    Well worth it!

    While the Chromatic and AA batteries will outlive the Power Core.. and perhaps us all, there's no arguing the connivence of plugging in a USB C cable for just a short while and unlocking hours of enjoyment is a worth while investment.

    ..as a disclaimer, this is not an actual investment, but it sure makes it easier to play more Tetris, and how can that be a bad thing?

    Beautiful

    The Modretro Chromatic works as advertised and more. It brought back so many memories from when I was a kid playing on my Gameboy and Gameboy color. My brother's were impressed with the build and quality of the device. If this is the level of quality I'm getting with a handheld device, I can only imagine what Modretro will deliver with the M64. I anticipate great things the new console.

    Super battery

    This things great, charges up fast & holds a charge for a long time. Also fixed my screen flickering that I was having from AAs.
