Letcool 350JP game console does double duty as handheld, digital camera

For the KIRFsters and Crapgadgeteers of the world, whipping up a retro game console is a quick and easy way to make a couple bucks. Case in point: the LetCool 350JP features a 3.5-inch screen, 4GB of storage, microSD card slot, TV out, FM tuner, an unspecified still camera, and compatibility with NES, SNES, Sega, and GameBoy ROMs (not to mention MP3 audio and AVI video). And the price of all this... stuff? $76. We'll let you search your soul and decide for yourself it it's worth the cost. Available now from Etronix.

@rommel I'd rather buy a Nintendo or something like that. I dont trust all these cheapo consoles you know..........

[jrm125 Posted Jul 14th 2010 5:58PM]

@rommel

It plays ROMs. I'd take this over a Kinect.

@jrm125

It will probably outsell the 360 in Japan.

"does double duty as handheld, digital camera"

... and plant.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who thought it was a game system cleverly disguised as artificial flora.

@kdilkington

True that! I tought they were talking 'bout the plant XD Would be weird.

Anyways $76 sounds like a good deal to me.

Hey, if it let's us relive the old days of Nintendo glory, it can't be bad.
Tempted to buy one to play Super Metroid and F-Zero!

[mikebola Posted Jul 14th 2010 7:23PM]

It slices, it dices, it juliennes!

[Plothole Posted Jul 14th 2010 10:21PM]

But does it blend?

[TheIndyGamer Posted Jul 14th 2010 7:46PM]

its just an emulator handheld with a camera and tv-out. What is so special about that?

[Plothole Posted Jul 15th 2010 1:58AM]

@TheIndyGamer
The second player option seems kinda nifty.

[IMarius Posted Jul 14th 2010 7:49PM]

if they get linux on this like my dingoo i will buy it for sure, at the moment there is problem with mapping the buttons (the left and right trigger is mapped wrong so it sucks for snes ) ,

but i do like the look of it and it is fairly cheap

It's that simple.

crapgadget indeed. :p

[Rd Vortex Posted Jul 14th 2010 11:21PM]

The console's called "Letcool"? Are they trying to hint that it's prone to overheating and you have to let it cool properly? ;)

[wopper Posted Jul 14th 2010 11:55PM]

WOW. The AD REALLY wanted that plant in that shot.

[aaronlhall Posted Jul 16th 2010 2:17AM]

So, does anyone have any experience with the Etronix company? I checked out this game system yesterday, and to my surprise received an email informing me that I had purchased the system through Paypal and it would be to my home in Ontario in three days. The only problem is, I live in the States, and the ship name was not mine. I contacted them to inform them of some sort of error, and they promptly assured me that I had purchased the item. WTF mate?
