Is there a list of the actual included games somewhere public?

Oof. $110 delivered to Texas. Unfortunately, I suspect that it's actually worth it.

Other than "Q2 2023" (which is, as far as I can tell, nearly over), is there an indication of when this will really ship?

It's a pretty good cartridge to have. Lots of games and you can set a favourite folder on your SD2IEC which will show up in the menu's, play a random game with the * key (or set it to play a random game at start up), in the game list press shift and a letter to jump to games starting with that letter. The built in file browser for SD2IEC works nicely too along with the memory expansions. Some good utils and programming cartridges included with it and various test programs.

Is is significantly better than the Penultimate+? It's quite a bit of cash for what might be a fairly minor upgrade.

Mine just arrived early (initial estimate was next Monday). Well packaged along with a bit of “swag.” Very nice. I’ve only had a bit of a play with it but everything looks great so far. I do not own the previous version so I can’t speak to how much it is different.

Here's what it does....

More games, more utilities, file browser built in and my favourite feature is the random game runner.
