Comment on ANBERNIC Officially Reveals New RG40XX H After Recent Leaks | Retro Dodo
Noite_Etion@lemmy.world 2 months agoThe predecessor weighs more than a PS4 controller, costs more than a controller, doesn’t stay charged as long as either a phone or a controller, has a low resolution screen, less storage and it cannot run as many games/emulators as a modern phone.
But yes its money well spent and you dont have to carry about a controller which weighs around half of your hand hold… What a deal!
I’ll keep playing games for free with better graphics and a bigger library.

Sheesh, we get it. You’re not the target audience

I asked why someone should buy one of these things instead of using what you already have, and every reason given was poorly thought out and was unable to explain or justify the purchase.
Seems like the target audience are idiots with spare cash, who are impressed by glowing analogue sticks and poor functionality.

A d-pad with tactile buttons, a non-android (or iOS) system that takes micro sd cards are pretty good reasons. And the functionality is very good. Not sure why you assume it isn’t.

What console controller doesn’t have that? Plus they tend to fit your hands. This thing looks like a portable hand cramp.
In what way does andriod or iOS limit your ability to run emulators? Micro SD cards are nice, but total over kill for some N64/Dreamcast roms.
Maybe for PSP games but only if you wanted all of them all the time, and that totals over 1.4 TB of storage, an SD card that can store all that is anywhere from double to 5 times the price of this handheld… What a great feature!
Do you slip it into your pocket next to your phone?
Its functionality is fine, but your phone can do everything this thing can do and more for free since you already own it. The best argument people can make is about the controls which is such an easy problem to solve and often can be done with devices you already have; This $100 thing is an overly niche gimmick.
