This looks beautiful! I've been in the mood for a good Jrpg for a while now. I'm still on the fence about picking up a 3ds or Vita, but I've been doing a lot more commuting by train recently and android games just don't cut it; especially in the RPG department (where the portable handhelds seem to excel).

I recently started putting emulators on my Galaxy S II for SNES, Gameboy Advance, Playstation, and Gameboy Colour.
Using touch screen D-Pads and buttons is hardly ideal for most games on those systems (or really any system); but for RPG's, which rarely require precise or immediate motion, the onscreen controls seem to work more than well enough.

I'm hoping games like Golden Sun and Final Fantasy IV and Paper Mario can tide me over for a while, but maybe I should just bite the bullet and pick up a designated portable. After all, 'man does not live on classic emulated RPG's alone' and the more I see titles like uncharted and wipeout on the vita, or fire emblem or Mario 3d Land on the 3ds, the more tempting their calls become. Thoughts?

Oh my! The art style is wonderful! I especially enjoy the character design of the rocks. I'm getting kind of a Rango, mixed with Wind Waker, mixed with Sonic, mixed with one of the numerous fortification games (build up our defenses by collecting resources) vibe from this. It looks fun; and at only $10 it's probably good for a few train rides of entertainment :-)

Wow. I'm not really sure what to think of this article. Unique Joystiq.

To someone more in the know than I: How is it that planes can determine their altitude?

@Snarf101 Don't worry guys! Snarf's comment was relevant to the article because the EVO has a gps built in... right? And you might carry it with you on a plane?

I will use them with my phone and computer for music and to play various games when my housemates are asleep.

nice

I was nice. I donated blood :-)

I thought I saw a man trying to grab me. Turns out it was a tree.

Yes. There are $30 cables for the Go which you can use to connect to either a component or composite tv. It remains to be seen however whether or not you can actually charge the unit while using one of these cables, as they take up the sole proprietary USB slot which is also used for charging the unit.

If you're really passionate about playing long sessions, you might want to save up for a $30 dock as well, which would allow for both charging and video out at the same time.

Not exactly as cost effective, as a psp 3000 which uses seperate cables for charging and video out, but if you simply must have a go and must have dual shock 3 support and video out and charging, the Go it's the only way to do that.

And quite frankly, if you're considering a Go, I doubt the additional $30 should bother you that much.
