I finally bought my first Retro Handheld the RG35XX-H after your updated (Koriki) review and I fell in love with it. It perfectly fits in my pocket, it's very light and the BATTERY LIFE! OMG why has no one told me it can have 7-8 hours battery life for PS1 games? I love my PSP to death but it lasts only 3-4 hours max. But 8 HOURS??? I became a fan and can't wait to play more. Thank you

Nice! I was just looking at this yesterday. Debating between this and the RP4 Pro. Also your end point about this hobby being more about enjoying the actual playing of the games and not about raw power is great. I’m experiencing that now by playing Pokémon on a Miyoo mini v4. Certainly not the most powerful or largest, but I had the most relaxing, enjoyable time laying in bed last night playing an hour or so.

This plays a good amount of PS2 and Gamecube. The RP4 Pro does a bit more of those higher end systems, but it's not a night/day difference. Really if you want perfect PS2 and GC you'll want an Odin 2. All of these devices (556, RP4, and Odin 2) offer good performance at their prices. No wrong answer, just get whichever physical shape and screen size and extra features appeals to you!

Very cool and unique review! I'm an older gamer. I was 30 when PS2 dropped, and to this day no gaming system has ever blown me away like that. It was such a massive leap over the original Playstation, and it was the first home console that truly matched or eclipsed the best arcade graphics at the time. I will never forget what playing Medal of Honor Frontline for the first time was like, it was the most immersive and thrilling home gaming experience I'd ever had. Fast forward to today, and my RG556 has over 500 PS2 games on it including MOH Frontline, plus all the GooglePlay and older arcade games and console games too. I just can't get over what a total game changer this is for me. It's unreal how far hand helds have come. The ultra comfortable form factor, perfect control layout and incredible 1080p AMOLED screen make the RG556 such a joy to play. The PS2 emulation is fantastic, and the games look remastered with all those pixels so densely packed on such a high resolution OLED screen. I can't stop playing this thing.

I'm a bit worried about the "lower" placement of the D-pad, since I'd be mostly playing 2d games on this. I usually prefer "upper" placement for the D-pad so my hand doesnt cramp up. How comfortable is this thing using the D-pad for long periods of time?
@TechDweeb

Nah I have no problem with it here. It's a bigger device so your hands are slightly further away from the dpad on the outside, meaning your thumb reaches the dpad as easily as it does the stick.

Bro, when I originally saw this, it was clear to me that this was Anbernic leaning into what they do best, which is providing solid quality within an acceptable price point. It's the Nintendo business model and it's a good one. They don't feel the need to be out front. They focus on the quality side of the bell curve and they offer the very best in what's commonly available. I have loved every device that I decided to buy (it's not many), and I'm never letting go of them because when they ring my bell, they really get it right. I generally focus on their most pocketable devices because that's what's practical for me but this one is going to be the first one I buy that's outside that scope -because they were laser-focused on their strength. Sorry for the long comment but, I'll be an Anbernic fanboy as long as they offer real quality. I'll drop them if they let it go but I'm very happy to see this device.

Comfort trounces pure power any day of the week when handhelds are concerned in my book. Fat lot of good power is if you can't even use it without getting cramped hands or an eye ache squinting at a tiny screen....that's why I pre ordered this when I saw it. Large and comfy looking without being dinosaur huge, great AMOLED screen that doesn't require me to strain my eyes to look at it, and more than enough power to get the job done on the titles I play. Tweaking is the norm with all of these to get the most out of them and I'm good with that, nice to know I don't have to do as much of it here though. Awesome review Mr. Dweeb, with each passing video I'm liking your perspective more and more on this here YT platform!

I understand its not really comparable to this one, but since it's been announce i have been back and forth vetween that and this since I think I like better the more comoact body, and in any case that is still plenty powerful enough for my forecasted use, at 100$ less...

Nice review man. Just talked myself out of buying one of these and then saw this 😂 How's the screen compare to the Odin 2? Two devices I'm tempted on. I mean I can pick this one up really reasonably. I think I do want an Odin 2 or something as powerful as that one day. But I'm not sure I actually need that either. Currently using a retroid flip. A great really truly portable machine. But as you say, the gaming experience isn't all in the power of specs or one given area. Perhaps I just want another machine? 😂

if you're deciding between the two get the odin 2, while the screen obviously wont be as good as an OLED, it's 6 inches and its a fantastic display, probably the best IPS ive seen on a handheld, if its not dark and you're in a lit room, it can seem like an OLED at times Ofc the illusion is quickly shattered in a dark room

for me it was between this and the pocket pro 4 and even though this has a oled screen i don't want the switch style thumb sticks so went pro 4, plus the pocket pro 4 has a slightly stronger chip so that also went into consideration but the rg556 is definitely nice.

5:49 They must've updated the software for the sticks, they don't snap anywhere close to as much as in the video, I can entirely fill the boxes green, but they definitely snap a bit more than I'd like towards the XY axis (I assume they have the deadzone for the xy axis a bit too much), but no where close to in this video. I'm not seeing any snap in that make it look like an x. Another issue that makes the sticks worse is how short they are, it makes fine movement pretty difficult. One last thing about the sticks, besides the snap being a bit too much and the sticks being short (expected on a small device), I can't hit the top left part of the box with my left joystick unless I continue pushing even after hitting the plastic around the joystick, which tells me they aren't calibrated correctly.

Your point about "enjoying the experience" is why I still really only use my Anbernic RG351P... It has a perfect GBA screen and runs everything up to PS1 perfectly... Comfort and use case is WAY more important than power... It's why I hope they update their ARC device to be strong enough for Sega Satun eventually... That one is AWESOME for Sega and arcade games...

You will probably be fine in older retro games. It's more that you would notice it if you were doing game streaming or maybe some more modern retro games that required precision like GameCube or PS2. I think for N64 and Dreamcast you will be fine.

I bought mine for $160 on a local store. One advantage Anbernic has over Retroid is that it is readily available for the rest of the world, particularly in SouthEast Asia where the retro gaming scene is huuuuuuuuuuuge! Retroid Pocket 4 pro on the other hand costs $230 here in the Philippines and takes about a week to arrive.

@@TechDweeb mmmm, in fact i think you should try it because you'll see it doesn't run on this device. I know it because i own a KTR1 (which is almost as powerful as these 2 devices), and many ps2/gc/psp games aren't playable. For example : motorstorm psp, gc ssx tricky (snowdream race), and i don't remember the ps2 non-working games 😅. If you could test these 2 games i would be sooooo happy 😇 (ok i suscribe 😆)
