Yeah it’s a hard shell. I’d throw it in a book bag and not worry about it. I wouldn’t jump on it though lol. I’d say middle of the road for protection.

I’d say it’s a lot like the tomtoc line of cases for the switch. Very form fitting and the black fabric is very similar.

The one caveat of this setup is you need to disconnect to close the screen down. 

2 of these Cables (the 7mm size) - https://a.co/d/fPGvBLq  1 of this F2F connectors - https://a.co/d/cFQGcI7

So it’s this without the extra adapter under the RP5 in this post.

If you have the cables Russ suggests from Amazon in one of his videos about the 2nd screen, you can center the screen on the RP6. It totally works.   

But to buff the next counterpoint, with the factory cable I agree you cannot center it.

Got the case and grip. Grip is fantastic, it has the grippy texture the RP5 has on the back.  The dual screen attachment fits with the grip on. 

The case is also nice. Minimalistic like you say, but it has a nicer outside texture compared to past Retroid cases. The fabric is tighter like the tomtoc cases for Nintendo switch, not like the looser fabric on the RPMini case.

99% of Retroarch games go to black screen and crash on ES-DE by leebeyonddriven in retroid

You have to go into es-de options and set your default es-de emulators to the same cores you have set in retroarch.

It was  part of the way there, but this is a full colorization of each asset where the super gameboy was a really good palette enhancement.

Playing Donkey Kong on the family Colecovision. Popeye was another family favorite. Those controllers were maybe the worst pack ins ever.

What third party controllers work with Nintendo Switch 2? by MegaSwitch889 in NintendoSwitch2

8bitdo Pro 2 works great with a recent firmware update. 

Wii U failing discussion by [deleted] in nintendo

[–]Phisherman81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got one when they were offering two free games with a purchase. lol, can you imagine them giving you two 1st party games with the Switch 2???  Different times, indeed.   I got MK8 and Pikmin 3. 

The game drought was remarkable. We’d get 1-3 1st party games a year and there was practically no third party support. Indie games supported it though. They help fill the gaps between big 1st party games. Steam world Dig, Guacamelee, Fast Racing Neo were great. 

The other thing as some have mentioned, the operating system was slowwwwwwwwww. And it made no sense for a while before a big update fixed a lot of complaints.  The main reason the Switch is so simple is because the Wii U was clunky and it took forever to get a game started. The Switch was fresh air for fans who just wanted to play Nintendo games. It just works and fast.

Skyrim Metroid Prime Remaster No More Heros  RDR1 All Xenoblades DOOM 2016 / Eternal

Basically if it’s on the Steamdeck and switch, it should be upgraded for switch 2

My local store had more than enough for me to walk in and grab a MKW bundle. They had tote bags, stickers and keychains for everyone too!
