adapter was a must. My dad didn't like it though cause he smoked.
