Wow, we can collab with artists, freelance writers, musicians, and other talented friends to create original content & make Tiny Cartridge feel even more special! We can also pay our chiptune overlord & columnist Dannel!
Original 3DS Videos
Oh man, we can buy special capture kits for our handhelds, eventually sharing videos from the games we're playing & previewing, with commentary.
About
We write about handheld games on 3DS, DS, PS Vita, Game Boy, GBA, etc. We don't just regurgitate the latest news at Tiny Cartridge; we share what we love about portable games, their developers, and the community.

Hi! We're JC and Eric!
We created Tiny Cartridge five years ago, the most fun site about portable games. We do more than post news; we share what we love with our readers every day: weird imports, indie games, comic artists, chip musicians, and more. We are VERY passionate about creating the kind of handheld gaming site we'd want to read, and we take pride in delivering a blog that's unlike any other out there.
Support Tiny Cartridge with Patreon
Publishing 3-4 posts daily and editing podcasts take time, which we don't have much of -- JC is a full-time dad to twin girls, Eric has an office job, and we take on extra freelance work to pay bills.
With your help, we can spend less time chasing freelance gigs or advertisers, and more time putting together original articles and making Tiny Cartridge rad. Real talk, we'll also have less anxiety about making ends meet.
Patreon allows you to tip us a tiny amount every month ($1 or more) using a credit card or PayPal -- your account won't be charged until the end of the month. You can cancel your pledge at any point if you're low on cash or have a change of heart.
