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.

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.
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👌🏾
U answered all my possible questions. I am grateful. Keep up the great work!

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.
It’s so cute. Reminds of the Tiger tm games of the 90 but with a real Consol Inside
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
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.
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 Looooove this one soooo much. My favourite 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.
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. 👍👍
I agree with Taki, it’s good but for the price you’d might as well just get a Retroid Pocket 2

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?
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!
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.
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.
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.

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.

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
This looks crazy
Hand cramps galore. We need a RG300 successor.
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.
Great review. Is it possible to install a CFW?
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's the beat em up from 7:12? Looks great.
Great device that guarantees hand cramps.
retro community: uh, this thing is ugly, repetitive, & expensive . also retro community: gotta collect them all
My hands cramp just looking at this
How would you compile sm64 on your own and what emulator will be best for this?
Keep up the awesome work. Can you link when playing Pokémon?
I love mine almost more than my 350M!
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.
Who else is waiting for that 'PSP' like device?

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 ?
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

@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.
I didn’t think I would want another tiny handheld more than the rg280m... but damn
I'll wait for the NES style version
Not to be confused with the "Retro FC"
What's your opinion on the new GKD Mini...?
It was almost perfect! the ergonomics was painful for a medium/long session.
Any chance of doing a step by step tutorial on how to port Mario 64 over to these devices
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.
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.
Hi Taki! I own the bittboy v3.5 and the retroid pocket 2. I love the bittboy for its 'pick up and play' features and I love the retroid pocket 2 due to it being able to run so many great games up to even the n64. I have been looking at the rg350m recently to get a device that has the best of both worlds, but this device that you just showed in the video peaked my interest. Would you recommend me to get the rg350m or actually get this one? Or would you advice me to get the rg351 instead? The retroid pocket 2 is amazing but I would like to get a device that can run many things but is also 'pick up and play' so to speak

I'd do the 351 if you really like GBA, but I'd probably go for the 350p over the m just because it's a lot cheaper. That being said, that device doesn't really do anything that the RP2 doesn't already do and it would be cheaper just to customize the RP2 with a front end that achieves the same pick up and play that you want. (The 351 is less pick up and play than 350p/350m/280)

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?
What about the RG351P since i want the dual analogue and hepatic feedback?

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 always wanted a GBA micro. Now you can almost have one that plays n64 games!
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
