12 year old me has never yelled at 33 year old me to buy something louder.

This is the handheld I’ve been waiting for. Love your reviews and thank you!

[LifeMeansHockey]

The GBA SP border was a brilliant idea. Props to whoever came up with that.

[KOTULCN]

Been waiting on a console with this form factor. Thank you for the video!

[Mackie]

This is honestly the exact form factor I’ve wanted from one of these devices for the longest time. The original SP is one of my favourite handhelds 👌🏻

Wish I could buy one! The grey looks amazing. This would help me waiting for my finals to finish (straight a student). Huge pokemon nerd would love to use this on the go and when I finish my work

[rabidmonk]

I'm glad they went without joysticks. Would dedicate it to older retro/handheld games.

[mtbgeologist]

Whenever a device comes out, I always go to you and Retro Game Corps. Both of you make top-tier videos!

[dustinmcd]

The nostalgia is so high with this, just hits different than the previous models

[somerandomkoreaman]

Honestly my dream handheld, flipping handhelds have always been a soft spot for me

[galebourn]

They should have named it the Anberflip

[tonimathias-grumley]

This looks amazing! Im excited to maybe get one. Just been reviewing the reviews!! Thank you! Great review!

[Nobody-mykj]

The grey looks absolutely incredible i really love the nostalgia it reminds me!

[haynaku]

Been wanting a retro handheld for a while, never wanted one so badly cause of this release! The gba colors / grey is such a beautiful match for the console

[PixelShade]

This is honestly is exactly what the emulation handheld space NEED (and what I have wanted for years!). I kind of wish that Anbernic allowed themselves to create their own design a bit more. I bet they wanted to tap into the GBASP-nostalgia, but for me personally I would love to see a metallic housing, near bezel-less laminated display with a nice thin rubber border. I'm also thinking crazy ideas like putting the actual SoC-board on the top part utilizing the screen and a metallic casing as a heat spreaders and then allow the bottom to only house the I/O, audio, battery and charging. (cool and comfortable temperatures where your hands rest) I guess this would rule out HDMI connector due to the added flex cable complexity. But such a design could've made the device as small as a GBA SP, but being much cleaner looking than what Nintendo made in the early 2000's.

The GBA SP was the first handheld I remember having a rechargeable battery. I still remember using that as a bargaining chip when convincing my parents to purchase me one, how we'd save money overall on batteries.

I'm super stoked to see Anbernic improving upon the territory Powkitty laid before them. And Brandon, I don't disagree with your comment about what Anbernic has done this year, except I have been a fan of the RG556. I'm kinda surprised to see so little about it from you and all of the greats! It's pretty nice for what it can do and at its price point. A little more expensive, yes, but comfortable and capable. Thanks for what YOU do, brother!

[joefitz]

This is the exact style device I have wanted for a while, I’m surprised this came out before the Miyoo Mini Flip! Cheers Retro Dodo - hang in there guys!!!

[voffie]

I was thinking of modding my OG SP but this device takes the crown for me.

[hindmarch]

Great work mate, just finished the book as well, lovely stuff!
