New Jakks Retro Arcade

I just saw this at Target for like $19.99

It looks much better than the old ones.  The joystick feels better, it saves high scores, and it has 12 retro arcade games built in.

It makes me want to try to hack it!   :)

Better post the link like this.
I have a hosts-filter for annoying ads and that one blocks 2mdn.net links.

Grasshopper:

The main flaw of the original was the tinny sound. Can you tell me what the sound is like on this new version?

It certainly looks nicer. However, I'm disappointed to note that once again Jakks have put the buttons on the wrong side of the joystick.  :banghead:

I asked them how to open the game.... as no screws were visible   :laugh:

Kevin Mullins:

Looks like they just combined two of their existing units as far as game titles go.
More detail on the controller artwork, but that's about it.
