Thanks! Yeah, I wish they were backlit as well. Apparently the battery life on these things is phenomenal though, so a backlight would probably affect that.

Speaking of the lack of NGPC game reviews, you should do up some reviews on the games when you get them.
I looked at his other stuff and it was mostly SNES RPGs that were going for a little more than what I wanted to pay. There were similar bundles when I looked, but they were going for like $30 to $40 before shipping costs.

I'll try to get some reviews up once I get some time with the games. :)

I've heard great things about Gals Fighters. You would thing fighters that use two buttons would be rather boring, but from what I hear they are all decent to great on the NGPC.

Gal's Fighter is one of my favorite fighters on the NGPC. It's easy to pull off awesome-looking combos, which are really fun to watch. I've been playing the Pocket a lot more lately. I'm trying to build a collection for it; it's one of my favorite handhelds. MoTM is also an awesome game. I'm going to get Biomotor Unitron, Dive Alert, and Faseli! soon.

Is Biomotor Unitron the game that's been compared to Pokemon? I remember reading about it years ago and being pretty interested in it. Also, Faselei! looks pretty fun too. The gameplay looks pretty unique from what I've seen on Youtube.

I have probably played about 30 hours or so of NGPC and my original 2 AA batteries havent ran out yet. I've also not found the lack of a backlight to be an issue, despite being used to playing a DSi on 'OHMYGODMYEYESTHEYBURN' brightness settings. Its a lot more visible than the old game boys ever were.

Yes it is. I've been pretty interested in it myself. I personally haven't got into Faselei myself, I find it a bit dull, but I seem to be the exception to the rule.

Maybe I can emulate NGPC games on the PSP I traded for lately. But that won't be as cool as the Real McCoy you've got over there. :?

Hmm, good job. I was able to get a loose silver one, with 16 games for $70
unfortunatly, I didnt realize that half the damn ngpc library is fighting games, I was never fond of those.
