Okay, I actually played it yesterday at Freeplay. Nintendo Rep was there trying desperately to hand out Yokai Watch hats. =)

I'm sorry to say it was a big negative. The controller cord is 3, maybe 4 feet long. I mentioned this to the rep (She was really nice, btw), and she said to get an extra long HDMI cable. That's great, but it's kinda like telling me to add real Lobster to my Lobster Ramen for better flavor. Regardless of how far I get away from the TV, I'm still gonna be 3 feet from the freaking Console.

I don't know about you, but Super C gets my controller moving in many directions, usually violently, I'd totally be throwing that console around.

Speaking of Super C. The framerate was off. It could have been the TV, but I felt laggy. While yes, the original hardware could do that at times, those times were normally not on the first stage.

Simply put, save yourself some money and buy a Hyperkin Retron. You will be happier.
