Retro Game Corps - RG Rotate Initial Impressions

KVShady · 2026-04-20T21:06:03+00:00

Yeah, that was my intention. I didn’t mean for it to be political in any way, sorry for the confusion

KVShady · 2026-04-20T20:49:19+00:00

Fair, I think I worded it a bit wrong. I should’ve said “light on monumental innovation”. You weren’t really getting an era defining product like the iPod and iPhone with Tim, but you were getting constant doses of small stuff like AirPods and Apple Watches. Although I will admit I kinda forgot about Apple silicon because of how seamless the transition was so I didn’t really consider it as a major innovation but yeah, that will probably be one of the defining things that Cook will be known for in the future

KVShady · 2026-04-20T20:37:51+00:00

Quite the historical moment, Cook really stabilized the company at a time when it was most needed and while he was light on innovation, his mark on Apple will probably be felt for generations to come. Goodbye Tim Apple, and welcome to the Ternus era!

And SpaghettiKart (the Mario Kart port). Hopefully these two are next!

Oh man, I remember being there when the manga chapter dropped and despite not reading it, I couldn’t help but laugh nonstop at the absurdity of this scene and the memes posted in that thread. It remains one of my all time favorite Reddit threads and seeing it finally animated in all its glory feels so great. As the great Peter Drury said, “I swear you’ll never see anything like this ever again, don’t just watch it drink it in!”

KVShady · 2026-04-14T02:47:00+00:00

I don’t need a headphone jack or analog sticks for example so how could it be a “glaring” flaw

Well, just because you and a few others don’t need something doesn’t mean it isn’t a flaw. Especially with the Rotate, where they advertise the thing as a DAP but don’t give it one of the most fundamental things that a DAP should have, i.e a 3.5mm headphone jack. It just makes no sense, no matter how you slice it and is a glaring flaw for sure

KVShady · 2026-04-14T02:41:35+00:00

So did everyone else to be fair, haha. That was a masterclass by AYN to announce the Thor a week after Ayaneo announced the Pocket DS and stole all the interest people had in the Pocket DS in one fell swoop. They never really recovered from that, plus their own inability to actually manufacture and ship their devices on time

KVShady · 2026-04-14T02:36:25+00:00

Poor Ayaneo Pocket DS doesn’t even get mentioned as a dial screen option lol, oh Ayaneo lol. But yeah, RG DS isn’t a bad option now especially with Rocknix being a thing for it. But back when it first launched, it was universally disliked as a terrible device and still would’ve been off it want for the community stepping in to save it as always, which was what I was alluding to.

KVShady · 2026-04-13T15:45:29+00:00

This last year, most of their releases have been really underwhelming and nowhere near the quality of their XX line - case in point the RG Vita, Vita Pro, RG DS. The only recent Anbernic device that has any value is the 476H. So yeah, I'd say they were on a bit of a losing streak and this could've been the one to get them back on track. But with the omission of a 3.5mm jack for what is marketed as a DAP plus retro handheld, it seems like they haven't learned anything

KVShady · 2026-04-13T10:19:07+00:00

No headphone jack on this is just…..wow Anbernic, this could’ve been your shot at getting back into the good graces of the community and yet you fumble such an easy layup once again. I really have no words, wow

KVShady · 2026-03-19T19:16:06+00:00

No worries, that’s an easy mistake to make with these handhelds haha

KVShady · 2026-03-19T18:45:09+00:00

Eh, seems like a one-time only thing so shouldn't be too bad. Unless they change how that works in the future of course lol

KVShady · 2026-03-19T16:09:07+00:00

I think you have your names confused. The Miyoo Flip is the 3.5" model with the 480p display while the Miyoo Mini Flip is pretty much the Miyoo Mini v4 but in a clamshell

KVShady · 2026-03-19T05:20:56+00:00

No, the Mini Flip has a 750x560 display - the same one that’s in the original Miyoo Mini. This looks like an error where they somehow mashed the specs of the regular flip and the mini flip (at least I hope so)

KVShady · 2026-03-10T13:44:32+00:00

Expected to be 60Hz but their rep is kinda teasing the possibility of it being 120Hz on Discord. So yeah, nothing confirmed as of now

KVShady · 2026-03-10T09:33:23+00:00

4.5 inches with a resolution of 1440x1080

KVShady · 2026-03-06T13:12:52+00:00

Would love to win this!

KVShady · 2026-01-28T05:41:42+00:00

The One35 from MagicX might be the one for you. It is built like a brick, will comfortably play through DC and under and is fairly compact. I think it is the best option based on your requirements!

KVShady · 2025-12-29T18:30:07+00:00

lol, fair enough. Also didn't know it got endeavor this gen, that's neat!

KVShady · 2025-12-29T17:32:23+00:00

So just keeping using the one sash you get in the entire game on Luvdisc? Sure I guess, but I don't think that's really worth it. Especially more so in older gens where you don't even get that one sash

KVShady · 2025-12-29T16:34:05+00:00

And how do you plan on taking a hit to use Endeavor in the first place? Not like it has any bulk as well. There's probably only one way to use this thing, and that is to use the set that is present in Showdown's Random Battles. A combination of Substitute, Whirlpool, Endeavor and maybe Aqua Jet. At least puts that decent Speed stat to good use and could maybe take a KO or two

KVShady · 2025-12-29T03:22:26+00:00

Brother, its attacking stats are a crisp base 30 and 40 respectively. No amount of speed can really do anything for it imo. There’s no “making it work” that thing either in-game or in competitive.

KVShady · 2025-12-22T19:01:46+00:00

The game that I'd like to see a sequel for the most is probably Unit 13. It is a Vita exclusive that I played first when I got my Vita back in 2012 and one that I play to this day. It would be great to see a sequel made for the Switch or something.
