[@Pridetoons]

[@Robtech]

Noice!

Its great. Speakers are as good as those on the original Switch. The hall sticks are amazing. You're going to love it.

@@jinstinky501 Have had mine for a few days now. Can say, its actually so great to have. I can play Super Mario 64, Mario KArt 64, and any or all GBA games. Its just an awesome device for what it is. No gamecube emulation, but thats expected with the size.

Are you sure the wipes are for the screen?

[@Robtech]

I used them on my hands....😭

I too am in love with my rg353m. Take out the rumble pak, make it a bit lighter please :(

I bought one of these last year and it came loaded with 15,000 games. I play it almost everyday. Best money I've ever spent It plays up to ps1 and N64. But some roms don't run as smooth as others. But we'll worth the $100.00 I spent.

[@Nick-dq5fo]

Was it on sale for $100?

[@STEVE-ki9th]

Headphone jack is a mess, doesn't work with all headphones (noisy) + no bluetooth on Linux

[@STEVE-ki9th]

But overall it's a good machine

[@Cheripie506]

I love mine!

[@johnking975]

Take my money!!! 😂

I have this and best purchase ever yah it’s a little on the small side for me too as far as using the sticks go(I’m an adult male) but the dpad and buttons are just fine which is what I mostly use and I mainly got this to hook up to the tv to play with a controller and it’s perfect for that it being mobile is just a plus

[@icewolf415]

Is there a list of the games it comes with? Does it have the gba Pokémon games?

[@BUGHUNTER6]

Can't wait for this thing to arrive at my doorstep! A lot of handhelds are kinda thick plastic bricks, but this one looks so clean and compact. Bet it'll feel great to hold and carry around anywhere

[@carlossaavedra7600]

Is there a way to get all of the Pokemon games on this system? I bought this system really hoping that it would have most of the original pokemon games on it but am really disappointed to see that it does not have them pre installed with the chip I purchased with it. was just wondering if there was a way I could get them on there.

[@Robtech]

Download and add them to the SD card

[@Erlov71]

Did u get it w the 256gb??

[@dillpicklez7952]

Amazing video, convinced me to buy this. on its way now!

[@johnking975]

Take my money!!! 😂

[@adyfandy280]

Can it play mp3 and video as well? Like the digital mp4 player.. and can it use social media like Facebook?

[@Robtech]

In Android sure, but the apps you need will have to be sideloaded as there's no Google play store

[@adyfandy280]

@@Robtech thanks man.. subscribe you immediately 😎👍

[@bobsanderz3005]

Great review

[@pajaron1000]

Will it play marvel vs capcom 2

[@hotwingdaddy6066]

MvC 2 plays just fine on my older 351 so the 353 should be able to run it no problem.

[@xkingxK1773R]

Can it play 3ds games ?

[@Robtech]

No, not a chance.

[@xkingxK1773R]

@@Robtech oh ok, cool video btw 👍

[@L337g4m3r]

It is great but the software needs an update. The Linux side uses Retroarch (yuk) and as a result the performance is not as good as it could be. For example Megadrive/Genesis suffers from massive frame drops and stutters in fast scrolling games like Sonic. This is unacceptable for a system as old as Megadrive. The same emulator in the Android side is much smoother. Maybe a different core would work better but how to change cores? It seems locked down. Also no matter what you do the sound samples for MAME do not work no matter where you put them, including the place recommended by Anbernic in the txt file. So nice hardware but software needs to improve or you need to mess with CFW such as jelos and hope all of the hardware functions like WIFI and HDMI work right.
