Retro Handheld Game Console,Portable Game Mini Aluminum Alloy with 1.54 Inch IPS Screen,with 64G TF Card Pre-Installed 5405 Games Supports Clock Hi-fi Speaker

Exceeds expectations- the new-toy feeling has worn off, five hours in.I fully expected a lot of setup. There was some customization in the skin, there are two launchers… The clock had been the only remotely challenging part. The buttons are firm and responsive, input isn’t a problem. The size is VERY SMALL (larger yet normal size paperclip for scale) and larger hands may have issues with the ABXY spacing- I do not. There isn’t a fast forward option in any of the native emulators. Has a ton of content I’ve never heard of before, no errors in emulation or unexpected operation yet. (It does not charge with a power adaptor/wall wort, it needs to use another device’s USB port.) The battery itself is surprisingly longlasting given the size. The screen is crisp. I think there’s only one speaker; the lowest volume and brightness settings are sufficient for me.Some people were saying it ships loose in a box. Mine came packed incredibly well with a foam cover over the screen, bagged separately and wedged in place. The cords were in their own bags, in a smaller box. There was a foam insert holding the keychain clip well away from the screen. Overall very impressed.

I came in with the understanding that this is a tiny system and some games aren't going to be practical to play - which I was ok with because I have a larger emulator that can fill that role. Primarily bought this for quick pick up and play Gameboy classic and color games, to essentially be that Gameboy I took everywhere when I was a kid. Size is small, hardly notice it in my pocket. In the hand it feels very solid. Buttons are a bit tiny but I've been able to quickly adapt. Haven't fully seen the lifespan of the battery but reportedly gets 2-3 hours of battery life. A bit short but I'm not going to be playing a full 2-hour session on it, more of something to play on break at work, in line, or waiting when out and about.Screen is very bright, ended up bringing it down to its lowest setting, also will help with battery life. Overall, happy with this device, can relive some of the classics I played growing up!

Wanted to love this, but it just didn’t work. The first one would boot up sometimes, but when it did, it would have an error across the top of the screen that said “Root is not the last partition. Don’t know how to expand, aborting” which took up a good portion of the screen and made it unplayable. Sent it back for a return, and the replacement was completely non-functional. You can see the screen backlight come on, but it never booted anything at all.Build quality was nice and it’s super portable. I wish so much it would just work well, but alas, after two attempts, they were both basically paperweights.

Beautiful CNC aluminum body with a strong processor, comes pre loaded with run of the mill classic games like Pokemon and The legend of Zelda. Comes equipped with two launchers pre loaded with customizable color schemes. Variable brightness and volume control not only from the menu but from the hot key controls as well. Boots up very fast with zero lag on what I’ve played so far, has never crashed or glitched either. Another cool function is that you can hold the power button down while playing and the system will shut down, and the next time you turn it on it launches the game at the spot you left off on. In game save feature and save states are also available. All in all it’s a very advanced retro handheld in a tiny package. If you’d like more customization for this handheld you can check Etsy which has cases and colored button packs for sale as well. Can’t find a single complaint with this item, it’s awesome. Get one and see for yourself.

I like the idea of a small gameboy-like emulator that can play games between the NES and PS1, however, there are a few flaws I have had when I received it.First, navigating the menus are confusing because the button functions are different in each category. For example, in the Game Emulator menu, the "Back" button is START, but when in the Media menu, the "Back" function is START + SELECT and the device does not give clear instructions what to press.Secondly, although it has a Huge selection of games, I have noticed that a lot of them (I have not tested all of them yet) are in Japanese, even if you choose the English options for both the device and/or the games language upon boot-up. This makes playing some games, like the Final Fantasy series confusing because I cannot read Japanese. I had to uninstall these games and download English versions of the games and reinstalled them.Thirdly, I have noticed that while playing for extended times, the device itself tends to get a bit hot. I'm worried that it might get hot enough to burn tiny hands. However, I have noticed that if you reduce the Brightness and Volume levels, it does not warm up as quickly. Just something to note.The device is good but again, could use some improvements. Overall, I would rate this at a 6/10. A good buy, but not a priority.

I would buy a sideways one with joysticks

This device is very small and borders on being a novelty. I thought I would just show it off as a party trick and not play it much, but the fact that it is inconsequential to carry makes it perfect for gaming on the go. I carry it every day and I’m always pulling it out for 5 to 15 minute sessions in waiting rooms, lines, and before meetings.It has a very small square screen, so I’ve found that Gameboy, Gameboy Color, Game Gear, and Neo Geo Pocket Color are the best systems to emulate on it. If you have other handhelds for more serious gaming then this is the perfect companion. Have fun playing Pokemon, Zelda, and Tetris in the most unexpected places!
