Retroid Pocket 5 - First Impressions & Game Showcase!

Sticking with our S21FE (SD 888) and Galileo G8, for a fraction of the price. Absolutely glorious, blasting through Chained Echoes in all its AMOLED glory!

Thanks for this. Really helps.

Dude is emulating Wii U on here? how

inc nintendo strike for the musicm specially with their new app

I didn't think these GC games were 16:9? Are they modified ROMs?

Pre ordered!🎉

Dayyum im even scared to writte the name of the italian plumber company in comment section, this dude has balls of steel 😂

Es imposible ver tu vídeo con tanta interrupción de publicidad. Es insoportable. Lo siento. Tengo que dejarlo.

So pumped for this. TSP was my first handheld and love it to bits, my dream was always to have same form factor with more power, this is gonna be my end game

The rp4p can do switch but not this should I get a refund or is it cos yours is a review using the rpmini seems fine with switch from other videos

Congratulations :) 🎉

For that price I'd rather get the RG556, plays everything I need and much cheaper.

Why are you using open gl and not vulkan?

does all the ps2 games work? fighting Games?? thanks

what is better this or the odin 2 mini? what is stronger?

screen looks awesome, shame about the processor.... I love the sd8 gen 2 too much to go to a weaker chip.

You didn’t show how well RP Mini can play switch as compared to RP5

How come the screen seems smaller than the rg556 ?!?

13 probably broke his version of Sudachi

I'm sad they didn't have a left joystick up top option for this.

I wouldn't recommend this. It constantly crashes and it just doesn't have enough power to run GameCube and ps2. Everything under is perfect though

What hack/mod is that for Windwaker to get widescreen?

JUST PRE-ORDERED MINE. HOPE ITS UP TO THE TASK OF PLAYING THE GETAWAY, TRANSFORMERS AND THE PUNISHER ON PS2

Hehehe, Joey said f em I do what i want 😂

I loved the Odin 2, but it was just too big. The RP4 was just ugly. I'm looking forward to this new RP5!!!

question about the cemu and sudachi experience; do you think that with enough time the hardware of the rp5 will be strong enough to handle switch/wiiu or do one simply need something more powerful (888 or better)

I'm so hyped for this device. I need that gc colorway bad 👀

Correction Joey!! The RG556 did get 1x update officially from Anbernic and later an unofficial community update (for the sticks)

Now this is a review

Might be the best looking gba games I've ever seen

This is the first handheld I’ve bought since the switch and my switch got stolen in 2022, didn’t even know it was coming out was on the website to buy the rp4 pro and I’m so happy I bought this. Now I just need to stay patient til it ships

I actually thought of skipping this since I have the RG Cube and a lot of 4:3 systems but seeing Twilight Princess and other GC games in widescreen… oh man it might fit DS too and that screen looks oh so sweet

As someone with a PS5, I find the layout of the joysticks familiar. The d-pad top layout gets kinda weird when I'm playing BOTW, but that's just personal preference. Also, thanks for an in-depth first look.

Can you play vertical games in Tate mode with the RP5?

i love me some timestamps bro

This is the device I’ve been waiting for!! I’ve been holding off on buying any of the handhelds that can run PS2, GC, and Wii because I wanted more out of the retroid pocket 4 and the Odin 2 is just too expensive to justify to myself. This is the price to performance I’ve been waiting for and that OLED screen is the cherry on top.

Hi Joey, how did your thumbs feel after all this testing? I come from asymmetrical sticks and haven't used a device with symmetrical sticks before. Ergonomically does it feel serviceable? Big fan of twin-stick games so I'm hoping this will be solid.

Shit I'm really regretting my Mini.

would love to hear something about winlator performance comparison between rp5 and odin mini.

would’ve liked if they sacrificed some screen size and pushed the controls in to make it a bit more compact in size like the vita

Does it come with games installed?

I just wish they put something more powerful in it. They are the perfect size for EDC

Can it play links awakening remake if so then I am pulling the trigger

Count how many times he cleans the screen, I'm good I'll wait until these companies perfect these devices because this is not perfect at all for todays standards.

This is exactly the handheld i envisioned many years ago.
From the specs to the bezelless screen and body.
Very sleek looking device cant wait till mine arrives

I was looking for my first handheld retro emulation device for quite a while and this is it. Build quality, OLED screen, the size... It's perfect. Got it preordered. I honestly can't wait.

it was a 666 likes happy to be 667! lol

Why’s 3DS slowing down?
