The headset has already been in the hands of several reviewers, and they’re excited (to say the least). I’m getting ready to start digging through my boxes and looking for my Genesis, and RF adapter. I can’t wait to play Sonic 2 and Toejam and Earl with this awesome headset!
“Joe Montana football never sounded so real. And being able to let my NBA Jam opponent know what I thought of his weak game over Xband is revolutionary.”
