It always ends up being between NFSU2 and Midnight Club 3 for people, I find!

It is crazy how these two always get the votes!

I’m curating my ROMs as I type this

GameCube performed so beautifully, you won’t regret it for a second! And if you have any GCN game recommendations for me, send them over!

Thank you Coelacanth!!!

I don’t think I play enough retro games to warrant owning one of these

The joke is that 90% of the people who buy these don’t either! They just spend all their time setting things up ‘just so’, setting up new front-ends, tweaking settings, scraping covers then curating ROMs lists :P

Some Vita titles are working a dream, but you’re right…it needs time and care to get it to what we’re used to on other systems! I just reviewed the Anbernic RG Vita Pro a week or so ago, and some of those games ran so well. First time I’d ever played Gravity Rush and I’m now obsessed!

Oh you made the right choice! I’ve had a few black handhelds I have reviewed, but I have long since started asking for other colors. The black (at least with glass fronts) smudge and fingerprint soooooo much

Your 16bit colors are much nicer!

Thank you so much!

Glad you enjoyed it :)

I’ll let Utkarsh know that it is GameNative you’ve been enjoying the most on there!

I’ve been thoroughly loving my PSP game library on mine :)

The size is wonderful. Having the same screen size as the Switch Lite, but being AMOLED and 120Hz means it is ‘the’ way to enjoy Switch games. Still, if you wait and keep an eye on the second-hand market as time goes by! The RP5 is also absolutely adored by the public and I have seen multiple posts on a few social media spaces where people get them at great prices when second-hand!

The crazy thing to me is how much I love this device. I was sent a Odin 3 Max to review toward the end of last year, which is by all metrics a far, far more powerful and capable handheld. But using them side-by-side, Retroid just nails that ‘fun’ feeling and aesthetic that the more mature designs and looks miss (if that makes any sense?!)

It is truly a lovely handheld, and you’d know that with the G2! My friend from Retroid told me they do hope to bring them back, one day, but who knows how that’ll go with current market conditions :(

^ That sparkling color in the front glass front is just perfection!!!

Which color G2 did you opt for?

“…despite the stupid claim…”

Oh come on. I don’t even know you, but I know you’re better than this kind of comment on here. It doesn’t make you appear smart. Or cool. Or funny. It makes you look like a jerk.

This was a review about a ‘retro handheld’. It is a very specific product in a pretty damn specific field. I actually thought my statement, in the context of that review, was obvious to anyone. I guess you’d prefer to get hung up on semantics. Of course the Vita plays the Vita’s entire library, do you actually think I didn’t know that? I find that incredible if so.

When looking at retro handhelds, none do. When you look at the most powerful desktop PC, none do. Were you taking that one short tiny little throwaway line literally because English is a second language to you? I can understand if so, since it is for me also. Sometimes English can be tricky that way, things you might want to take literally are not so.

If not, you’re just getting hung up on the most ridiculous little line. Don’t be like this in the future, especially here on Lemmy, this is more of a community than other places online, this trashy Discord/Reddit nastiness doesn’t belong here.

Thats AYN’s Thor! And it is amazing. Perfect as a modern-day 3DS replacement, with some slight caveats

If you’d like to read my review on them, I was sent one last year to review :)
