A freaking PORTABLE GENESIS! You know what that means...

ThunderForce III!
Alien Soldier!
Gunstar Heroes!
And a whole bunch of other stuff!

US only. (Contrary to what it says here, but the rest is pretty informative as always on Wikipedia)

The Mega Jet does not have a screen. It's about half as tall as the Nomad and is essentially just a Mega Drive with a pad built into it.

Congrats on getting the Nomad.

Make sure you stock up on batteries though, it eats them like a fat guy inhaling popcorn. :wink:

Actually, it came with the AC Adapter + battery, but the battery's dead and it needs to be plugged in for it to work.

So I'll stock up on those batteries. I know. 3-5 hour battery life.

I'm sure you've already found out, but the screen really isn't quite substantial enough to play shooters. It is very cool, but it is just a little too small and a little (maybe a lot) too blurry (as everyone else here warned me). Still, the idea of it is glorious!

Just a question..there's this AV OUT thing in the back..is that where you plug something into the TV and then it plays on the screen, and the Nomad is like the Mega Jet?

Oh. The battery pack isn't in it yet.

Well, we'll be getting a bag of games too.
I hope some good games are in it! *hopes for Shining Force II and Gunstar Heroes*
