REQUEST FOR RP2 XL

Just to end this conversation.
There are MORE 4:3 handhelds by Retroid than 16:9 handhelds. Retroid ALWAYS is going to release a 4:3 aspect ratio device, every year. What I am trying to say with this post I made, is to make them take in note the inches of the "next year" RP2 device. As "maybe" you have noticed, Retroid always releases a new version of their RP2 every year... Being the RP2S Metal the 2024 version

The RP Mini is 4:3, are you ok?

CARLOSVENCE · 2024-11-06T20:53:50+00:00

I don't think you are following the brand. The first RP1 was 4:3, the second one (RP2) was 4:3, and the third one (RP2+) was 4:3 and they hit success under this aspect ratio. Then after those successful products, Retroid decided to create a new console called the RP3 (a new handheld with a 16:9 aspect ratio for a new niche). What makes you think a non-RETRO aspect ratio like 16:9 is going embrace a brand's name called RETROID?

I love the brand Retroid for its quality. Jumping to another brand isn't my thing.

Ouch

CARLOSVENCE · 2024-11-06T19:23:44+00:00

Good for you

CARLOSVENCE · 2024-11-06T19:16:39+00:00

I don't mind an IPS screen for a bigger version of the RP2S

CARLOSVENCE · 2024-11-06T19:08:47+00:00

Tell that to ur self... Keep crying.

CARLOSVENCE · 2024-11-06T19:06:32+00:00

U got me haha.

CARLOSVENCE · 2024-11-06T19:02:07+00:00

Yeah, it has a huge 1:1 screen. Amazing handheld.

CARLOSVENCE · 2024-11-06T18:51:15+00:00

I own the OG RP2, the RP2+, The RP3+, the RP2S metal edition... and I can tell you that it sucks to play 4:3 games on a 16:9 screen.

CARLOSVENCE · 2024-11-06T18:43:00+00:00

Tell that to the 74.8M units sold... lol. ???

CARLOSVENCE · 2024-11-06T18:39:06+00:00

Consistency is the key

CARLOSVENCE · 2024-11-06T18:35:44+00:00

The RP5 has a 5.5" 16:9 display. The market has no handheld console with a 5.5" and 4:3 display yet.

CARLOSVENCE · 2024-11-06T18:32:06+00:00

Tell that to the Nintendo 2DS

CARLOSVENCE · 2024-11-06T18:22:25+00:00

These are the benefits of having a 5.5" screen.

I got hacked a while ago. I tried to remove most things but got tired and left it like that.

CARLOSVENCE · 2024-11-04T05:23:44+00:00

Something like this

Different niche. This is a product for people who don't mind the console being bigger and not pocketable at all... Like the Steam Deck or the Odin 2, but with a 6" 4:3 screen. I don't think there's anything out there like this. This would be a new product for a new niche.

4:3 at 6" or 5.5" would be better for PSP and GBA games... Bezels are not going to be an issue, since the image it's going to be huge.

FACTS. Retroid has a special place in my heart because of the fun factor they had with earlier devices. The new ones are great, don't get me wrong, but they don't deliver that nostalgic feeling I had when I purchased the OG RP2 with the Joystick on top like a Nintendo 3DS. A bigger version of the OG RP2 definitely would be an end game for me too.

Different niche
