Arduboy FX-C review: A pocket-sized handheld with a big game library
By
Andrew Liszewski
Kettled twice. Extra chewy, extra trustworthy.
Summary
The Arduboy FX-C is a compact, credit-card-sized handheld gaming console that combines the best features of previous Arduboy models with welcome upgrades. It comes pre-loaded with an extensive library of games and apps, making it ideal for quick gaming sessions. While its power and capabilities are limited compared to modern consoles, its pocketable design and large game library make it an excellent time killer. One of its most compelling upcoming features isn't quite ready for release yet.
Key quotes
· 5 pulledThe Arduboy FX-C comes in a refreshingly pocketable package.
It manages to squeeze the best features of past models and some welcome upgrades into a handheld that's still no larger or thicker than a few credit cards.
It's the best version of the Arduboy so far, particularly for gamers who want to jump into the handheld's ever-expanding library of games and apps right out of the box.
One of its most compelling upgrades isn't quite ready for primetime.
The Arduboy FX-C's power and capabilities are limited but it comes with a big library of games that are fun to explore when you've got a few minutes to kill.
