I have one and I have been enjoying it.
For anyone wanting to try out the games, the community pages have community made games within the browser most of the time: https://community.arduboy.com/c/games/35?ascending=false&order=views

I love a good handheld but am struggling to wrap my brain around when this device would be desirable to use or have around. I can’t think of a time I wouldn’t prefer something the size of an r36s especially with it’s far larger library of games.
Its for people who like simple games (theres over 400+ now) and “game and watch” kind of setup. I like putting it in my wallet and bringing it out when I get bored. It gets something like 8-9 hours of battery life. So much that I forget to charge it for weeks on end.
You can also tinker like crazy. I got a couple of games and apps that work with it. Its all C++ but as long as it runs on an Arduino it can most likely run on the device.
I have a miyoo mini plus. And it doesn’t scratch the itch that the arduboy has with simple/tinker games. Both are made for different reasons.
Hope that answers your question!
Guess it’s just personal preference. I’m generally gaming on the train ride into work so I’ve got a solid 30 minute block to play and have space in my bag for a larger device. I’m also not usually looking to tinker with devices much post initial setup but can understand why someone would enjoy doing so. Thanks for answering, glhf.
Am I crazy or is the aspect ratio on that screen a little weird
No you’re right - it’s 2:1, which is an unusual aspect ratio. But it looks like it’s intended to run games designed specifically for it rather than emulating other systems, so I guess it’s less a drawback and more a neat quirk.
If I can’t play Pokémon Crystal on it, I don’t want it! 🙎🏻 However, I do enjoy seeing new gadgets, and hope this project brings joy to people
