W presentation, w first video of your channel, simple concise and informative. good job🗣️
@@timmyhuynh5539 thanks I really appreciate it. Tryna get better with every video.
👴🏻 thanks young man you just made my grandson Christmas he will finally be able to play Fortnite
Awesome video! Very crisp, concise, each sentence full of information. I did have to check if the video was running at 2x speed lol, great content nonetheless
Yeah whenever I finished the video I think it removed some of the pauses I had in the audio and me talking, which made it seem very fast in some parts. I’m still learning about editing but I really appreciate you watching and the kind words 🫡🫡🫡
your editing is awesome! Nice work.
@@FunkadelicPeach thanks! I’m pretty new to video editing so this compliment means a lot. I hope to improve as I go 🫡
@@BeaskyBoy heck yeah man! Keep it up! Your channel will blow up in no time. The retro handheld community loves eating up new content hahaha
I wanted something up to price range of RP2S but after much deliberation between the RG35XXH or the powkiddy rgb30, down to trimui smart pro or even that microm xu thing, just hours ago before discovering this video i opted for rg35xxh with domestic shipping for 70, seems very reasonable. Probably gonna start with knulli and racing lagoon translation. Can't wait
@@justinwhite797 solid option man! Glad you figured it out, and hope you have fun.
Just putting this out here
For people that say "just use official hardware!" I say they fit different niches. Retro handhelds are generalists, official handhelds are specialists. The 3ds of course specializes in the DS family, but is crap for n64 and beyond. Depending on your retro handheld, you can even play switch! (Can confirm, I have a RP3+ and it can run some switch games) and by extension, just about everything that came before it
It's about what you'd like to play at the end of the day
@@Alanis1337 great point, if I could go back and re upload this, I would def add this. I’ll probably use this comment for a future video. Thanks for watching.
The three power tiersare more like 5 because there's for example a low-medium tier which is basically SNES, PS1 and Sega 32X/CD. Something like the Powkiddy V90 will struggle with these but the AnbernicRG351 will play all of these fine despite being unable to play N64
@@carrot708 yeah you def could add more, I tried to condense into 3 for ease for ppl new to certain stuff.
🙁Wanted the Analogue Pocket, 215 USD.. Just too expensive.. plus the dock which is another 100 bucks.. lol.. soon,, will have to save more..
@@kalulugamer it’s a good device tho, worth the wait. Hope you enjoy it when you get it
Odin 2 is what I’m getting love es-de on it and think it’s worth the money
@@FredMorgan-gb5el Odin 2 is GOATED 🫡
4:12 What is that picture with all the translucent consoles? Where did you find it?

👴🏻 me and buds will finally be able to live out our dreams before we kick the bucket. Should I add it to my will?
@@ttanhunter some devices can even plug up to your oxygen tank 🫡
Just get the Miyoo mini or miyoo plus. Unless a joystick is really important to you then get an anbernic 35xx h or rg353m. Just my opinion.
Yeah those are solid choices, good price and very pocketable. Some ppl need the joysticks so the RG would also work.
Retroid pocket 4 pro because you can on a tv and it plays games up to PS2 and GameCube.
@@Fonz128 one of my fav options tbh. Imma big fan of the RP4P it can get the job done for most.
If you have a PSP or even better a Vita laying around gathering dust, you pretty much have one of these devices already.
@@Breakbeats92.5 to an extent yeah. That’s a great point but for mid - high power systems, the vita doesn’t work. Ps1, N64 and GBA games work great on my vita.
Shit take
I need help. I'm torn between the rg 35 xxsp and the miyoo mini +
@@TauTau12 what are the biggest things your torn between?
@@BeaskyBoy I just don't know which device to get. On a power level they seem pretty similar, the main criteria for me is pocketability and a good enough controls layout so that I don't feel like my hands are cramped in an unconfortable way.
Edit: The consoles I'm looking for are mostly the gba's, snes and if possible some ps1 although that might be a bit of a stretch in terms of those devices performance capabilities
Anbernic RG40XX - H with KNULLI operating system. The screen on the 35 is too small. The KNULLI os makes the device pop.
@@TauTau12 I’d say the SP cause they do very similar stuff, but it has more battery and RAM.
@@Breakbeats92.5 I'm looking more for a vertical type of handheld. I prefer the aesthetics and I feel like the pocketability is way better which is mainly what I'm interested
Hahaha...this gets complicated real fast.
@@jakesmith5278 most complicated choice of my life 🤒
