I agree!

Kudos for coming up with such a creative way to personify the players that watch your videos and are seeking your professional advice!! Thanks for another great video, Chief!

You are an amazing communicator. You keep the audience engaged throughout the entire video. I am sure you'll do equally great at presenting any other topic. I hardly have any time to comment anywhere, but I am so impressed with your videos. Thanks again for putting so much effort in doing impeccable content!

Best reviews ever. Love the way you in-depth review everything. Looking forward to the x18 s review

Thank you for such in depth and thorough reviews of this system. Actually, all of your reviews are top-notch. I have been looking to get a handheld emulator for a while. There seems to be SO many I had a hard time deciding since it will be my first. Your comparisons to the other choices with the four prospective buyers covered all the bases for me. My 351mp is ordered and I will reference back to your videos as I become familiar and learn. Thank you for the time and effort you put into these videos.

I love these detailed reviews. You definitely have a knack for this and your previous experience with "writing recipe books" really does show through on how you approach reviews.

Big thumbs up for the BIG SHOT Hampton! XD Excellent video btw

I spit my damn drink out when I saw that lol

I absolutely love you addressing the needs based on your kid's drawing... I have been hesitant to buy a retro device, watched numerous videos, and your format makes so much sense to me..😎

Thanks for all your amazing videos AND guides. I got an RGB10 Max2 which I put a fresh emuelec on. Very happy with it. Recently ordered an RG351P for portability and V90 for silly nostalgia. There are no words for how much you help some of us in the rediscovery of our childhood.

I was just looking at purchasing this. I loved the different character/needs comparisons, and the comprehensive overview. Excellent video and review!

This might be my favourite video on this channel so far, from the very detailed information, to your son helping out, to having Hampton in the video (I almost spat out my drink), to the sheer friggin' balls when you mentioned emulation with Dread footage in the background. I'm super tempted to get myself an RG351MP thanks to your videos, I really appreciate the enthusiasm!

This is an absolutely wonderful way of conducting a review! Thank you for helping me make the right decision.

I just came from some other dude's channel, where he made a video review of the RG351MP. Your video is superior by FAR. Not only is it much more in-depth, but the way you categorize each type of potential buyer here is such a great way to compare/contrast all these competing devices. Well done. Subbed.

Thank you! This is the BEST review video of any retro gaming portable I've ever seen. You actually hit upon all the right points, and did so with full honesty and transparency, unlike Taki Udon.

Oh man I've been watching your videos like crazy trying to decide what console I wanted, and I just saw that you posted a new video today a few minutes ago, AFTER I decided to get the Anbernic RG351P! Luckily after watching this video I think that still happens to be the best choice for me, thanks for the great streamlined and informative videos!

I've just started look at handhelds and have been completely overwhelmed. This is by far the clearest most engaging video I've seen on this. Very much appreciate it!

amazing way to see what certain people want in their portable devices. you'll always be my go-to when it comes to retro handhelds! thanks!

Perfect depiction of the various types of retro gamers out there! Outstanding job with the explanations as well. Thank you for the time and work you dedicate to this form of entertainment! & Thank you for your service

The drawings and individual needs explanation is so good. Great vid, man!

Fantastic break down! I appreciate all of your hard work into these concise videos!

This video was so much fun to watch because of the characters and very informative. Also appreciate your enunciation a lot!

Excellent review. Using the 4 different characters was a great idea and very helpful

Thanks for all the feedback on this device, very excited to play mine once it arrives!

Great way to approach a review and I found it most helpful!

This is an incredible review. I am so happy that you made it. It totally convinced me to get this.

Hi, thank you for your videos. I’m hooked to the retro handheld scene! Planning to get one very soon and your content really helps a lot. Keep up the great work and may your channel grow even more. Thanks a lot!

This was the video i used before i made my first handheld emulator purchase. Very happy w it. Thanks for the video.

Your channel has quickly become my exclusive source of information on all this stuff. Outstanding video as usual. Been thinking of buying a new retro-handheld and this video in particular made that decision so much easier thanks to your user breakdown. Thank you!

This target audience videos are actually extremely helpful! Definitely bring these characters back! Idk, maybe even create a funny storyline of each customer's favorite preferences in future videos as more devices come out.

Russ, you’re the best. I’ve bought the 280V and 351MP from your reviews. Love them. I’ve been emulating since I was 13 ..20 years ago. Thank you for being a beacon of the retro community and just an all around great guy 👍

I know I'm one comment in a sea of comments, and I rarely (if ever) comment on KZread videos, but this was one of the most brilliant and informative electronic device reviews I've ever seen. I don't know how many barriers are in front of you for a continuing format like this (time to prep, research, algorithm angst, etc), but I would *love* to this type of content going forward. Especially with devices like this that attempt to be a catch-all, giving further niche alternatives depending on use-case is so obviously helpful, I cannot believe I've never seen another KZreadr for consumer electronics *ever* do this (at least nowhere near this detail and thought). So well done, earned a subscriber from me. Really impressed.

Loving the illustrations, hope we see something like that in the future.

This video was incredible to me! Thanks!

Fantastic review. I've only just started watching your videos but "unfortunately" I'm already addicted. I can absolutely relate with Wallace but I also want to tinker with the device and I've already grabbed one (went with RGB10 max). Thanks again for the nostalgia, excellent content and awesome approach! Keep rocking man

Awsomeninfo I was confused on what the letters were for after the 351 when I was looking online to buy ..you summed it up for me and I'm glad I know which is the newest one now thank you.

Just got this device last week and I'm very happy with it, playing classic Gameboy and SNES games on it is way better than on a phone with a controller It just took me a while to set up and get custom firmware

Thanks for the info. I bought an RG351MP (my first device of this kind), replaced the OS card with the latest 351ELEC and added the game roms from an 'All-in-One' RetroArcade image - job done!

This video made me decide to buy this, I am a bit of a Hampton, my current system is a pocket go V1 but I wanted something like this. Thanks your videos really helped!

I feel like your editing has gotten a lot better recently! From the little graphics that show the name and price of each console, to the vaporwave fonts! Also I really enjoyed your son's drawings, they were really fun.

I’ve been waiting for you to post this review before I made the decision to buy this model or the 351p. Thank you for everything you do. If it wasn’t for this channel I’d be even more confused.

This is a really great breakdown! I always appreciate your informative reviews

I honestly just clicked because the thumbnail preview showed a Powkiddy V90, love that thing! (and because your channel is both awesome and a life saver, of course). Hoping for something more sturdy with the same form factor, or just more pocketable to come out some day...

Thank you very much your good sir, for taking your time doing this review this is a god tier of a review. Keep up a good work and god bless you.

Same feeling i got the 351 m im not upgrading maybe next year . I been have alot of fun with my ps vita oled display is beautiful on the 1000 emulating games not to mention all the psp and vita library for free !

I really liked the setup for this one. Fun art and I think it was probably the best way to handle this, since yeah, this device is going to really vary as a value proposition for people.

A very creative presentation, while being informative. Very nice!

Loving these videos. I'm super close to picking up a rg280v, even though I don't really need one!

This is the video that convinced me to get one. Thanks for that! I've been using it all the time now. My only criticism is that I think you oversell how heavy it is a liiiitle bit. Like it's definitely noticeable but I've still found it very easy to toss into my pocket or in a bag and carry around places.

I love the four characters. I knew I was going to be a subscriber shortly after that started to unravel.

Thank you for the video gave me lots of information to think about 👍🏻

Incredible work, well played

I, as a Rupert, am eternally grateful for your breakdown.

Another excellent video from my all time fave retro gamer!

WHAT A VIDEO. Amazingly helpful.

I really love your videos man. keep it up

Very good video. What I would have liked to see in this video is a display of some PS1, Turbo Graphx and Neogeo games for example. Handheld videos are generally too centered on Super NES.

I have been playing emulators on my computer for years. and was never happy with the controls. Just bought one of these after finding your videos and watching and learning a bunch, thanks so much for all the information.

Thank you very much, I'll pass the compliments to the artist! :)

After finding the channel about two weeks ago, I took the plunge and ordered my first handheld, an RG351P. This video made me a little nervous at first since I thought maybe I got the "wrong one", but pocket portability is a big draw for me, and the P has the same chipset as the MP, so the section of the video with Frances definitely helped me feel better about my decision. My two biggest concerns were actually "is this good on the go" and "can this handle Ape Escape", a huge game for me growing up, and the first PS1 game to require the dual analog sticks (which is why I didn't want something like the 351V). Lovely editing and detail, thanks for another great video.

Amazing video! You explained the features so well and who should buy which handheld is the best part. Thank you!

OK I've enjoyed all of reviews, but this one is the best. When I saw the drawings from your kid (I have a seven year old myself who has and loves his "old.school" pocket go with your simple 30 upgrade) that was it for me. So creative. Where is your patrion? You deserve financial support for this!!
