It's WAY Better Than I Thought! - The Best Handheld Under $100 (Retroid Pocket 2S)

Рет қаралды 12,643

Күн бұрын

Out of any retro handhelds for under $100 (or near to it), the Retroid Pocket 2S is the absolute best option. Being able to emulate N64, Dreamcast, a lot of Gamecube and 3DS, some PS2 and Wii, this handheld is so good for the money! In my opinion, it blows the competition in the budget retro handheld scene out of the water.

Surprisingly I use this more than my Odin 2 Pro, I upgraded from my Miyoo Mini+ to this because I wanted a portable handheld that can handle all of N64 and Dreamcast, I also like the 4:3 aspect ratio screen for my retro games on this

Same here. RP2s is really a geat addition when you already have an Odin 2 which I find sometimes way too big and overengineered for N64 and below.

Another bonus is that you can actually run some switch games such as Celeste, Shovel Knight and Sonic Mania. A very few select titles but I'm not complaining.

I just got mine! I've been looking for a powerful and pocketable device that was around $100. I bought a 35XXH for $46 on sale but it had a defective screen, so I decided to spend a little more on quality and performance and I'm really happy I did. My only gripes with it is I wish the screen was just slightly bigger, and I also with the ABXY buttons weren't as loud as they are. In comparison, the 35XXH buttons were like half as loud. Otherwise, It's becoming one of my favorite pieces of tech I've ever owned, right next to the Steam Deck OLED. It's incredibly underappreciated and a really solid value at a budget friendly price point that I hope Retroid keeps improving on in future devices. Great review, you gained a sub!

This device is where I enjoy my Ps1 and Dreamcast games the most! I like my rg35xx for gameboy (shocker) and the H for GBA (Shocker x2). However when it comes to taking a device with me, the H is my edc device.

I bought the rp2 years ago, it was the best thing ive ever spent money on... Well now I have the rp4 pro and it's amazing! But I'm saving up for Odin 2, need that bigger screen and performance.

if you are willing to buy the RG405V then it will be worth it, since the RG405V has the power and chipset of the RG405M so you will literally have a flawless experience. (up to dreamcast and nintendo 64, gamecube is playable if you use the MMJR version)

instead of using 2 fingers for A and Y then you probably should just move ur finger in terms of degrees to actually use both buttons.
