Howdy. I've been following you for some time and I honestly appreciate your quality humor, but when I heard the phase with "bombarder de cornichons" I subscribed instantly.😁 I own only one retro device, namely RG35XX H... Yeah, the ZAZZBIZZLE, which arrived a few days ago and which I'm still trying to get used to. It's ok, but the screen seems too small and I'm thinking of getting one with a bigger screen in the near future and with more "muscles" for more demanding games.😄 Finally, great video. You are so funny to watch. 🥳I think you have become my No. 1 Comedy channel.... Aaaa... I mean Retro Handheld Channel.😅 Big like and greetings from Romania!👍

The device looks beautiful and I'd love to have one, but a less than stellar d-pad is a dealbreaker 😭 $400 is definitely a ton of money, but I could let my bank account take a big hit if this one device could play all my retro games with amazing controls, even the 8 bit stuff. Loved the video! You're one of the top emulation handheld RU-vidrs for me and I'm always excited to see you put new videos out!

@maddoggaming1171 15 дней назад

I think this is the most aesthetically pleasing handheld I’ve ever seen. When I first saw it teased my jaw dropped, but they took so long to give an official release date and price I ended up buying a steam deck in the interim. I do want a smaller pocketable device but that’s going to be the new Anbernic SP, so I guess I’ll wait to see if any new system emulators get released for android and if so I’ll then look for sales on either this or the Odin 2 mini for a “mid size” kind of portable, I think… idk XD

I really hope we eventually get a full steam client for android. If steam just allowed devs the choice to port their games to Android a lot would since they already have an arm version for switch to base it on. Would buy a device like this in a heartbeat if it could play my steam games. Plus with the right optimization something like this would be plenty powerful enough to play even the most demanding games at 720p low settings
