Has anyone given the Nano a go? I'm curious, but worried it's actually just too small for anything but novelty.

    It’s cute and surprisingly well built, but at that size it is more of a novelty. If you stick to simple games and you’ve got smaller fingers it’s maybe viable for “5 minutes at the bus stop” type situations.

    If anyone is looking at this and wishing there was something even smaller, have a look at the Thumby, the true handheld for ants.

      I was given the Thumby as a surprise gift recently and I LOVE it! Yes, for 99% of people it’s a silly novelty, but as someone who loves the Game Boy and making hobby games it’s perfect for me!

      I did a short review here. :)

      EDIT: To clarify, the Thumby doesn’t play Game Boy games, I just love small retro style portable consoles.

    That’d make my eyes bleed almost instantly, so nah. Maybe for a “casual flex” between friends and thats it.

    Thinking of maybe picking up two for the kids, 6 and 4. Put some Pokemon or Mario on there and they’d be set.

      I’ve let my 4 and 6 year old nephews play with some of my handhelds, and the Miyoo Mini seemed about the right size for them. The Nano may be too small even for kids that little.

        Good to know, they are pretty much Pokemon and Farming games so the biggest ergonomic question is how well it fits in their hand.
