The GKD Pixel might be the BEST Tiny handheld YET | Zu Reviews!

Ойындар

👉Our pals over at ‪@gogamegeek6828‬ sent us a beautiful firethorn red GKD Pixel to review. After some initial trepidation that this would be another gimmicky handheld, Zu and Gary quickly found out that this $80-90 tiny Gameboy has some serious legs. Supporting up to PlayStation 1, and with MinUI available, could the GKD Pixel be your next everyday carry? Tune in and find out!

    But why male models, Zu? Nah, I'm kidding. Zu is making lots of sense. He's like Captain Tracy from "The Omega Glory" episode of 'Star Trek: TOS'. I get that we're supposed to see him as the bad guy and Kirk as the good guy; but, I low key think that Tracy was behaving logically until the last few minutes of the episode. All he wanted to do was protect the village that saved his life when he got marooned there from the unrelenting hordes of barbarians trying to kill them all. And that village had discovered extreme long life. They were humanoid so it made sense to him that if we could figure out what they're doing right then humans could do it too. The Prime Directive was stupid and every non do-gooder Captain knew it. But not Kirk, not in this episode, noooo.

    I keep mine in my car for unexpected waits. I had to go to the DMV earlier this week, and even with an online appointment, you need to wait forever, so I grabbed the pixel out of the glove box and played some Mother 3 in the lobby.

    @@retrohandhelds yeah your show the other week talking about the challenge of charging all the devices and batteries dying got me shook. I got a weekend project removing batteries from my NES Edition GBA and my 25th Anniversary Mario GB Micro. I'm terrified of the batteries turning into a plush pillow.

    Thinking of this handheld as "one of three" I think this COULD be an excellent pick for the low end, high battery capacity, fully pocket friendly device. If the miyoo isn't quite small enough OR if you wish a metal miyoo existed, I think this may be an excellent pick. For me, the Miyoo original is just right and I am more excited about the RG35xx "SP" clamshell. Admittedly though...I have always wanted a premium metal handheld, but at a non "premium" price and this DOES have an attractive price point vs build quality.
