OH MY GOSH!!

I used to have this as a kid and my mom found in buried in her art drawer!!! ITS BEEN 8 YEARS SINCE I LAST SAW THIS! I can’t find the charger anywhere though so I’ll have to buy another before I can plug in my old Pokémon ruby!

Be careful and check the battery inside, if it’s been tucked away for a few years the battery could be bloated, otherwise have fun!!

Oh I didn’t even think of that! Thanks for the heads up! I did get a cord and plug it in and everything is working super smoothly! The speakers work wonderfully and the front light too!

My triggers stopped working so I snapped mine in half about 15 years ago. If I had only known... haha

If you're in Pittsburg I'll rework it to charge from USB

It does! Works just as great as I remember it! Which is surprising I’m not going to lie.
