If there's nothing at 40 $ that can compete, then there is nothing better out there at this price point period. Makes no sense to say there are many better options... but double the price.

i did exactly as instructed and now my game crashes after it starts up....

Looks like a bad product

All the castlevania 2 Belmonts revenge are awesome. I am partial to crystal castle myself

The analog pocket isn't to be more like a 3D render, its meant to represent the original gameboy more. It feels a lot like an original gameboy. If you're seeking GBC then that feels different in a number of ways. I still have my GB, GB Pocket and GBC, and they all have a slightly different feel to them, both the shape and the buttons. I personally wouldn't want more than the Analog Pocket if I was going to settle on just one GB like device, but making my own GBC does seem fun. But then I also have all my physical handheld collection still with me, so more often than not I will go back to the originals, regardless of the worse screens.

Winner: Odin 2!

Mewithoutyou shirt 👍

I'd be interested if Valve didn't confirm Steam Deck 2 will eventually come, I can wait, I'm satisfied with the first Steam Deck for now.

I'm getting war flashbacks of the retroid pocket flip... please be a good hinge (my flip got completely ruined)

Why the hell would anyone buy this when the steam deck exists.

-Hello, I accidentally skipped over backing up the files from .retroarch -> system and now am having trouble finding and downloading them. I have mostly nintendo consoles on my miyoo mini plus right now, but the current system file is empty and I'm not sure what to do.

Hmmm, so you could drive with it and have the map projected?

230k views in 3 days :O and i thought the retro community was smaller lol

kool

Will you review the Odin 2 Mini and compare them to the Odin 2 and other handheld in that size range? I'm especially interested in the Screens and brightness to play outside. Also a Video with Odin 2 vs AYANEO Pocket S would nice

Are the emulators already installed or would you have to do that yourself??

Got the grips you recommended they are very nice. However when I have them attached and try and put the Go in the case if I open it my left stick’s RGB is flashing red. Is this an issue???

Android games with those buttons over the screen are not enough

How does it handle jak 1 or 2

Hopefully ayaneo will focus on improving their android software. My pocket air still has some annoying software bugs which is a shame

Russ I like your videos but please - sometimes I think the voice over is not needed in a specific place - when you talk about the buttons I wish you could just be silent for a moment and let us hear the buttons and how they sound with the clickyness. I want to be able to hear the dpad and buttons and triggers. If not during the video voice over then in another section. You make great reviews and I always grab a snack and drink, but let us hear please the buttons. Please!

I would add to this list (unless I missed you mentioning it), the 3DS is also the best way to play Virtual Boy games. I don't understand why N never did this officially with their online console store. VB Wario Ware feels like it was built to be enjoyed on the 3DS!

I can honestly say I have never seen a first impression video done as well as yours in my life. This was awesome. I hope you do one for the Miyoo Flip when that gets released.

really really tempted to pick this up, the only retro handheld I’ve previously bought though is is the Miyoo Mini Plus and I’m debating if I should just hold out for the Miyoo Flip?

Thanks for all the testing you do. Tell me what kind of ASUS monitor ? And do you recommend it for daily use ??

No headphone jack!? WTF!? How can a super powerful gaming device NOT have a headphone jack? Switch sticks? Ugh... This thing is so thin, so compact, it throttles big time! Great review, but not for me given the Odin 2 and everything we know. Basically we're paying extra for a lot of pretty.

I actually think a smaller size to make this more pocketable would have given it a big edge to win over the Odin, even if it was a bit less powerful and it might have helped the price some too. I think I was hoping for something like a Retroid that was joystick focused and premium but more portable than the Odin. Great review, as always!

I don't want to sound ungrateful, the gba sp is my absolute favorite handheld form factor. I've always wanted something like this, a gba sp like device with emulation capabilities. I just hope future iterations add recessed analog stick. Doesn't seem to have a way to emulate C buttons on the 64.

I figure this'll be my PS1 and below player. Anything else I want I have an Odin 2 to play with.

What’s the best device would you recommend between $100-$200

It looks really promising but as you say Odin 2 for now it's the best product.

The EZ Flash Parallel is a horrible flash cart.
