ALL-STAR SPORTS Pixel Pocket Pro | NOT Just Your Average Sports Collection

GenXGrownUp | December 25, 2025



Shop now » https://amzn.to/4pQlY8i
The My Arcade line of new Pixel Pocket Pro keychain units are now available. As we work our way through the entire line, we’ve come to the All-Star Sports edition. Jon initially dismissed this one as just being a run-of-the-mill sports collection, but not only is it NOT that, but is actually something much more interesting!

    i bought it and 'm waiting for delivery, i think it's more attractive if it's in the pocket player pro size, as i've the tetris/sf pocket player pro ver., larger screen better

    BJ's wholesale club inlcudes the Sports Pixel Pocket pro with their other My Arcade pocket bundles — Atari pocket pro + case + sports pixel pocket pro for $39.

    @GenXGrownUp in darts you said you don’t get much better than bulls eye… wrong, bulls eye is only worth 50 points, where as treble 20 is worth 60, and treble 20 is that tiny sliver in the middle of the 20 points, the bigger sliver at the top of the 20 is double 20 then treble is the smaller one father down, and to win a game of 301 or 501 the final dart must go into a double or a treble depending on your preferred rules!
    I just realized you have a Steve Austin bionic man in orange on your shelf with the bionic eye you could look through and bionics on his arm and leg, with the transparent windows, I had one of those as a kid back in England

    I made up reasons not to watch this one yesterday as I am not really into the sports games. I should have just watched this as you very seldom lead me astray. The graphics were way better than i thought they would have been. The majority are just quick runs that would have me giving them "Just one more play " to beat my high scores. I didn't see anything saying it saved high scores? I could see this unit spending time in the bathroom, lol. Anyway, tgank you for putting this out. Money is super tight this year, but i can put this on a 'Wish List' and hope for the best.
    I hope when all is said and done you release a video with all of these together but as a ranking video, which would little Jonny have liked from best to worst? Keep up the good work Jon!

    Cool idea for a sports mini handheld but feels like a missed opportunity that they don't allow you to complete in multiple events with an aggregated score like the Epyx Sports Games titles. This is more like a practice mode. Keep up the awesome work Jon!

    Oh it's unexpectedly cool. There are many Wii-style sports mini-games… it's fun and perfect for a keychain game.
    The screen is nice too. It seems bigger than the others, or am I wrong?

    It's not bad. It surpassed my expectations! It looks like a fun, little, time killer. Something you might use while waiting at doctor's office, or bus stop.

    ordered from the link! (didn’t hurt that I had a $25 Amazon credit because of an order they messed up)

    The quality of the visuals and sound on this show shows you that it’s not the hardware that hurt many of the other pixel pocket pros, it’s been the emulators and/or roms that they’ve chosen for many of them. I had certainly been intrigued by this one and had high hopes for it; it turns out they went in a slightly different direction than I was expecting, but not a bad one by any means, especially for a unit the small and portable. I’m really looking forward to giving the little curling game a whirl

    Looks fun, especially Curling. There’s just so much out there, begging for my meager wages! Granted, I felt that way as a kid looking at the back of the G. I. Joe packages or the Sears catalog. I make a little more than that $3 weekly allowance but man, the troubles are still the same!

    I was expecting these to be the Jaleco NES games that My Arcade have put out a few times before under the All Star Sports branding. I have the Pocket Player of it they released a few years ago and do enjoy.

    These games on the other hand seem to be the type you find on kids devices like Lexibooks or Plug N Plays sold in child sections of department stores. In fact I feel I've seen them before on those devices as they look very familiar. Not a bad time waster although I would have preferred the Jaleco games.
