So she sends me this clip for something called Retro Snap, I do a little reading up on it and discover that it’s overpriced, cheap hardware, made by a “business” that ghosts you when you need support, takes down negative reviews and even tries to bribe mods to take down critical posts. For starters. So fuck them.

Looking for alternatives, I learn about Anbernic, and as I’m reading up on them I very quickly feel overwhelmed by the huge variety of consoles on the market and vague info on what games you’ll get or how to get the ones you might want (yes I understand why but still).

So you, smart people, can you help a brother out?

    Eh. That channel seems like paid marketing to me in retrospect. I bought the Anbernic GBA clamshell clone based on his glowing recommendation, and was very disappointed.

        Uncomfortable to hold. Buttons are too clicky, even after the tape mod. Screen is too tiny for games intended to be played on TVs.

          Have you used a gbasp and found it comfortable but the anbernic wasn’t? Or you just don’t like that form in general?
