How the retro gaming scene works: Step one: Spend 1000 hours researching, comparing, purchasing, tweaking and messing around with the hardware. Step 2: Spend 10 hours playing the games.

Whoa. Your diagram game is ON POINT. That deserves a subscription.

Getting myself back into the handheld scene after a long time and this was helpful. I'm really enjoying your videos!

[Jayanky]

My man trying to play on 2 consoles at once for the comparison, respect.

I am just going to state this....I have been looking for a channel that FINALLY has a color "wheel" comparison chart so I can finally fully see the actual nuances. THANK YOU!!! Please do not change this format!!

[Darloyman]

You are the best reviewer I have ever found. Lots of love goes out to you. You are very helpfully and informative

[Internalocus]

Excellent work. You can't ask for a better guide on these things

[thecentralscrutinizer]

One of the best YouTube stumbles ever for me. Very well spoken and a very in depth and informative review. My problem: I'm torn which one to buy!

[ZForceFFC]

I liked seeing the comparisons, pros and cons of each system, as I was considering all 3 of them at one point. I went with the 351P because I liked the layout of the controls, and I do also like that it uses the Emulation Station interface. I don't really care about playing the high end stuff too much, I mostly wanted something to play the old school handheld games on (GB, Game Gear, etc) so I dug the fact that it had a color that matched my original GBA too :)

[ToothpickMan]

This comparison was excellent. You explained the pros and cons of each very well and it made it really easy to narrow it down to whats best for me. Keep it up.

[ShadesGameSource]

Thanks so much for the video!
I'm DYINGG for Anbernic to release a 351p with a 640x480 display.

You saved me hours of research and I could get straight to buying and having endorphine kicks :D

[PestusKrokenstein]

So, we have to choose between the RG350M with perfect aluminium case, perfect sticks, perfect screen but not enough powerful ; the RG351P with good plastic case, perfect sticks, enough powerful but shitty screen and the retroid pocket 2 with shitty plastic, shitty sticks but enough powerful and perfect screen. Waiting for a retroid pocket 3, a RG351M or something else seems the best choice. ;)

You know what ? I love you guys to have had the patience to have tested all of these stuffs.

That's a big mood because I never play the games

[nighcruzade]

Congratulations, great review, you speak about all the aspects, nice and clear.

[Supayone]

I've been researching and when it comes down to it? Ps1 and SNES RPGs are what I will play most. This put the nail in the coffin for me. I'm going with the 350M as the screen ratio throws me off. Thanks for the review, it helped me pick one.

[janiutseri]

I really appreciate you take a second or two breather between sections. Really makes the content more pleasant, and shows the thought went into it.

[Raphtor]

Good comparison video! I actually ended up getting all three of those though I had decided against the RG351P...funny thing is once I got it the 351P became my favorite quickly. I kept telling myself since I decided against a new PS5 and XBOX this year that I might as well get the retro handhelds for my husband and I.

[TallaGrass]

Wow, I'm stunned at how comprehensive this review was. Way to kickass mate!

[xylsky]

Instantly subscribed. Very well explained through visuals, charts and numbers. I can't believe I didn't find this channel until now.
