SNES is Awesome on the Powkiddy RGB30!

[@senorsombrero]

Mario paint - a man of culture. Remember playing it at my neighbours house on launch (Europe) as he got every new big name game.

I presently possess the Powkiddy RGB 30, and I've enhanced the joysticks by installing the Gulikit Hall sensor ones, resulting in a significant improvement. Additionally, I've upgraded the SD card to 256 GB to accommodate a larger collection of ROMs. Personally, I lean towards ArkOS, and I must say it's an impressive little device. I'm extremely satisfied with its performance. Having tested the majority of Dreamcast games, I found that most of them run smoothly. The standout feature, for me, is the exceptional screen quality. This device continues to exceed my expectations.

It's kinda funny because I was a Sega kid but I remember going to my best friends house to play SNES and he had ALL the cool games. Zelda, Super Metroid, Castlevania etc. I had such cool memories sleeping over or going after school to his house or mine to play games. They def hold up so well today for sure.

Great video! :) I was born in ‘92 but I remember my older brother had the snes and I used to watch him play it growing up. I still remember the day he got the n64 for Christmas and he was freaking out from excitement. The n64 is the console I grew up playing the most and I loved it :)

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

Very cool!

[@RarivMorben]

Great colour. I have a soft spot for this device. The white, yellow and purple colours are great, and the form factor gives it character. Might be a future purchase.

[@jonathonearl482]

I got the Purple B30 as well! From your list I like Tetris Attack, A Link From The Past and Super Mario Kart as well. Though, my most favorite SNES games are Super Metroid, Wordtris, Yoshi's Story, On The Ball, Pac Attack, NBA Give N Go, Frank Thomas: Big Hurt Baseball, Championship Pool, Side Pocket, Top Gear 2, Top Gear 3000, Rock & Roll Racing, Judge Dredd, Pieces, Xardion, A Link To The Past, Wheel Of Fortune, Family Feud, Ultimate MK3, Brunswick World: Tournament Of Champions, Doctor Mario.

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

Great list!

[@Pridetoons]

I like that shade of purple it's cute.

[@toycoma98]

Rock n Roll Racing is my favorite snes game of all time. I still play it on my miyoo mini plus.

[@jonathonearl482]

That really is a great game, I like it as well!

[@Pridetoons]

I worked for all my Video Games and Toys as a kid. 😊

[@JaviPlayRetro]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Video. Loved the unique picks. I personally love Super Buster Bros.

[@codysluis7521]

I remember renting the earthworm Jim games alot but never getting all the way through them, always fun to play but another hard one for kids

[@mattdavis9601]

Firstly, can we acknowledge the clever thumbnail design of using the handheld as a cart? It'd be kind of cool if they made a SNES multi-cart with a screen on the side that'd show the original sticker or box art of whatever game you're playing. Patent pending! Secondly, I have never played SNES on original hardware. I don't even think I've emulated it at any point. If a SNES game wasn't ported to GBA or Genesis then I haven't played it. By and large I've never felt like I was missing out; but, a few of these games look legitimately good even without nostalgia goggles. Maybe I should give SNES a go at some point?

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

Thank you! I thought it was clever lol Yes, please play SNES. I wouldn't be able to look at you the same way ever again if you don't. Do it!

[@williamkellogg5901]

Have you tried connecting two wired 8bitdo controllers and playing SNES Mario Kart on the RGB30? Trying to find the best handheld for this…

[@djmajor1597]

What handheld is the most comfortable, quintessential way to experience SNES games to you if not this one? I was going to buy this solely for the screen size for SNES play

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

Anbernic RG353P or PS.

[@t.j.maxxxrazor5935]

Where did you get those button or how did you color your buttons? Hate that they come mono black off the shelf.

[@EnriqueDeloSantos603]

Are the super Mario games pre loaded on the device? I’m searching on line but can’t get a straight answer Did you have to upload super Mario world/ super Mario kart/ super Mario all stars? Or were they already included?

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

No clue, no one should be using the included sd cards or roms.

[@WillC1020]

Also has the RGB30 grown on you? I’ve been thinking about picking one up since it is more affordable these days and the 8:7 ratio looks great for SNES.

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

Negative, still not for me, but had to make a video on it :)

[@AntTerro]

Is there a recommended place that I can take my snes to get refurbished or restored?

[@Tacquito]

Oh Mario paint where’s your mouse!? Oh there it is! ❤❤

[@pspsmallz]

Too bad this handheld still has quality control issues with the battery life. Would have been perfect for pico 8, snes and gb games with that screen, wifi and being on linux so you can download pico 8 games directly on the device. Really wanted to pick up an updated version that fixed the battery issues but they decided to make a horizontal version instead, which doesnt appeal to me for the same reasons this one did.

[@hughwest6808]

For GBA, SNES and NDS would you recommend the RGB30 or rg353ps?

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

I think most would go for the RGB30 for those. Personally, I love the PS, but DS wouldn't be as good on it as the RGB30 is.

[@hughwest6808]

@@JoeysRetroHandhelds Because of the smaller screen size? Because the NDS and rg353ps share the same aspect ratio.

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

Because with the 1:1 aspect ratio on the RGB30, people have been putting both screens on top of each other and that beats what the PS can do.

[@hughwest6808]

@@JoeysRetroHandhelds I see that makes sense, thanks!

[@audiotsignebi]

1:14 You are telling me that cartridge costed 89.99?

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

Yep!

[@audiotsignebi]

​@@JoeysRetroHandhelds and I thought games were cheaper in older days :D I grew up in post soviet country and we only had NES knockoffs, Dendy and things like that. Cartridge costed 2 USD :D Of course It didn't had any battery in it. so there was no saving

[@desinho9]

@@audiotsignebi Street Fighter II Turbo cost, adjusted for local inflation, ~$242 in Europe 😅 and Mortal Kombat II ~174. I see that 89.99 USD would cost $190 adjusted for US inflation too ...

[@tommykrynock]

I see a lot of these handhelds that play up to PlayStation 2 how come none of them play any Xbox games

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

Power mostly and the emulator isn't well developed.
