3DS is retro now. I am finally a boomer.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Retro as in retro gaming I assume. It's good for emulation and you can comfortably play DS games on it too.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I think it’s more that it’s an excellent emulation device.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

put it this way, it's the new nintendo 3ds. it can't ever be retro; it's the new version

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I mean, it’s a pretty solid 8 and 16 bit emulation device and can natively play GBA and NDS games. What’s not to like?

It’s in quotes in the title. And the second is a hardware emulator. They’re all for emulation.

I have a lot of questions.

Number one, how dare you?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Number two, what is that gameboy build? Looks slick as hell.

I'm pretty sure it's an Anbernic RG35XX

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

$55? Pretty acceptable to me. I'm in love with that bezeless screen

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yup, it's the RG35XX.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That's either a Miyoo Mini Plus or an Anbernic RG5XX. And if I'm not mistaken, it's the latter.

What happened to the 2nd screen on the 3DS?!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Somehow the reflection of my ceiling matched the color of the pad underneath perfectly.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What are the two on the left?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The two gaming systems? They're a "New" 3DS and an Anbernic RG35XX.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How do you like the Anbernic? What made you choose that over the Miyoo Mini Plus? if you don’t mind me asking.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Really enjoy it. I chose it over the Miyoo Mini Plus because apparently, from what I've researched, it comes with a better-quality display and the extra chin under the face buttons adds to the comfort in hand over time (can confirm it's very comfortable). Also, I was able to find it for cheaper, so that was just the icing on the cake.

Thanks, looks pretty cool. Maybe in the 75 form factor for me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Slick AF, I love it!

In terms of their aesthetic, at least. Nuphy Air60 and the retro version of the Xtrfy M8 Wireless.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You like your Abernic? I’m thinking about getting an RG353V

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Oh yeah I love it. Very, very impressed with how great the build quality is for a device this price.

Yeah, it's nice. I've had it 2 years now. It's sturdy, hasn't broken yet. I'm not feeling the need to upgrade yet. If I was buying new, I'd get something newer. I was considering a GPD Win Mini, but $1000 is a lot and GPD has so many QA issues,
