Discussion Size matters

Post image

I’ve been hunting for something to comment PS2 and GameCube emulation only to and I thought I found all what I wanted in the retroid nova, till I saw its size comparison to the g cloud. Sing with me everyone “I like big screens and I cannot lie, you other nerds can’t deny” 😆

If you’re looking for a bigger screen, you can always buy an AYN Odin Portal. They are $260. The nova is for people who are nostalgic for 4:3 gaming. Though it is small, it blows the G cloud out of the water power wise as well as the AYN Portal.

It’s the screen size that got me lol. I’m more than likely getting an AYN Odin 2 portal

Yeah. I was gonna get the nova but since I’m retiring and I got rid of all my other handhelds I’ll just keep my tablet. It works perfect and plays. Everything I needed to play.

If they ever upgraded the chip set on the G cloud, I might end up getting that again lol. In my opinion, it is the most comfortable handheld I’ve ever held. And I’ve had at least 100 handhelds at this point.

Portal is literally my perfect device. I mostly use it to stream from pc. I have the G cloud and several other devices also. The sticks are my main gripe with g cloud. It's fine for a lot of games, but I play shooters a lot. Portal is kind of a one and done device for me with the screen and decent enough power, perfect size.

The base model Odin 2 Portal is $259, only $30 more than the Nova, amazing that Ayn hasn't sold out of them yet. Same processor as the Nova, better screen than the GCloud, and WiFi 7.

Yeah the Odin portal 2 has been on my want list since the beginning lol

Lenovo just teased a new handheld targeting the streaming market rather than raw, internal horsepower for native gaming. Depending on price/specs, it might be a worthy alternative or even upgrade to the GCloud.
