RG350 vs. Game Kiddy / EPIC Wicked Handheld Battle

[@WickedGamerCollector]

Thanks all for watching and hope this video helped out. At the end you need to decide if you like one of these handhelds. For Pure Gaming Video's see the Wicked Gaming Channel - kzbin.info By the way small EDIT ... because of an wicked brainfart. 2:25 Did mension Game Kiddy had 1000Mah Batter needs to be 2300Mah.

Wicked Gamer & Collector hay I saw your purchases on AliExpress! How easy is it to add Roms to these?

[@mattecandini9066]

With the custom firmware 1.7 the brightness can be increased on the RG350 and reaches that of the Kiddy. The sound of the RG350 is much cleaner and less distorted while the greater computational power of the Kiddy does not make up for the lack of many keys. In addition, everyone has their own tastes but I don't think the offset pad is a problem since I have never had any difficulty in using both me and those who have tried it. RG350 has a bigger battery, better energy management and is better built. Then everyone evaluates according to their needs. That's all

[@westonscampbell]

Thanks for mentioning the brightness increase with custom firmware. I've been interested in the RG350 and I was disappointed after learning about the brightness in this video, but your comment made me feel better.

[@mattecandini9066]

@@westonscampbell In the video it seems that the brightness of the rg350 is very weak but in reality it is very good and the colors are turned on at the right point. Don't worry, I've been playing with it for months with great satisfaction

do you have video of the RG350 with firmware 1.7 with better screen ?? i want to see it before buy one of these 2 consoles....

[@mattecandini9066]

@@ryuhollande4267 The screen and brightness are excellent. Remember that "more" in most cases doesn't mean "better". To give you a real example, the normal brightness that is already more than satisfactory is similar to that of 3DS. So evaluate yourself

[@ZodWriter]

Thank-You Wicked Gamer! Great review! Both of these consoles are amazing! Already have a RG350, maybe I'll get the Game Kiddy when Amazon starts selling it. I'm hoping for something featuring specs similar to these with a 7 inch screen.

[@fwdrive4014]

Game Kiddy hands down. I have one, and so far, it plays all my PS1 roms at 60fps. No overclocking, no custom firmware or emulators, just straight out of the box.

[@WickedGamerCollector]

That is what I like.. no messing around with it... just ready to play ! 😎

[@tqatkins]

The 1 crappy analog stick and only 2 shoulder buttons make it make the Game Kiddy uninteresting to me.

[@fwdrive4014]

@@tqatkins L2/R2 kits are available, which adds some functionality. Personally, I bought it for PS1, and all my favourite games are L1/R1 only. I love the 50% CPU and 60 FPS it offers, that's worth more to me than anything :).

[@brandon_leeroy135]

FWDrive I mostly only play JRPG’s and I am looking for a handheld that can play all the old SquareSoft jams. FF 1-9 and the Chrono games. Which system would you suggest for me?

I own both, and I much prefer the RG350 ESPECIALLY for PS1 games - kinda difficult to play a lot of the later PS1 games when you are missing L2 and R2 and dual analog...

[@froggythegamerfrog9810]

On the Retro Game 350 USB 2 is for charging and USB 1 is for adding controller !

[@WVSuspect]

My RG350 finally arrived 2 days ago, I'm so happy with it. Been playing all the old games I used to play like Donkey Kong, Croc, Crash Bandicoot, Streets of Rage, Megaman etc.... it's such a great little console.

[@irishviking4971]

Great video Wicked! Of the two, RG350 is a higher quality build. Also much more fan support for future updates! Second analog makes Ape Escape playable on PSX! Still a fun game in 2020 :)

[@kroser1983]

its time i upgrade from my caanoo but i really cant decide between these two

[@Marc83Aus]

The 350h looks like a protective cover was omitted for the screen, the aluminium model clearly shows a cover, and some other photos of the 350h do clearly show a presumably plastic cover... Interestingly earlier pictures show a model without that clear square cutout at the front, with a flush front that perfectly covers the screen. Must have been a design change made early on, to protect the bare screen then for whatever reason the plastic cover was omitted.

[@rushirajmahida]

Both have a wifi support???

[@grantdeancommons5390]

Thanks for the review the wicked gamer ,a fair unbiased review 👍😊

[@timperry8961]

Gamekiddy is 2300 mah battery, right? It says so on the backplate...

[@jesseboy7951]

[@hvskyline1368]

I'm getting the 350 I really wanted to get this for ps1 games and I love analouge sticks lr l and 2 buttons and all the ports I like tactile feedback while adjusting volume and stuff the powkiddy would drive me crazy

[@nickdeboey1960]

Nice comparison. The bright screen might give me a headache.

[@thebocop]

the GKD 350H I just got does not even run Air Zonk on PC engine at 60 frames. These things sorta suck.

[@maps4218]

Thanks for sharing! Is there no dreamcast and java emu on both console? I want to buy but still confuse between fw 2, Rg350 and kiddy?

[@WickedGamerCollector]

Dreamcast is possible with some handhelds only.... most of them are not having 100% support. The best is an Android device with a lot of power and Redream as emulator. So far I know... Retroid Pocket 2 is the best when it comes to budget gaming with dreamcast. Or you need to get the Mogi i7s... that is also an option. 😅

[@lemiastkuosky]

Is it possible to use the Kiddy screen on the Rg 350?

[@velocityturtle7237]

Is it easier or the same for one or the other to download games onto the device? i ordered the GKD350 from aliexpress, pretty sure ill need to download my own games and i dont know how and idk if there is a guide out there to download roms soooo yeah.

[@tqatkins]

Did you have the brightness turned all the way up on the RG350 for this review?

[@zockeromi1970]

I really like the RG 350 and so far would also consider buying the RH, but i don’t like the battery solution

[@jamiemorgan3649]

Hey Wicked. Other than the GPD XD or PSP what handheld option do you reccomend for multi emulation from NES up to PS1

[@PSVitaFan]

On the rg350 I was able to get 3DO Running, but it was really slow. I was also able to get Saturn running with retroarch. But again, it was unplayable. I'm curious to see if the game kiddie will run them since it can be overclocked. Could you do a video seeing if iy can run those systems?

[@mgtowlite7414]

I personally would prefer the *Playgo* AKA *PocketGo 2* AKA *Miyoo Max* as a replacement for my ageing *GCW Zero.*

[@Statistic189]

I have one, dont. The analog stick falls out on its own. The screen has light bleed, and thr dpad doesnt work. Got replacements and still the same issues. Its a nightmare of a mess of a system

[@Statistic189]

Luis Pedro Ruiz García both are the same. One is not a revised version. It just indicates where you purchased it from. Do not buy pocket go or play go at all. RG350 is definitely superior in all ways. I own them all.

You can have Shapways or a local 3d printing group make handles for the rg350 making it comfortable to us the D pad and then release the 3d model so I can get one made.

@@manicminer1976 didnt know that.. so whats the use of an hdmi port..🙄

[@yllib2012]

I'll gladly give up the little bit of power increase to keep L2 and R2. I have no issue with only one joystick. I don't wat to take out screws to get to the battery and internal SD. Neither one of these would be my pick. I have 2 RG350s in aluminum cases and a couple of PlayGo handhelds. Both have the same power but I still like the PlayGo over the RG350. Until I see L2 and R2 added to the GK 350H it's completely off my list.
