Frequently Asked Questions
How many games are on it?
The game count is in the title — and yes, that is the actual number installed, not a rounded-up marketing figure. Booting it up confirms it.
What are the actual dimensions?
It measures about 3.0" at the widest point, with the rest of the numbers in the specs. Measure your spot against those before ordering — thirty seconds now saves a courier round trip later.
Can I play it on a TV?
Where the listing says TV output, the included cable does it — plug in and it switches over. The handheld screen works fine on its own too.
Does it support extra controllers?
It pairs with additional controllers where listed, so two people can play without sharing. The pairing steps are in the manual.
How long does the battery last?
The runtime is in the specs and depends on brightness and volume. Turning both down a notch is the usual trick for longer sessions.
Is it easy to set up?
Charge it, power on, pick a game. There is no account, no download, and no waiting — which is most of the appeal.
