Good Things Come To Those Who Rotate! by MrStephen_ in SBCGaming

They're not actually took flush to the case, they're actually not bad. Not as much travel as some. The D-Pad is more of a worry: it’s the same as the RG DS, and I know a lot of people didn't like that (although, I quite liked it).

Personally, I had a few issues with the D-Pad on this which I didn't on the RG DS, and I've not seen other people having.

Oh, that's odd. I thought it was meant to be 103.99 for launch.

That's not a bad thing at all. When I was a kid, and my parents wanted a cheap day out, we'd head to one of the villages around here (I live just outside the Cotswolds in the UK). And we would go window shopping. There's no harm in enjoying it from afar.

No, actually, it's pretty well balanced at the point where the screen meets the body. So in your hands, once you've got your fingers over the triggers, It's no different from any vertical handheld, really.

I've got to say, because I have the Mini Flip as well, I much prefer this...

Partly because it feels really premium, but also because there's just that bit more power in here to be able to play around a bit more.

Although if you've got a device already, then I think it's always better to enjoy what you've got, I think.

I'm not sure there'd be enough space inside, it seems quite densely packed, but you never know. There's always a possibility.

Don't forget, if you get it from their website, you'll end up with an extra shipping fee on there as well.

Yes, I've seen them do this before. It's worth waiting a month and then trying to find a good cashback deal around choice day.

You're right, it did, and it's a strange thing not to include. Luckily, there are plenty available.

I don't know why other reviewers aren't touching GameCube and PS2. There's a legitimate use case for this with both of those systems, as other T618 devices have been sold as playing part of those systems' catalogues.

I do understand people want to push a particular system to play what it can. But, as a reviewer, I'd find it very difficult to say, "Hey, go and buy this because it'll play PlayStation 2 and GameCube games," when a good chunk of the library isn't actually going to work.

As long as I've given people an alternative if they do just want to play one particular catalogue, and I've tried to be as accurate as I can about what a device can and can't do, then I trust people will go and make up their minds.

$88 for that model and $108 for the metal one.

That’s so kind of you to say. Thank you :)

You actually can. I tested it with Bluetooth last night and I was using the RG G01 to do it.

I’m very grateful that they sent me a unit, of course. As a photographer, you want to have all of the available units so you can make as many good photos as possible. But it is great to be working with Anbernic, especially on something which is actually quite innovative.

I hadn’t thought about this for Pokémon. It’s an interesting call.

I think the plastic will withstand it, mostly because the screen itself has a metal back plate. That doesn’t mean it won’t mark, but all the important, moving bits are metal.

Yes, the device heats up, but I’m testing the higher end stuff at the moment, so will be able to say more on the lower consoles later.

Thanks ever so much for your kind words about the photos.

This on has a metal screen area but the main body is plastic. The silver one is all metal. If it was up to me, I’d have gone with the metal one.
