UPDATE
I've been getting comments that the old website doesn't work. The company has rebranded as Arcadian. Since then, they have also released a portable version. Here's the updated link to the product: buyarcadian.co....

Hey, guys! I just got my hands on the GameGrid 2, so I decided to review it.
This is an honest review of Game Grid 2, and I want to clarify that I'm not being paid or affiliated for this video. It took me about two weeks to receive my GameGrid retro console, and so far, both my little one and I are loving it. While it's not perfect, it surpasses other retro consoles I've tried.

@TechGuyJohan Год назад

@@dougdozier8782 Yes, the purple one - that's the original (gamegridofficial). The scam site (which is more orange, getgamegrid) even used my video on their site without my authorization. I filed a request to take it down, but they did not comply. It's ridiculous.

@DeLambada 11 месяцев назад

1) Would have been nice to hear the actual audio instead of the music. 2) The aspect ratio seems to be off on some of the games. You make a 90° turn in GTA2 and the car becomes twice as long! The system doesn't seem to take modern aspect ratios into account.

@shawnwade302 Год назад

Atari 2600 was my second home video game system. The 1st was radioshacks electronic tv scoreboard

@tbok75 Год назад

When you say the audio is bad, are we factoring in it coming from a basic TV speaker as well? And also, how bad is the controller lag? I bought a retro console years ago that turned out to be complete crap and decided was time to try again but there are WAY too many choices.

@crimsontide1980 Год назад

I dont have this exact version but i have something almost identical called a Super X console, bought it 3 or 4 years ago. Esdentially the same thing, an Android box. Since mines older im sure its on much older firmware. Anyways, my point is that I picked up 2 8BitDo controllers and I was able to connect them but I had to buy the Bluetooth adapters that plug into the USB ports. Maybe you wont need the adapters for this console, maybe itll hook straight up, but if i were a betting man I'd say youll be able to connect bluetooth controllers to it
