This is great! Before it was just a proposed device that looked too good to be true. But this dummy model makes it feel so much more real! Yeah, the numpad is really nice, but I'm here for the trackball and the paddle/spinner. The CX30 paddle controllers had a very broad sweep so I won't sweat the spinner. The micro SD slot and HDMI out make it special. The shoulder buttons are a nice addition. This could well be my main handheld. I do appreciate an Atari-first system. Let the Nintendo and Sega stuff be an absolute afterthought. I'm here to play Missile Command, Centipede and Breakout. I don't know any Lynx games, but yeah, Lynx and Jaguar support would be really nice as well. I can't wait to learn more!

Might sound silly but the HDMI out is a big deal for me. I like streaming my games to my friends so they know what I'm playing. But I also like portables. But when there's a choice between portable or an HDMI device I struggle to pick between the two. Evercade has that issue for me, I've been waiting for a year, for something to nudge me over the edge and buy one. Also FULL size HDMI is a really good upgrade from other handhelds. Micro HDMI or mini, are really fragile and I hate them. This Gamestation Go is an easy buy. Depending on the final price (in Canada), I can see myself just picking this up right after release. I can't wait to try paddle and track-ball gaming.

Don't really like the arrangement of controls on the left, I think it should be from top to bottom DPad, Trackball and then spinner. A higher DPad would be helpful for people with small hands reaching the shoulder buttons and the trackball being right below would still be usable grasping the controller while moving it with your thumb, ergonomics shouldn't matter much with the spinner as the best way to use it is to grasp it with your thumb anf fingers rather than holding the controller while manipulating it using your thumb.

I hear you. I'm sure no arrangement will be perfect for every user. I personally like the layout after holding it. The spinner/paddle is quite tall, and I feel that placing it anywhere other than at the extreme top would mean it's a bit in the way when reaching things above it.
