my Retroid Flip came in yesterday and I'm already a big fan of it. got RetroArch and Daijisho so it's good to go.
so give me your retro game reps! This thing can play games on Android, and the following consoles (that I care about)
-
NES
-
SNES
-
N64
-
Sega Master System
-
Sega CD
-
Sega 32X
-
Sega Saturn
-
Sega Dreamcast
-
Neo-Geo
-
PS1
-
Game Boy
-
Game Boy Color
-
Game Boy Advance
-
Nintendo DS
-
Playstation Portable
It can also play every Arcade System (MAME, etc) and home computer (amiga, the C64 i guess lol)
it plays some stuff on the GameCube and PS2, but not very well.
throw whatever at me, doesn't matter how obscure! the only caveat is that for DS games, stuff that rarely uses touch controls is preferred unless it has a dpad patch like the zelda games.
if that thing plays Saturn at a solid framerate, i'd be very curious to hear what you think of NiGHTS. the Saturn 3D pad had an analog stick specifically meant for NiGHTS because you spin it over and over, and playing it with modern controllers is kind of awful, but those 3DS analog pads might be perfect. i tried ro play it on PC once with my 3DS as a controller but there was way too much lag lol
Other games you should check out: it's hard to go wrong with the Genesis and Master System/Game Gear Sonic games aside from Sonic Blast. For the Genesis also check out Ristar, Beyond Oasis, Burning Force, and Panorama Cotton. On the Saturn you definitely wanna check out the racers like SEGA Rally, Hang-On GP and the Power Drift port. if you care about the Master System i recommend getting into it's fun cousins the ColecoVision and the MSX- basically anything by Konami (i highly recommend Pengiun Adventure, it's bonkers) or Compile on the MSX will blow your mind and the ColecoVision has some great arcade conversions- my favorites are Gyruss and Mr. Do. On the SMS itself Megami Rescue is a very interesting take on Breakout and the Bubble Bobble conversion is great.
Have fun!
Thanks for the Sega recs! It's a blind spot in my childhood, I was a Nintendo kid, so it'll be nice to go back to those! :D
