About this deal

Anything short of sixth-generation consoles plays just fine, at least. Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, NES, Nintendo 64, Super NES, Sony PlayStation, and Turbografx-16 games all run smoothly and with nicely sharp, upscaled graphics. Even most PlayStation Portable games play well, though the most advanced games, such as God of War: Chains of Olympus and Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, stutter a bit. The screen is fantastic, too, making each game pop with vibrant colors.

The 4.7-inch touchscreen display, offering a clear resolution of 750x1334@60fps and 450nits brightness, ensures every pixel of your classic games shines through. Running on Android 11, this retro gaming console provides a user-friendly interface and robust performance. The 4.7-inch LCD has a 1,334-by-750 resolution that's slightly higher than on the Switch and Switch Lite, so it looks a bit sharper with its smaller area. The screen gets extremely bright, and I found that setting it to just 60% brightness made it more than visible in most lighting. It shows well-saturated color, but it doesn’t get as deep or vivid as the OLED Switch’s screen.We’ve seen ANBERNIC do this time and time again, and it’s why I only speak highly of a few of their handhelds because i don’t want you to fall into that trap of buying them every couple of months. There is a built in frontend which does admittedly take a while to set up from scratch but once you do have it set up, it is very good. Essentially you choose which gaming systems you would like to add, then go through each system to add the ROM path and then scan for recognised games. It is far better than the frontend on the RG505 by a long shot. We have prepared a guide on how to set up RetroArch which is required for use with Retroid Launcher, or as an individual app. Learn how to setup RetroArch in our article here and embedded below. Setting up and using the Retroid Launcher But to see GoRetroid start this strategy scares me a little, because I genuinely thought they were better than that, but i was wrong.

So this review is going to be a little different, I have spoken about my concerns here, and i hope you take them into consideration, but i do want to review this handheld as is, because it’s a great device and let’s face it, we are all adults here, you can spend your money on what you want, but i just had to start the article off with my opinions on their marketing strategy and advise that you don’t buy it because it seems they genuinely don’t give a toss about their customers. Nintendo: NES, SNES, Nintendo64, GameCube, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, DS, 3DS, Virtual Boy, Game and Watch!Now, how does this compare with the other Retro Gaming Devices on the market? For starters, we have the PowKiddy X18S that shares the same SoC, a device that was not well received by the community due to the poor User Experience related to the Operating System. This to me is straight up disrespectful, and I have always held GoRetroid on a high pedestal, but moving forward it seems they have become like every other Chinese handheld manufacturer… greedy bastards. Buying one of these will entice not only GoRetroid but other manufacturers to use this scammy marketing tactic moving forward. There is a 4500mAh battery which lasts for up to 8 hours depending on usage. We left the Antutu benchmark running on a loop for 4 hours 57 minutes which is a fair amount of time. Android Overview The setup wizard will finish off any other tasks and you will be launched into the Launcher you chose. Adding games to your micro SD card
