Random: This New Retro Handheld Looks Like A Switch Lite Clone

Doesn't look too bad for the price small screen though

I mean. Are we really surprised?

Seems like a pretty good product for the price if it can decently run PS2 games.

Anbernic is old news. I have been playing MK WII and Double Dash for months on Ayn Odin Pro. Anbernic is also set to release the SteamDeckish Win 600 but even this does not look that great compared to the next Ayn and Aya handhelds. That said I still use the Anbernic 351MP/V for anything up to - including - PS1. Can't beat that 4:3 ratio screen.

They put the D-pad on the correct spot, though.

It's like buying a fake watch off a bloke on the beach.

@Tasuki as long as Nintendo continues to sht on classics. The world of emulation will only get bigger and bigger.

Anbernic makes great devices. Ive had a few of them over the years. They aren't power horses that can play psp, Vita, PS2, etc, but if you just want to play retro games like ps1, gba, genesis, snes, etc, they're systems are great for that. Batteries last a long time as well.

Now it looks even more like a little piracy machine, which it is. Almost all of these come preloaded with thousands of roms.

I'd rather have a Retroid Pocket 2 if I ever get one of these things. Would love to play old Commodore 64 and GBA games on it.

@Friendly
I take it you're a fan of the parallel, PlayStation button layout?

@ModdedInkling no, not for all games, but I prefer to play my 2d platformers with the d-pad on the switch lite though. This button placement would make that option even better for me.

It works Genshin, it already surprises me.

I do love Genshin Impact, and am looking forward to the new region, Sumeru, being released a week from now. It's actually quite surprising that I like it, since most times I hear about Chinese-made video games or consoles, they're usually about cheap, low-quality knockoffs of other games or systems. Genshin Impact is surprisingly original, despite early accusations of being a knockoff of Breath of the Wild after it was first announced.

That being said, if I am to play it on a console, I would rather play it on the Switch or (God forbid) the PS4, the latter of which I am loath to do, because of frequent updates to both the system itself and the game. I only ever use the PS4 version for the gacha system, anyway.

I mainly play on PC, but that's largely due to my iPhone 8 not really being able to handle the game (the game crashes frequently, especially when I teleport). But playing with a mouse and keyboard gives me carpal tunnel from time to time, which doesn't do me any good, either when I am playing console games or when I'm working.

It has the Sticks how i wish them on the Switch!

Edit:

Btw. i recommend the Gamey Boy like Anbernic because the 4:3 Screen.

All these handhelds are Switch clones.

it looks alright, but unless size is an issue it's better to put that money towards a Steamdeck.

@Muriustar Does the system you mention also support Wii emulation? That's the handheld I'm interested in! Meanwhile, I approve of the d-pad placement on this model.

They need to another pocket 280V all others are overated you know what i mean entire retro librarys anywhere

@Waka_the_Prophet Amazon, Ali Express couple of trusted sellers to name just get a decent micro sd card

@wolflik3me It does but do not expect it to be perfect. MK is perfect during gameplay at 1.5x resolution but has the occasional stutter in menus. For WII I only have FE Radiant Dawn, Mario Kart, Super Mario Bros WII and Super Mario Galaxy installed, I wish I had a way to transfer saves between my WII and the handheld.
Gamecube is better, I am replaying RE4, Metroid Prime, some Starfox etc. Still had a few games that did not fare well.
On the other hand PSP emulation is perfect at 3x/5x resolution.
Ps2 is hit and miss, Dead to Rights, Devil May Cry, FF XII, Front Mission IV, Marvel Ultimate Alliance etc. (I have about 200 games installed) work well but I haven't even tried God of War and some of the hardest games to emulate.
I haven't tried 3DS since I still have my 2DSXL and it's already portable.
That said it is a great handheld but the queue to get one is not as bad as the steam deck but close (I was lucky I ordered early february and got mine in may but people who ordered other models have been waiting for more than 6 months...) and you might be better off just doing the preorder for the new windows based models unless some units hit retail.

@Waka_the_Prophet I've looked on Amazon, all of them come with MicroSD cards with "thousands of games". And honestly, I don't know if that is an Amazon problem or an Anbernic problem. But it doesn't look good.

I like how bent out of shape some Nintendolife mods get when the comments delve into emulation, then proceed to post articles like these.

@Waka_the_Prophet Clearly hence i merely recommend these good people some of the best online retailers planet Earth has to offer.

@sanderev looks good when i turn on the device no problem my end

The fact that a switch clone plays Genshin before the actual switch does is very funny
