From what I can tell, these looked like the Sega Genesis version of the game. Makes sense since the genesis is so easy to emulate, or even run on a SoC. At this screen size, it isn't a bad direction to go honestly. The Super had some ugly sound compression in the original release. Champion was also reasonably decent.

I love at 2:14 they made the side box art exactly like the cardboard boxes Genesis games came later on. The artists did amazing work here. As decent as this looks, I think it's going to have a very limited audience if it is $35-40 like the others. For $20 more you can buy the Capcom Super Pocket Player which has 18 built-in roms (SFII' arcade is one) and itself is an Evercade system greatly expanding its long-value. I prefer the button layout of MyArcade's SFII handheld over other available options and hope they iterate on its design in the future, but I can't see this selling many units because of its release window. Unless it is $15 retail, Capcom Super Pocket just kills it. Releasing last year would have given MyArcade a fighting chance. at least. The SFII Pocket Player is like a portable redesign of that old SFII Champion Edition Plug N' Play (both use Genesis CE!) which is the first time I've had nostalgia for a plug n' play system? Maybe this is an emerging market they're aiming for.

Screen tearing, no Arcade version, bad audio and also 4 double a batteries to power this thing along with no Micro SD Port. I think the Super Pocket Capcom is a much better choice for a handheld since it supports Evercade carts. But this does have some really nice artwork that alone makes this quite collectable and would look good in anyones collection.

Hey, Cristian. Thanks for checking out my videos and for your comment. I'd be glad to help. When the game first powers on, a brief animation resolves to a game select screen with two large buttons stacked one upon the other, with the top one already selected. That top option is SF2: The New Challengers and the bottom option is SF2: Special Champion Edition. If you tap the A button, New Challengers will launch. Once in a game, you can press the HOME button just above the X button on the top-right of the unit, which will return you to the game select screen. If you'd like to play Champion Edition, you need only tap down once on the d-pad before pressing A, and you'll launch the other game. I hope this clarifies the functionality for you. If you have any further questions, you can always reach back out.

So maybe My Arcade should legally change their name to 'My Home Port Disguised as an Arcade' as 'My Liar' seems a bit harsh. LOL.

Would you recommend one over the other based solely on gameplay? Thanks for your time.

Bought this specifically because I played the Genesis versions as a kid and it has the proper button layout. That said, it's the same Genesis SoC with bad sound emulation that we've seen for decades from the likes of AT Games. Also, the dpad is pretty bad. You can't just press a diagonal, it even comfortably roll a quarter circle. You have to like rock the opposite direction and really press through it to get it to register. I shouldn't need to back up and do a half circle for a fireball. And forget about accurate jump ins. After one playthrough my left thumb was killing me because of how much harder I had to work the dpad. Disappointing, I like the aesthetics of the device. I might pop it open and try to modify the dpad if possible, but right now I'd rather play something with a good dpad and the wrong 4+shoulder layout.

Hello! Do you have any idea how the command works? To throw thing or make special move. Sometime its like you cant do much youre just watching the guy destroy you. I can see that you use often the z letter

If I were only going to get one for Mega Man, I'd go with the Pocket. I can't see playing through all of those titles on a little joystick at a mini cabinet.

unfortunately, the pocket was out of my price range, I did find the pico player for only 20 brand new on Amazon, in your opinion, is that worth it or should I look for something else? Genuinely asking BTW. :) @@GenXGrownUp

Certainly better. The compression is part of the encoding, but if you use quality earbuds/phones everything is clearer than the internal speaker for sure.
