Retroid Pocket 2 Plus Retro Handheld

Retroid Pocket 2 Plus Retro Handheld

In terms of the actual handheld is say it’s 4.5, only really let down by the slightly weird right stick (the gate feels off or something), kinda wish it was another like the left stick but it is barely used anyway. As for set up I kept getting a load of errors and never actually got it to work as intended, instead I just boot into RetroArch and do everything in there because I couldn’t get the launcher with the nice thumbnails to work properly, and when I did it had 2 warnings to dismiss every time etc. Now that I’ve found a way to use it though and the controls are correct if feels very good to play with, and the battery life seems insane currently. I had 3.5 hours on the train playing earlier this week with Bluetooth headphones and it was still only down to 86%. Overall, very happy with the console, looking forward to playing some other emulated consoles once I work out how to get them rolling.

I’m getting so much joy from this device. I’m on Retro heaven.

Quality device and I couldn’t be happier with this purchase.

Shame about the operating system being Android - has all the trappings of a smart phone. Retro gaming is great if you're tight on time. Also, this is bloody cheap considering the software that is available (multiple games systems).
