    My favorite retro video game of all time is Super Mario World for the SNES. My aunt passed away when I was 10. She was a gamer and just purchased the SNES when it came out. She always had to have the latest console. She and I used to game together. She called me up one day to come over and surprise me that she purchased the SNES and we used to play together for hours. She was the reason that I am so passionate about gaming today!

    Yeah agree... not a huge upgrade from the normal RG350.
    Still... it's better in some ways...

    Firstly thanks for the video. I still own my gameboy pocket which I've had for 20 years now and my favourite retro handheld game I still own is Pokémon Yellow. It was cool to have pikachu actually follow you around. If it was favourite retro game of all time it would be a tie between Zelda Ocarina of Time on N64 & Streets of Rage 1 on megadrive. The soundtrack for SoR is still amazing.

    Nice review. One thing that I think people should note is that the RG350M is 2 times the resolution/pixel density of the RG350. Meaning games will be more pixel perfect/less blurred when scaled to fill the screen. I'm not sure whether more pixels/higher res also decreases the speed noticably in games, however. That's something someone should test - framerates on the original vs. the 350m. SOMEONE should do a video comparison... hint. hint.

    Favorite handheld game of all time would be a toss up between Metroid 2 and Legend of Zelda Links Awakening. I'm so grateful Nintendo did the rerelease of Zelda on the switch, but Metroid 2 absolutely deserves one. Amazing game that used to scare the crap out of me as a kid! Plus the ending was so good! Great video!

    Not a big difference in hardware between 2 models, but a half of a price in rubles, which is sensible. Already watched some videos about Chinese handhelds, and comparing to ps vita, which costs same money, i think ps Vita wins. I will read more articles to make a choice

    Hey Doug. I stumbled across this youtube channel. I wanted your opinion on this company: retroboyarcades.com they have some very cool custom made products and their prices seem fair and decent. Maybe you could do a future video about this company or try out one of their products. I found it interesting and I think you will to! They have youtube videos demonstrating their products also: retro boy custom machines. Let me know what you think! Thanx!
