I'm so happy to finally have a good replacement for my old LDK in this form factor. 😅
super dude
That price tho
Can it play ghost and goblin
after watching your video I pulled the trigger on one, I'm reading some reviews / early impressions now, and I'm sad to see that some sites are claiming this device is overpriced and underpowered, it seems like you're able to run N64 games no problem tho? I'm OK with not being able to run N64 games, but it looks like you're able to run them with decent frames in the video.
My DIY project failed, so I canned the video and bundled it in the buying guide 😒😭
imagine having this device in 90's
You'd probably have arthritis by now with how awkward it is to handle.
Actually it's not too bad unless you're constantly needing to press the shoulder buttons (Wipeout 3, F-Zero etc...).
You’d be burned at the stakes for witchcraft.
Imagine have tis device in 2024 😢😢
I can't wait to get this in my hands. I'm really in favor of the silver. Again the build quality looks good and the shoulder buttons appear comfortable even if you have large hands. The screen looks really good. And I really like that form factor. Thanks for a great video👌🏾
Love your work, Taki. Thanks for everything you do. Just picked one of these up and can't wait to play some older GB/GBC/GBA games in this form factor.
U answered all my possible questions. I am grateful. Keep up the great work!
It’s so cute. Reminds of the Tiger tm games of the 90 but with a real Consol Inside
Hey guys, Taki's rocking the new Anbernic!
I voted up your comment but I’ll admit I have no idea what you said.
Nice
That ldk and the first pocketgo are perfect for up to 16 bit systems, they are so compact and i like the fact that dont come with analogs, feels more authentic
I absolutely love this device. I've had it for about a month now and it's absolutely fantastic. Screen is beautiful. It's portable. And all the games fun perfectly.
Looks awesome !!
Good review, appreciate it. Ive been on the fence for one of these handhelds; seems this may be the way to go for a portable, retro on the go device.
Awesome review! That’s a cool looking handheld.
I badly need to replace my broken RS97. It's amazing how much the market has broken open and is flooded with retro handhelds. Love it. So much support and choice.
Wow!!! So small and packs power. I'll be purchasing this For my son to play all the pokemon and to grow into other gamed. Sharp!! Thanks for sharing
I know I'm very late to the party, but I ordered one of these earlier today on sale from Anbernic directly. Can't wait to get the Adam CFW installed and start playing some GB, GBC & GBA games on this device. I even ordered a grip for it from a chap over in Australia. Great video as always. 👍👍
It does look great, but I'm not sure it fits comfortably people with Donkey Kong-sized hands like me.
I wish they'd put console sized buttons on them too
Even your gf will say, it doesn't feel great in her hands.
I ordered one and have giant hands so I'll let you know how it feels
@Bryce Czirr I have 2
@Bryce Czirr Portability. A Vita is too cumbersome for a pocket.
I Looooove this one soooo much. My favourite handheld !
imagine showing someone this when the bittboy v2 came out. It's so interesting to see how far we have gone.
This looks fantastic
Wow hermano como ha crecido tu canal, felicidades!!!!
The boi is rocking with dat new Anbernic!!!
I've made a meme
Couldnt believe me eye holes when I saw the thumbnail this thing looks awesomeee😲
"I am the eye hole man I am the only one who is allowed to have eye holes get on up out of here"
Are you a Rick and Morty fan?
@@JonLa89 lmao yea😂😂
Really cool! 65 with shipping included would be the max price I'd pay.
Cant wait for mines to come in!
I agree with Taki, it’s good but for the price you’d might as well just get a Retroid Pocket 2
Is it better?
@Michael Walker thanks.
@Michael Walker super Mario code leaked and this is a complete recompile of the game to run natively on the rg350. It isn't emulated. No saveststes. It's the full game perfectly smooth with saves. Insane really
@@bideomanlol th-cam.com/video/Tdf5wfnvMNk/w-d-xo.html this is the newer version rg351
After having the retroid pocket 2 for almost a month now, I can for sure say the device is a beast 👍👍👍 GBA, NES, SNES, DS, GBC, and NEO GEO all run flawlessly at 60fps. Just be ready for a 2 month delivery process
Thank you so much for this video 👍🏻👌🏻✌🏻
Taki, your killing me over here. I end up wanting all of these devices you show. 😟😟😭😭😭
I love that the buttons are below, than on the side
This looks crazy
I love how every device Anbernic makes, their logo seems to get smaller every time! 😂😂😂😍
If they keep this up how we would know if someone is rocking the new anbernic
I think it makes sense to skip HDMI out on devices of this specific form factor; for the more GBA style shapes, you can essentially just hold them like a controller, so it makes sense to be able to plug them into the TV, but one like this would make for an awful 'controller' experience I reckon, like an even more cramped GBA SP.
좋아서 두번 봤습니다
잘보고 갑니다
2020년 흥하세요
of course
retro community:
uh, this thing is ugly, repetitive, & expensive
.
also retro community:
gotta collect them all
I'm so happy that hobbits now have a system. Seriously, my hands cramp on the 350m. I can't imagine how fast it would happen on this.
They always make this for little people.
@@solkalibri1376 I mean, these _are_ designed and made in China, where the average person is smaller than people in other parts of the world.
@@solkalibri1376 Typical Asian supremacy. A true micro-aggression.
Anbernic is so thoughtful to little people.
Increíble, aúnque no me entiendes te quiero decir q gran trabajo
Nice vid.
Just placed a order any info on how to get n64 or just Mario 64 working properly? as I seen some other videos with n64 and it don’t look as smooth you’re footage
I still love mine in October 2023. I prefer this to all other emulators I have. In terms of portability and accessibility, nothing beats the 280V.
Anbernic. Please release a GBA SP form factor device. I recently bought an RG351M and I would still buy one. You could include a bigger screen, the buttons would be more comfortable, you might even have room for stereo speakers. The original SP is the device that I carried around the most due to the protected screen and ease of fitting it in a pocket.
What a cute little device!
Anbernic Handhelds are very cool
damn u, Taki... i saw this on the anbernic official store page this morning and i told myself to stay away from it, regardless of how great it looks. i already own 10+ retro handhelds and i don't suppose this little guy would be able to do anything those guys can't. but... the way u present it, man, the way u talk about it, i just cannot resist now. thank you anyway, Taki, awesome review as usual, pleasure is all mine.
You have as many devices as me! I've tried and failed to rationalize using so many by now designating each one to a specific game series instead of just a system. XD
@@TakiUdon interesting approach, i will definitely give it a try. (^_^)
This is adorable. I would have bought this if Retroid Pocket 2 never existed.
I recently discovered your channel and subscribed. Big handheld fan here, finding your reviews very informative. I'm curious: Which handheld would you recommend if my main priority is Castlevania Symphony of the Night? (I've got a few PSPs, but they're currently 'lost' at the bottom of a cluttered closet.) Thanks in advance & take care!
Hand cramps galore. We need a RG300 successor.
If only SM64 could run that good on the other Anbernic devices ! Nice little product, thanks Taki.
It does!
Thanks Taki! Another reasonably priced handheld! Your point about reducing them to $65, might induce many more to buy them. The screen on your review was looking good. The other thing, considering your mention of Famicom in the title made me wonder just what this can handle. I did see an obvious 8-bit Super Mario Bros., but some of the others definitely looked 16-bit, & FFIX came out on the original Playstation. If you want to stress test, speed test, this, I'd love to see it. Even if I never buy it, myself.
Ah, that was mainly just referring to the color way. This device can do many systems well and there's a detailed set of videos linked in the description box for what you're looking for (PS1/Genesis/SNES/ETC).
@@TakiUdon Thanks for the clarificaations, Taki!
Can't wait to get mine
I just other mind and wanted something cool and vintage quality device handheld I can play with I'm in the doctors office or on my break at work lol
As so many others have said: impressive, but simply too small. I’m still looking for something as good as the RG 350, but larger.....please let me know if you have any suggestions.
agree with some other comments - for this price you can get Retroid 2. Better form factor overall and more comfortable
I love mine almost more than my 350M!
I ordered updated one they all look cool
Looks awesome, and Mario64 seemed to run perfectly. But I have no idea how you played it without the analog. That just sounds so frustrating!
Why is it so tiny? I want an XL Retroid pocket 2 because I have BIG HANDS.
Very nice!
Looks like a nice game and music device for on the go
One question: when playing music: does the screen turn off to save on battery?
Since it has rumble check out Legend of the River King 2 GBC with the rumble enabled by changing the cartridge type with the gameboy rom Analyzer for windows and change it to 1EH to force rumble. You can also check out Nushi Tsuri Adventure-Kite no Bouken with the English patch for Gameboy color. I recommend the Fisherman's challenge trilogy for Playstation as well. I don't have this and haven't tried but it is something to toy with. It worked on the Pow Kiddy V90.
I'll wait for the NES style version
Отлчны девайс! Обязательно куплю :)
My hands cramp just looking at this
When will Anbernic have a handheld that will run N64 games at full speed, including Goldeneye?
A mis amigos y a mi nos gustan mucho tus videos, nos separa el idioma pero tenemos el mismo gusto por los video juegos, añade subtitulos en español, seria buena idea ✌🏼😎
How would you compile sm64 on your own and what emulator will be best for this?
It was almost perfect! the ergonomics was painful for a medium/long session.
good video taki... is there a custom firmware like the LDK?
Hello. Can you add a little rotor inside the next project to simulate rumble pack/ vibration....I have seen this ability on any retro-console yet.
I want this so badly
I didn’t think I would want another tiny handheld more than the rg280m... but damn
I'm fast af boi
Not to be confused with the "Retro FC"
wow this one looks so good though
Keep up the awesome work. Can you link when playing Pokémon?
Great device that guarantees hand cramps.
Who else is waiting for that 'PSP' like device?
That would be amazing
Me
Just get a cellphone and a controller
Once that happens is when I will buy it for may family.
@@onion_____ I've got those but not practical when carrying out and about
I just ordered this thing. I don't know if I did the right thing, I hope I don't regret it. I also ordered a Super Console X Pro so the 280V could serve as a secondary unit. My worry is that the screen might be too small.
Any chance of doing a step by step tutorial on how to port Mario 64 over to these devices
YES. This is a device I have been waiting for for 8 years. Since the psp go, no handheld has been able to match the weight and size of the psp go. (The gameboy micro advance screen is just too small to deal with for me). FINALLY someone makes a portable gaming device that is.... portable!!!! I never understood all of these' portable' game systems and smart phone game controllers that don't fit in a pocket/are too heavy. I want a device I can always have in my pants pocket, in case I get stuck somewhere unexpectedly I wont be bored. If I don't care about portability, I can use my pc and tv at home. I just hope the dpad holds up. Does anyone know if it is possible to use 2 of these to play multiplayer?
I wish they take the form factor of RG300 but for the 2 triggers in the back. Instead use the rg280v's triggers. And add 2 psp joysticks under the dpad and buttons, and add instead of that 1 speaker on the right side. Add another on the left. Just for dual stereo
I always wanted a GBA micro. Now you can almost have one that plays n64 games!
What's the beat em up from 7:12? Looks great.
Hi, While playing a Playstation 1 game,
do you by any chance know which key combination you need to press to exit the game
and return to the menu and then to the initial list of playstation 1 titles ?
Man, if this was cheap, I'd get it just for 3rd gen pokemon rom hacks on the go with real buttons. That screen looks so good!
i know you might have covered this in another video, but im just starting in the retro portable console scene. but i love the design of this one. does it do DS?
No
Hello! I am looking for a horizontal handheld, that's 50 - 60 us bucks. It should at least run gba, and a big screen would be nice. What's the best one for me? Btw I'm using a amazon gift card so preferably a amazon link would be nice. Thanks!
For 80$ just get a retroid 2. Mine was just delivered and I have not been happier with a handheld
that looks delicious ^_^ powkiddy is doing a similar device with an inset joystick and 4 trigger buttons on the back, not seen footage of it running yet tho. In your video towards the end what is the side scrolling beatemup with the winged female warrior? not seen it before looked fun ^^
Guardians
@@TakiUdon Many thanks sir Taki Udon i shall check it out ^_^ cheers 🍻👍
I bought a RG350M a few months ago, and I was pleasantly surprised by the build quality. This device looks no different. Really impressive stuff.
I bought a vita more recently, and I kind of like the tactile feedback of the RG350 better, as well as the size of the buttons/inputs. But, I’m glad I have a Vita, as it’s just a more capable system.
Can you fit a larger battery inside? 1000mah and 4 hours feel a bit on the short side. Of course it's not like I will spend 5 hours playing on the thing, but I would appreciate if it had a few hours more battery life.
When I enter the emulators and choose an emulator I can no longer see the list of games and select a game that starts. Only folders open and I can't start any games! What have I unintentionally changed, how can I get back to playing?
@takiudon do you know the difference between the one from the official website and the one they are selling on whatsko gaming?
For n64, they should make it so that if you hold the trigger that isn't used by the n64 controller, the dpad switches to the joystick
@Taki Udon Hi Taki, I know that you have both RG300 as well as RG280V. May I know which device has a better screen? I know that RG280V screen looks saturated and lovely.
Show a kid this in 1997, Back when we thought a tamagotchi was amazing
It still is!
I would buy this .👍
It’s nice but the price doesn’t make too much sense. Appreciate your honest review.
Great review. Is it possible to install a CFW?
It will be an antique next month, brah.
Don't know about the "mainstream countries" (US, UK, China, etc...) but in Brazil, it's easy to find a RG350P for cheaper than the all-new RG280V.
My cousin's parents got him a Sup Portable Gamebox, and i was thinking of giving him something better.
Awesome device and video !
I know that NDS emulation might not be perfect for the size, but can you share any nds performance numbers ?
There is no NDS capability on this device.
Buying tomorrow. Done deal. My Odroid go is showing it's age, even with custom firmware. My kids cracked the screen on my rg300 when I let them borrow it. So, I've been looking for a good device that isn't landscape. Perfect.
I'm wondering how does this compare in size to a psp go? Also is the rg280v a more capable emulation device than the psp go? Thank you, love the bids Taki. The best out there.
It is, but the other side you will lose the psp games capability
