Updating helped, but there's still a delay in the sound effects. Not button presses, just the menu sound effects when scrolling.

I'm not one to ever use screen protectors on my devices, but since we got the "official" screen protectors included because of the delay, I thought I would. That didn't last long. The protectors is slightly smaller all the way around from the glass/plastic of the screen space, so it's tough to get it centered. Even then, the raised look isn't attractive to me, so I took the protector off. Anyone else using the screen protector?

Didn't even know it was an option. I wouldn't though.

It's definitely my favorite game of the month so far.
I haven't done any of the Indie Heroes sets yet, but this definitely motivates me to start buying them.

I installed one, but, as you said, it's not centered well. It also is a glare magnet, though I installed it right away, so I can't compare it to the screen itself in that regard. My Steam deck has the glare resistant screen, so that's not a fair fight, but I don't notice as much glare on the Switch either, and it has a protector.

I need to start treating the games of the month as Steam demos. If the game is worthy, I'd rather play it there, and I suspect the developer gets more money for it too.

For each individual sale absolutely. But I'm sure the number of copies Blaze produces means they get a decent paycheck either way.

Mine too! The Piko 3 specially has me interested to see how full 3D games handle on the Evercade with '40 Winks.' This is the one, correct me if I'm wrong.

In my opinion, really solid stuff considering each cart is still only $20. There will be a second showcase in July too, to announce the rest of the 2023 carts. The Indie Collection 3 is already slated for February 2024.

Oh, I'm pumped for the first Duke collection. I had a lot of fun with Duke Nukem 2 back in the day.

Duke 1 and 2 are the only reason I bought Duke 3D Atomic Edition back in the day.

Old apogee games were so awesome.

So far of the out-of-print carts, the only one that has spiked so far is the technos (console) collection 1.

Which is bizarre given most of those games are available on modern consoles too
