Got mine yesterday and it's already my favorite handheld I have ever had. I had the SP back in the day so I might be biased. I'm glad it didn't come with a analog stick. I know, less functionality, but I like the SP look and all the systems I want to play on it don't need one.
Did you tried alternative firmwares ? The stock os is far from being the best. KorikiOS seems like a very good choice to enhance the overall experience (I already have it installed on my rg35xx and it's way better than the stock os)
I like the fact that they've improved on the SP, namely a real headphone jack, but I honestly wouldn't bother unless they had an XL version. Those of us who played the SP back in the day don't have our youthful eyesight anymore. Actually, I started needing bifocals before the end of the SP run. We also a have money. I mean, unlike teenagers. We also want to relive our childhood or young adulthood, and to do that we need a bigger screen.
You wouldn’t bother, that doesn’t mean others shouldn’t bother. It’s an amazing console, and the screen is perfect. Sounds like you have eye sight issues, go get a jumbo sized Nintendo switch or something
WHOA! I never said no one wouldn't like this device! I'm just talking about a version of this device with a bigger screen would be helpful for people in my age group. Actually, many people would like a version of this with a bigger screen. Please don't add details to what people are saying that were never there. Seriously, it's like some people are cherry picking what I'm saying and interpreting it however they wish possibly because they are too lazy to read all of what a person says. It creates a false narrative. It's on you if you don't want to read all of it, but it's not right to just guess the rest of what's being said and hold someone to a fictitious fabrication.
Would like to see a demonstration on not only using Bluetooth controllers but also playing with them on the TV aswell like multiplayer. Curious to find out
I actually came across a wild Powkiddy V90 in the wild a few days ago for $20 Canadian, so I jumped on that. The RG35XX from last year was my first and only Anbernic, I was interested in the RG35XX SP but now I'm not so sure... I think I want the cute little RG28XX instead!
Thank you very much for been the only honest person reviewing this. Im not saying he is 'dishonest' but Sonic love for example was hyping this so much in his video but when it came to 'God of War'' he merely showed the title screen. I think this was a bit disappointing as it didnt truly showcase the power or lack of. Not to blow smoke up your warp pipe but i'll stick to your channel in future.
I would love to see you try out the new Knulli custom firmware. It does a lot more and a lot better than the stock OS. In fact the device really shines with it. It now supports even 32 portmaster titles.
Having it I don't think it gets that warm. When they start exploding I'll worry. I only am playing PS1 and down though, no N64 or NDS. I have been playing Stardew Valley on it and it gets warm but not at all hot.
Hi ! Thanks for the video. When will you do a review about the Retroid Pocket flip ? if i remember correctly you ordered one on release right ? Thanks!
Hey man, I have been following your channel for years, good work! What's your recommendation for an emulation handheld that's easily available in Europe (no direct ordering from China) at the moment and has a decent button quality and layout (like easy accessible shoulder buttons)? Need something to kill some time at work and on the plane :)
Obviously this is just speculation on my part, but I always assumed it was because most of their devices are purchased for Retro gaming which starts with "R". Could have also just been something they never really thought about
@@foundationsk8allday I thought the same thing too maybe in the beginning they wanted to call the company “retro game” but then they’ve chosen to go for the quality and use a more appealing name? Maybe a name that sounds like German? :)
If i where to get me one of these I would probally want use it for GB,GBC and GBA the most. I would like to see some gameplay videos of gameboy color, and regular game boy also maybe game gear, master system, wonder swan and neo geo pocket.
I get a lot of tiny emulation handhelds and don't use them long. I think this is the one I'll use for a long time. I had the SP as a kid and it was my favorite handheld of all time. I've had it for a day and am already playing Stardew Valley on it!

Press the on/off screen in games that need an analog stick. Then the dpad will work as the analogue stick. Wave Race will work with the dpad then. ;)
And R2 is also a toggle for the C buttons
Awesome video as always Mr wicked
Press the power button to switch dpad from dpad to analogsticks vice versa
New drinking game.. drink everytime he says "Lets"
Good luck!
I believe if you click the power button in n64 it will change from yellow dpad to the analogue stick so not a big deal
Mine is in the mail and cant wait, well i can because i have to 😁🙏🏽ok ok nuclear strike 64 is one of my new old favourite games now 🙏🏽
I have one of these on the way, the transparent blue version.
Whole reason why I want this is because it doesn't have the analogue sticks. I have wanted a SP form for years so I can just put in my pocket and go.
But i want it with the analog stick? Do you have any recommendations?
Gameboy Advance SP Clones some of them are great 👍...

There are other devices for you then

Nice video, can't wait for mine to arrive! Btw did you turn off the overlays? Normally GBA games should have set a GBA SP Overlay by default
Maybe he's just being on the safe side, don't forget Wario have teams of lawyers.

Yes, but... The battery holder is a bit cheap and makes creeking noises when you squeeze the device in your hands.
This is a great (interesting) handheld.
Nice video..i ordered it yesterday..

only problem i got with the device is that this time they gave the cpu no heatshield and its right against the battery ...
there are a couple videos showing how to fix it cheap
yes, i saw there are same workarounds, but it might not be a good construction

@@kllrbeas Do you have a link to one of those videos? I can't find one when I try to search for one
There was a post on Reddit where someone already has one that exploded. Don't know why though.
Hi ! Thanks for the video.
When will you do a review about the Retroid Pocket flip ?
if i remember correctly you ordered one on release right ?
Thanks!
Atomiswave games like metal slug 6 have chronic slowdown on boss levels
What about Neo Geo Metal Slug?
Are you from NL? :) I think the accent is spot on.
Anbernic really needs to work on their OS.
Does the audio have the anbernic crackle when headphones plugged in or did they figure it out?

Due to the lack of dual analog sticks, the games that can be played on this device is limited. I do like the clam style.
Find it weird they did not added a small joystick solution.
The fact they put DS emulation on this device is even more confusing 😮😂 smh
@@HUYI1
Ikr. DS games like The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass will never work on this device.
They put a cool fix for it. Just press power button to switch buttons from stick mode to dpad mode
Kindly review the Porodo Gaming Arkos Retro Game Console 3.5 inch
Wait whut ? no idea what version you mean 😅
After all this years I’m still trying to figure out why a company that has a name starting with “A” as anbernic has a letter “R” as logo…😮

Can you use two 512 micro SD cards for.roms and os?
Maybe but it's unlikely you can actually use that much space with this device. It's not super powerful.
Still not perfect, Im still happy with the v90. Next game I want to see is the arcade game NARC. Or some SNES games with the FX chip.
And some are defective and catch fire too just be careful I have one mine's good in perfect shape running custom firmware
For me too clicky buttons😢
Today you're using a lot the phrase "let's say"
Yeah it's my new thing .. 😂
@@WickedGamerCollector please 🥺 🙏 don't, let's say it's distracting 😂
Hello 👋 humans
🖖
i want this so bad..
I get a lot of tiny emulation handhelds and don't use them long. I think this is the one I'll use for a long time. I had the SP as a kid and it was my favorite handheld of all time. I've had it for a day and am already playing Stardew Valley on it!
Needs bigger screen.
I would buy it, but only if they add a analog stick !
CPU placement and click loud buttons it's a huge deal breaker for me. Hard and sad pass.
The original GBA SP has clicky buttons too. It's an authentic experience. I like the buttons.
Wicked videos 😁
It’s good
Hehehehehe....
There's no quality in these devices imo sure might be better than Powkiddy nothing compares to Retroid or Ayn in the form of quality.
