The SNES-inspired RG353P handheld is... bringing retro back, yeah!
This listing is for the Games console and 16GB OS card.
If you are wanting the optional card for the 2nd slot, look at our bundle option.
Not only does the RG353P look super comfy to hold with all the edges gone, but it comes with the 640 * 480 3.5" touch screen. Sporting the new RK3566 and finally, 2GB RAM means retro gaming should run a fair bit smoother than the 351 range.
If we're talking retro, then the SNES-inspired design brings it in spades. Add Android 11 along with a touchscreen and this should be a retro and modern game handheld of joy. The contoured case should make it super comfy for your hands too.
The RG353P is 1.6cm narrower than the RG503 and 2cm narrower than the RG552. The screen is the same size as the 351V and 351MP with added touchscreen function for the Android interface, games and apps.
and YES, we finally have stacked shoulder buttons.
The Anbernic RG353P comes with HDMI so you can connect to a bigger screen. You can also connect an external gamepad via the USB C port or using Bluetooth 4.2.
What games can the RG353P emulate?
Given the Nintendo nostalgia this handheld oozes, it's only fitting that it plays N64, DS and Super Nintendo very well. Given the 2GB RAM and the faster processor you'll find the 353V will not only power through older titles but smoothly run many PlayStation 1 titles, more PlayStation Portable and while Dreamcast is better it's still hit and miss on more demanding games. The benefit over the 351X range here is less time tweaking and more time playing. The newer processor also generates less heat with longer game time between charges.
For those who like Android, you have the option of booting into the Android 11 interface and considering 2x resolution on games and consoles like DS, N64, SNES and so on.
On the Batocera Linux side, from the factory, the RG353 runs the same front end as the RG503 and RG553 being Emulationstation and RetroArch.
The upgraded hardware, 4:3 Aspect Ratio and touchscreen as mentioned make it perfect for Nintendo DS emulation.
Dreamcast and Saturn however are hit n miss on the stock firmware.
While GameCube isn't its speciality, some of the easier titles will work well but PS2 is a no-go.
The large body also means a more comfortable hold and nicely placed fingers on the stacked shoulder buttons.
Happy retro gaming.Game Play
