  • The Retroid Pocket Flip is a beautiful device, that's super capable. But it isn't without its quirks! Here's my review after using the Retroid Pocket Flip extensively for the past 3 weeks.

    I'm going to purchase one for exactly the same reasons, I love the clamshell design. It can just be thrown in whatever and the screen is protected, something I cannot do with my RG503. I own a steam deck, but just want something light for travel with limited hand luggage weight or to take on flights/coaches/trains etc. Steam deck in a third party case with everything (Power bank, 3rd party 65W international charger( Thank you for that one, worked a treat in Spain), Bluetooth controller, wireless ear buds, mp3 player and a wireless keyboard and mouse weighs about 5KG. Ok if going on long holidays where you know you are going to play it, but just for short ones where maybe a quick burst of gaming is required, I'd like something more portable. Once again a great video which seems to be in sync with my thinking.

    • @Emily_Lowrey
      @Emily_Lowrey  Год назад

      Absolutely - once you add a power bank to the steam deck and the other accessories it’s a huge undertaking! The Flip is sooo handy for shorter trips!

    Man, totally agree with you on choice paralysis. I got into hording PC games, but finally uninstalling things has felt great.
    Hoping they make a Flip+ soon.

    Great review, I had a GPD XD and the clamshell desing is awesome in these handhelds. Unfortunatelly with a deck I can't justify buying this

    • @doh4828
      @doh4828 10 месяцев назад

      Justification is overrated anyway😅 I have a Steamdeck as well, which I l absolutely love, but as far as handhelds go is at the extreme opposite end of ‘portable’. I can see myself take this to friends, hook it up to a TV with a couple of bt gamepads and rock some retro games. Above all it’s the clamshell design: I cherish my GBA SP Special NES-edition, my white DS-Lite, my DSi XL (so awesome) and my 3DS XL Samus edition.

  • @solm67
    @solm67 Год назад

    Excellent video Emily. I don’t think I would really need this as I have a Steam Deck, 3DS XL and a ps vita. So for gaming on the go I’m sorted. I do like the clam shell design but it’s a little to pricey for me.

    I'm with you on having too many games. I don't collect all of these handhelds like some people, but I do have a few just for different form factors. If it's a device that I'll only use occasionally, I've decided to only put my favorite games on it so it's less overwhelming.

    I’m not going to lie, I am tempted to buy one of these 😅

    Great review though, cheers

    The screen is protected but I'd still NEVER throw it in a bag without a case because I don't want the shell to get scratched either.

    how does it handle gamecube emulation? thanks for the video. hope we see more clamshell devices on the market

    • @Emily_Lowrey
      @Emily_Lowrey  Год назад

      It depends on the game. Some play fine, some are awful. For example, the racing game, F-Zero GX, was very stuttery, I deleted that. But then some classics like Luigis Mansion, Mario Kart, and Metroid Prime were fine 😊

    Sorry for the likely stupid question but does anyone know if I have to download a separate emulator to play the PAL version of PlayStation 2 games? Some of the games I want to play perform better if they're the PAL version.

    Hi Emily, the Retroid Pocket Flip looks awesome! I enjoyed checking it out with my best friend. The emulation looks really nice. It is convenient that you can play classic Gameboy, Gamecube and PSP and N64 games. I have a question about the Retroid Pocket Flip

      @@glx3846 Retroid Flip comes with 128GB of onboard ROM. Plus a Micro SD card slot for up to 1TB. You can fit however many games you want within those. And since it is based on Android 11, it can do multiplayer--depending on the game. Emulation-wise, it does all the retro games up to PS2 and Gamecube. It can also stream games from your PC/Steam, and from PS4/PS5--despite having to use Sony's proprietary Dualshock controller. You can also connect it to a monitor/TV via mini HDMI to HDMI cable.
