  • About the product:
    • Anbernic RG35XX H, a gaming handheld that was showcased in late 2023, was released less than two months after the RG35XX Plus, which served as its foundation. Contrary to its predecessors, the RG35XX H adopts a horizontal layout, while the previous RG35XX series only offered a vertical gaming handheld option. In essence, the RG35XX H combines a 3.5-inch IPS display with an Allwinner H700 chipset. Additionally, this gaming handheld is equipped with 1 GB of LPDDR4 RAM, dual microSD card slots, and a 3,300 mAh battery that has been tested to last approximately 8 hours when running PS1 game emulations. Furthermore, Anbernic has included Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and HDMI connectivity to facilitate multiplayer gaming, wireless controller support, and external monitor output. In a nutshell, the Anbernic RG35XX H is the horizontal version of the very popular RG35XX Plus, a handheld that sits high in the best retro handhelds list.

Agreed. Fun info about modding a 3ds, but not a comparable price point. Also modding a 3DS or w/e sounds a lot more intimidating than purchasing one of these that comes with 5000+ games already on it.

Quote from 3pinephrine :
Wow if I didn't have a R35XX already I'd have grabbed this. But I don't touch my RG35XX nearly enough to justify putting more money into a retro console
I don't think u made the wrong decision. Retro gaming doesn't last too long to warrant any investment. $40-ish should be the spot. Consider it as saving yourself $20 from another junk sitting around the house. Also, we do not know the longevity of these handhelds. Some owners already complained after a few months that the units don't turn on without extensive use. Others mentioned streaks in the middle of screen.

There is an old saying that the secret of happiness is not in seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy with less.

Portability, battery life, and a lower priced loss if something breaks are the principal advantages of this

You know nobody cares about copyright infringement when "preloaded" stuff like this is so prevalent. Not judging, just glad for the reassurance.
If developers/publishers would rerelease their old retro games more often for an acceptable price then there wouldn't be as much of a necessity for these type of devices. Nobody's going out of their way to find an old Genesis or SNES in working condition and hunt down all the game cartridge they want.

I had one of these, but it ended up on a shelf in favor of 3DS instead, they are just easier to use 🤷 ♂️

Not bad for price. Depending on what you want to emulate, picking up an old 3DS (and installing CFW) would likely make one a lot happier, however.

3DS can run 3DS, DSi, DS, GBA / GB, N64, SNES, NES. DS goes without saying, but the 3DS has the GB kernel and a more native experience. Certainly, most old retro non-Nintendo consoles will also work just fine. New 3DS can additionally run New 3DS games (very small selection) and has more processing power for potential emulation.
Switch lite (Nintendo refurb for 160) is much more capable if you can install HWFLY chip, add CFW and you can emulate many systems on it

I have a steam deck and I still want this.

Something like this would be much easier to have handy and play more often on downtime plus the battery life.

On eBay a 3DS is going for around $60 and the XL is going for $80 or so. You may check the FB Marketplace and find them cheaper

This has a faster processor than the standard RG35XX and also has analog sticks.

Processor and GPU is the same as the RG35xx Plus.
So this can run Gamecube and Dreamcast?

Nonsense, none of the ones anywhere near 60 is in working condition, they're all for parts

3ds costs more than 65, depending on the market. Average is over 100. 3ds you're getting old hardware unless you pay hundreds or get really lucky, it weighs more and it's a clamshell design which requires it to unfold into something much bigger and doesn't have an IPS screen unless you get lucky.

You're comparing apples to oranges

with that said I love my 3ds for the things it can do and for what it is, but not a good comparison
I'm saying it would likely make one a lot happier for the price, compared to this one (happiness / $).

There are options beyond New 3DS / New 3DS XL and 3DS / 3DS XL. There's also 2DS / 2DS XL, which works great if you don't care about 3D, and can run anything the 3DS can run. You can pick up the cheapest 3DS or 2DS for around or less than $100. Refurbished 2DS XL could be had for $100 even 4 years ago. Nowadays, could grab an old 2DS for $50-$80.

If you want even cheaper and don't care about 3DS titles at all, you can also pick up older consoles like the DSi, for instance. But certainly far less versaility in what you can run. 3DS/2DS family is the gold standard, and definitely worth getting over the others.
