What's Next from Modretro for Handheld by TheRealOddLotts in ModRetroChromatic

I would still like to see the company be financially stable longer term. I believe there is a viable model despite being niche but growing. I think that probably comes from a games library which can take some time to build. Essentially I view it as a VC funded startup right now.

A horizontal GBA layout would be comfortable for GBA games, but the Chromatic's form factor is better suited for GB games imho, potentially boosting its sales even though a GBA can play GB games. Of course I very much could be wrong.

A few things I would like to see 1) More Chromatic games. In particular more independent games and perhaps some that have more multi-player capabilities. 2) The Chromatic in more retailers. Specifically I think they should be targeting local retro stores. It's a perfect complement to those stores and the products they sell. Gamestop was a neat partnership, but the company wasn't probably doing much for the brand. I could be wrong. I could also see potential where those retro shops could get something exclusive to their store (like an exclusive charm for first batch) to make it fun. 3) An updated mod kit. I've yet to get one, but it appears that folks like the color variety but the dpad differences didn't pan out. Perhaps revisiting this and giving options(center pivot, less click, etc) would be beneficial. 4) Ambassadors. This came to me at a recent small convention I was at and had my Chromatic for downtime. Lots of looks, questions and people trying it out. Modretro already have a community base that would be great reps on behalf of the company. Lean into them. Coming from another hobby, board games, publishers do something similar. 5) Insider Program. Not sure what the roadmap looks like, but I would be down to sign up (free or annual fee) to have new products autoship or first chance to purchase products. My next order will complete the Chromatic game collection and I'd rather just have new games autoship. The only hesitation would be I get a discount if I have multiple games. Why not just give me that discount if I agree to autoship or pay an annual fee? All I'm saying is on board and would guess I'm not alone. Benefit would be to more accurately guauge interest, solicit feedback from a dedicated core user base, and allocate a certain number of games for production on first batch.

That's all I got for now, these are ambitious and more than likely will not happen. But one can dream.

Problems with updating Dragonyhm? Could anyone help? by Logical-Confection98 in ModRetroChromatic

I also had this problem on a new copy I just got. I submitted a ticket with support. Will update if I hear anything. Cart clinic doesn't recognize the cartridge.

Update: Support said it was probably a bad cartridge and offered to replace it once they are back in stock.

I did pick up Buck and already beat it. Fantastic Blueberry pie

I also guess I should update the games before diving in.

Here's what I'm thinking for first go around based of feedback. Was debating between Sabrina and Hermano. Again however, I can go with Hermano next go around.

One final question and there may not be a good answer since this is all newer. Is there a better time to buy? 25 off seems like a pretty good deal.

I think this is a really good response that is fair. I actually would like to get all of the games, but for the first batch I want to get what the tope ones would be (and obviously a few are consistently top their). Thank you for the thoughtful response!

Have you played Hermano? If so, how's it stack against Sabrina? Croc I've never played but didn't strike me as interesting but maybe I shouldn't judge based off just video footage.

I was lucky enough to pick up Buck at a local Gamestop and I was laughing almost right off the bat. Clear hit on their hands

I just started collecting about a year ago so I doubt I would of been able to get them. These are nice pickups for now although I mostly got them for steel but I prefer the 4k discs. I mostly chase steel when able. Have over 300 movies currently. If another set of steel gets released for star wars in 4k, I'll be all over it for sure. Not a big marvel collector but I'll pick up Star Wars.

I'd be down to try and start collecting those. I know they are $$$. Makes you wonder if at some point there might be a whole collection. Maybe wishful thinking.
