Review: Family Pocket GP-40S

Posted on August 28, 2024August 28, 2024 by Wes

If I could summarize the Family Pocket GP-40S (at least the version I received) into two words, it would be this: Wasted potential.

Review: SUP+ GB300

Posted on April 28, 2024August 29, 2024 by Wes

In the ultra-budget range, there is simply no beating the value you get with the GB300. It features 6,000+ games, save/load states, and emulators all the way up to the 16-bit generation. If you’ve only got $15 to spend on a device, this would be it.

Review: Super Mini SN-03

Posted on February 12, 2023 by Wes

The Super Mini SN-03 is a bit of a misnomer. For the form factor and verbiage, you’d think you were getting a retro console that plays Super Nintendo games. Alas, that’s not what you’re getting. You do get 821 fami-clone games choose from including several of the key classics (Super Mario, Contra, TMNT) in HD, but it’s still a bit of a let down if you don’t read the fine print carefully.

Review: PD-250 Panda Handheld

Posted on October 31, 2022 by Wes

Like many cheap handhelds from the Chinese market, the PD-250 packs a wide variety of games into a portable form factor from the 8-bit era. But unlike other retro handhelds of the same class that I’ve reviewed in the past, there is a noticeable, and I would argue fatal, difference: It lacks actual retro games. While there are a true 220 games on this handheld, and none of them duplicates, none of them are games you’ve ever heard of.

Review: Mini Game Entertainment System

Posted on September 3, 2022 by Wes

After playing around with the unit for 30 minutes, my thought process went from “but it’s only $20” in the beginning to “this isn’t worth $20” at the end. When I turned off the player and returned the Mini Game Entertainment System to its original packaging (likely to never be taken out again), I thought to myself that if paid any more than $9.99 for it, I would’ve felt ripped off.

Review: Odin Lite

Posted on August 27, 2022 by Wes

My search for “the one” may have ended with AYN Technologies’ Odin Lite. There are some issues with this device as well, but taken as a whole, this may be the final handheld I ever purchase.

Review: JT16-6P Retro Handheld

Posted on August 25, 2022 by Wes

So, to recap, the JT16-6P: (1) has nearly unplayable software; (2) has clunky hardware; (3) is overpriced; and (4) wouldn’t be entertaining to anyone over the age of 3. Other than that, the JT16-6P is perfect.

Review: Retroid Pocket 2+

Posted on February 2, 2022 by Wes

The Retroid Pocket 2+ is a game changing device in the next generation of retro handhelds. Aside from coming in significantly cheaper than the current generation of handhelds at $99, it has a powerful Unisoc Quad-core Tiger T310 processor that not only plays the entire Dreamcast and PSP library nearly flawlessly, but even pushes up to a limited number of GameCube and PlayStation 2 games with the right tweaks.

Review: Anbernic RG280V

Posted on November 4, 2021 by Wes

At the moment, there’s no better device in this category on the market. As with most Anbernic products, the RG280V has the look and feel of a high-end product. The premium plastic feels good on the hands, and provides a sturdy frame to the gorgeous 2.8 inch IPS screen.

Review: Powkiddy RGB20

Posted on November 26, 2020 by Wes

The RGB20 is priced around $90, which is on par or more expensive than already existing handhelds in the RK3326 range. It’s also more expensive than the Retroid Pocket 2, which offers better PSP and Dreamcast emulation.
