Overange Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 The controller appears to be easily modded to work on a classic system using a 9 pin, as there appears to be break out pads for the switches..... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabe Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I watched that video earlier. I wonder why they sent him a prototype rather than a production unit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfollowell Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Oh, he definitely says that it isn't a production unit early on. Even if he's hadn't, I mean, the 400 is solid black and there's no paint at all on the joystick. It's kind of obvious that it definitely isn't a production unit.

+LS650 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 I found it amusing how he superimposed the image of the production model over the black prototype... I thought things looked pretty good from the review. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH, I found the smoke and mirrors kind of annoying. I had no problem with the black prototype unit; in fact, it looked cool like that to me. BTW, one reviewer has a boxed production unit in hand; but he's been instructed not to review it yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I recall they also sent him a prototype of the A500 mini (Amiga) too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CartoonDan Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Here is a interview about the 400 mini 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preppie Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Thanks for that interview. 1) What's the surprise? 2) Are some of us gonna be empty handed after 28th? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CartoonDan Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 I hope the surprise is Atari-8 bit related and not about their new recharged arcade games. Atari sure is doing a lot lately. Amazon tells me "Now arriving March 29". Hopefully that is accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Lange Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I received a review unit in the mail today to review for Old School Gamer magazine (https://www.oldschoolgamermagazine.com/). I'm only allowed to post a photo of the box prior to the March 28th release date. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, this, in part, means that if response continues as such, there's quite a good chance of them continuing to develop for the 8-bit computers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
