[@Dr.Sarcasm]

Geez. Everybody leave this guy alone. Ron does more honest reviews than most influencers. And he does it with an "I don't care" type of attitude, which makes me believe that he's not "bought" by anyone. Keep it up with this attitude and all we're gonna' have left are shills that create 10 minute ads masquerading as reviews.

[@matthenzel8930]

I mostly agree with this, but having done reviews on free games for magazines in the 90's, I will admit that it's impossible to feel the same about something that you've received for free, as opposed to something you've paid for, but that's just how it is. I think people were taken back by the price, $250 IIRC. I'd personally go for something like a Steamdeck at that point. With a superior display, and more power, and more gaming options.

[@KovanNova]

​@@matthenzel8930what? Where are you getting 250 the Cube costs 170 or something like that.

[@kidrobot.]

How much did he pay you

[@Dr.Sarcasm]

@@Fleshlight_Reviewer not funny. Why are you on here if you hate his reviews?

[@KenSch2020]

It took every company a while to figure out the cheap Analog sticks were just garbage. They all had to go back to Sega Saturn/Dreamcast controllers to fix the problems. The Sega Console that most people didn't want is now praised for the technology used in it.

[@user-qy2wf2lt6v]

They knew all along.

[@MrStupidlook]

I'm very interested in this. Would love to see more games tested, especially ps2, PSP, GameCube, etc.

[@therunawaykid6523]

[@MrStupidlook]

[@Smorgyg]

For the price a retroid pocket 4 pro is a better choice imo

[@danieljimenez1989]

This thing actually pays!

[@sixarms]

A follow up video with some more review and gameplay would be great

[@CarbonatedTurtle]

Everything looks great except the 1:1 screen, which is an odd choice since no games are ever going to fit the screen unless they're stretched. I could see 4:3 making more sense, but I'd still prefer a 16:9 display and have black bars on the sides for games in 4:3, rather than have a 16:9 game shrunk down to fit into a perfect square.

[@R1SKbreaker]

The RG556 is the same chipset at 16:9. I think the square is better than 4:3 right now because there aren't good 4:3 screens available. Notice that a lot of them are 480p. This being 720p is good for integer scaling on a lot of systems, and 4:3 looks good with a little bit of black bars. Would like a handheld with a good higher resolution 4:3 screen.

[@gcfreak898]

I stopped at the RG351V. That's my favorite but, that one looks cool too.

Can this Handheld play Zelda Skyward Sword, Pandoras Tower, and No More Heroes!? 🤩

[@silastherobloxlovergamer3687]

Can it run everything? If so, then THIS IS THE EVERYTHING HANDHELD

[@silastherobloxlovergamer3687]

And by that i mean EVERY SINGLE HARDWARE OUT THERE

[@cdubya166]

I wish these review channels would quit wasting our time showing off all of the old games that already run... on just about anything. We want PS2 or better... Showcase PS2+ games that have been hard to run for earlier handheld releases, please.

[@paynomind81]

n64 is my favorite system and it never works how I want, cool that this does it well.

[@Dalmatinac3]

Why is eveyone amazed that this system plays these consoles smoothly? Like u see the specs ..and u know right away itll play it. Like. Its crazy how brainwashed and stoked humans get.

[@thegreatscode]

The only thing I don't like but that they can eventually fix in software is the fact that the analog stick snaps to cardinal directions and aren't super smooth in games like Mario 64

[@gyrenrockz]

audio port should be placed in the bottom.. anbernic still putting it on the top..

[@EliasPfaiffer]

For that price.... Buy the Retroid pocket 4 pro

[@themadchallenger5490]

More PS2 games please like God of war and can it play GameCube like Zelda or Luigi mansion?

[@mumfnah]

I want to buy one, then see the reviews about some having dud screens with quite a lot of light bleed. I still think I'll get one soon, i like the ration on screen. And being Android I'm hoping i can play some ZX favourites and map the controls. I'm still using my Miyoo Mini a fair bit but I like the look of screen size on this

[@OzzyMoto2K10]

Not just some. Every single one has light bleed.

[@aaronwalker1615]

Leave it to Ambernic and PowKitty for lots of innovative (plug & play) portable Retro devices!

[@go0ot]

Nice ! Do a new video of Your top 5 games on this for high end systems like PS2 PSP Wii GameCube Dreamcast N64, will be popular.

[@benlastname6667]

Would be cool to have with my analogue pocket and dock.

[@Xfonic]

Awesome! My only gripe is they make the screens on these things WAY too small!! Give me a Wii U game pad sized screen, I would throw money at them lol

[@graphicsgod]

This needs further testing and messing with!! Definitely interested..

[@ultimaq8730]

It really “pays” to have a cube

[@alpmaster0076]

Awesome video brother =}

[@superbros64deluxe]

"This pays"

[@torq21]

Can they just make a LARGE 5:4 or 3:2 screen already? This screen aspect ratio is so frustrating!

[@mattdavis9601]

I'm very interested in this unit and the ZPG Unicorn. As Huey Lewis taught us, it's hip to be square. I'd like more coverage of both. One of the things I'd like to see covered is widescreen hacks. I know that sounds silly; but, I've read that some emulators - Dolphin MMJR comes to mind - will output a perfect 1:1 image if you enable widescreen hacks and then set the aspect ratio to full. So far none of the reviewers I frequent have tried that out yet.

[@JayBlackheart]

Hey MadLittlePixel, If possible Id like a follow up video to test some of the Saturn games like Rayman and Galatic Attack being Rayman has always had emulator issues with the controller especially with SSF over the years. and maybe some more heavy driven games on the Dreamcast for Shenmue

[@reggieh6038]

At that price I rather save a little and just get the Odin 2 can't play all PS2 games. If it did atleast that I would have considered it.

[@Kamineko99]

Is the D-Pad good for fighting games? You know what I mean. How shoryukenable it is? Could this be better than Retroid Pocket 4 Pro?

[@albertosaldivar2934]

For fighting games? It is due the dpad😊

[@wendellwatson8318]

It's definitely not better than the RP4. Not being a hater, but the RP4 has a more powerful processor that allows it to play higher end games without any frame rate drops. That's why it also costs more.

[@albertosaldivar2934]

@@wendellwatson8318 it is better in some ways. I rather play nds, 3ds, anything below gamecube and arcade fighting games on the cube. RP4P for psp, ps2 widescreen games and wii.

[@Tsigarinho]

Please can you test on Psp emulator god of war games and ghost n goblins? Also is it possible to run PS2 God of war games? Thanks in advance

[@GiggaGMikeE]

It runs GoW PS2 games. I think Retro Games tested it. I can confirm it runs without issue, just can't confirm what video I saw it on. If I remember correctly though it only runs 1x

[@Tsigarinho]

@@GiggaGMikeE if it's running those games in full speed it's ok by me as i don't care to make the graphics better. I like the original "flavor' and not those upscaling options. Thank you.

[@XavierGage]

What are these comments? 😬

[@mumfnah]

My guess, he uploaded with a typo in title and wrote "Pays" instead of "Plays"

[@silastherobloxlovergamer3687]

As of the time i replied, the typo is resolved.

[@sirtonymayo1468]

Think I'll have to treat myself to one of these 👍 👍

[@matthenzel8930]

Looks like it plays newer stuff pretty well, but what are they doing using a square display?! No consoles use that apesct ratio, so you are either squishing the graphics at a wrong aspect, or you are reducing the size by a lot (that's why the Saturn display only takes up a fraction of the display, at the bottom). They put a V8 engine into a Ford Pinto!

[@joydivider42]

What's the light bleed situation?.....seen some reviews and even my Powkiddy 30 has some bleed making me very wary of this now. Anyway it's at a price point where I would rather save for a Retroid 4 or higher equiv model of Anbernic.....my 35 H will do fine for now.

[@mattdavis9601]

Supposedly the second batch is fine. I've heard that GoGameGeek only has those in stock and they stand behind their products, so if a bad one did get through they'll take care of you. As a result it might be worth the premium to buy it from them. Only you and your wallet can make that decision. The RH guys have the ZPG Unicorn in for review and all of theirs have perfect screens. If you're okay with losing analog triggers and a touch of PS2 performance, it's a solid 1:1 option that undercuts the Cube in price by about $30 or so.

[@ohiograssman1564]

Hmmm perhaps this is the one I get us all.

All I needed to do is hear "The build is crap" (referring to the image with config/games). I don't care how good the hardware is... I don't want to configure shit... So Ambernic, maybe don't design 1 or 2 handhelds in the near future (3-4 weeks) and get a process of building images down so that people can take this bish out of the box and just start enjoying. That's when you get my money. I can wait until the end of time.
