Data East Nano Player Review - ALL NEW from My Arcade Dreamgear!

After years of nothing new, My Arcade arcade cabinet toys are back on store shelves. In this review, we take a look at the next in the line of the new offerings, the Nano Player. This model is the Data East Hits variety, and boasts not only Data East titles, but also 200 more "games."

What could this new form factor mean for the future of arcade toy releases and collecting? How does it stack up to other units, and was this worth the wait?

Great video! Thanks for the review. And thank you for playing OutRun!

[robertquail]

Thank you. This was something I was interested in. I liked the USBC option so I can hardwire them into my full size arcade cabs. Thanks so much.

[ChristopherSobieniak]

Thanks, I saw this at Target right now and had to remind myself how these really are.

Although I enjoy the singular My Arcade prayers (which already includes previously purchasing Burger Time), , the convenience alone in having these Data East NES titles on the Nano has a great value at just $25 (the lowest price I've seen in stores, thus far) and works for either a gift or as an addition to my own collection.

Thanks for the great review as always.

Just got my Replicade Missile Command in the other day.. live those Replicades.. wpuld like to add this one to add to my collection of small arcade cabinets

[kevinlawson]

One of the more surprisingly good ports of BurgerTime is on the Intellivision, it's fun with good sound and also good animations.

can this have new roms installed via usbC?

[fruitman]

Awesome hopefully we can see some brand new stand alone titles !!

[ethanshellington]

Great review! Gotta love the curly monkey's!

[adamchoi]

Sweet now us retro guys can. Get a gold chain to wear these around our necks like flavor flav😂

I have collected all the arcade games from My Arcade. Then last week I found two different versions of Tetris that are not the Classic one and not the Pro one that just came out. They both have 200 or 300 games on them, I don't know if these are an early prototype for the pro player line (I hope ) or just some version that I have not seen yet, I also found a Mega Man that is not the Pro player ones that just came out. I have searched the internet and cannot find out what these are, they come in My Arcade boxes.

I was curious to see this Data East review. I remember as a kid playing Bad Dudes! On a side note...i was overseas and bought some hand hald system that has Nintendo...Super Nintendo..Sega Gensis...and Neo Geo games as well as old school Gameboy games all in one.

I went nuts once i saw it had Mike Tysons punch out and Super Ghouls and Ghosts for sega. The one game from Neo Geo called Metal slug made my $30.00 purchase well invested!

Hi John, you forgot to mention these "new gen" cabs have cheap-ish looking stickers on the sides instead of the more polished look of the previous ones, which is really what made the My Arcade products stand out for me. Seems like a cost saving thing.

[BrookeandCorey]

Can you please review The all star stadium micro player

[QunMang]

Looks about the size of a NeoGeo mini. That "coin door" sticker- not deep enough for something more realistic, but un(?)intentially hilarious having a tiny sticker represent a coin door. :D

Also, probably just me but I kept hearing "Mo" when you were saying "mow". Did Mo hear the same? :)

[cryptocoffee]

Good review. I'm excited to get mine now, and even more satisfied that I didn't go for the Pico versions. I hope they come up with more offerings early next year with something different perhaps.

[BrookeandCorey]

Hey Jon it’s Jayden your buddy it has been a long time since we talked

[tree_riot]

Will you get your Cory’s (sp?) out of it ya think?

[fruitman]

Are these smaller than the other stand alone titles ?
