Now this is something I'd start a retro collection for. Waiting on a NES or SNES, Megadrive or Master system release though. Looks cool and wouldn't might a little RGB either.

Clients ask us 'What is the best way to keep my GB Operator in mint condition?' & our official recommendation is to have a tiny Terrako nearby at all times, like @kainoahs_mods does. It shoots lasers, plays you a lullaby and - oh - did we mention it's tiny? Frightening stuff!

Message received! Seems soft resetting and multiple instances of the device are more popular and requested features than we ever thought before. Thank you @EvoCapture1 and everyone else for bringing this to us. We’ll check if it can be a part of the Operator app & roadmap 🙌🏻.
Got a reply from @meet_epilogue and it seems they didn’t know about the demand for soft resetting and the ability to use multiple of their devices at once, if my friends and fellow Pokémon players out there could like and retweet it would show the demand from our community T.I.A.
