The release date was set for August 1999 and mainly EB and other stores of its nature were stocked with these systems. The system comes with two AA batteries and one CR2032 lithium battery. The screen is in the middle, while the directional pad, power button, and speaker are located on the left. The option, A, and B buttons are located on the right side. The bottom portion contains the volume select button, headphones connection, and power adapter connection.
Games are inserted at the top and an extension cable slot is located on the top right side.
The directional pad is perfect because it similar to an arcade joystick, multiple directions. The A and B buttons are well placed and responsive. But there are some minor flaws. There are only two gameplay buttons and the speaker could have been a bit bigger. The cartridge sizes are all the same and very small.
