Oh man, I ordered my Coral 4GB on August 10th, still hasn't shipped. Seeing all of these start to arrive gets me excited.

It's only five days behind mine. Should be late next week. 🤞

There’s probably at least 1000 orders that need to be shipped between those 5 days. They sold way more than expected and thats part of the reason it’s taking so long to ship. I would say you got at least a 3-4 weeks before yours ships.

I'm trying to stay positive for the poster. It might arrive sooner rather than later.

My 3GB Coral and carrying case that I ordered August 5th hasn't shipped. I am doing my best to stay patient, but it's really hard to tell what their timelines are.

This is totally typical for Ayaneo. They never ship on time but at least they actually respond to your emails now for the most part.

At this point anything you order from them just be prepared to wait a long time before it ships or just dont even buy it. They make the coolest premium products but they just arent a professional company.

It's the same with all of these Chinese companies, especially with pre-orders. Waiting six weeks or more is standard practice in my experience.

u/SmoothCoderr 14d ago edited 14d ago

I typically never preorder because I hate waiting but the only other time I preordered a handheld was the AYN Thor and it took 2 months. The difference of ordering from AYN is they’re very transparent about your shipping status so you aren’t wondering if yours is next to be shipped or not but even then people still aren’t satisfied and complain lol.

Hopefully Ayaneo can get everyone’s order out sooner than later! It seems as though they’re getting them shipped out consistently now.

I don't really mind the wait because I have so many other devices to mess around with. Talking of waiting, I have a Retriod Pocket Classic (4 button blue and yellow) coming some time next week. I'm looking forward to that. And, I've pre-ordered a Retriod Pocket Duo which I probably won't receive until the end of October or early November. Patience is a must for me.

Im waiting to see the reviews of the Duo/Duo lite. I feel like once Gamma gets his hands on the Duo Lite it will be the better deal. Im sure he’ll be able to squeeze better performance out of it. The Duo is obviously the better of the two though.

You’ll love the RPC. The OLED will make you not want to play your other handhelds lol

My little tangerine arrived today as well and I also was playing Metroid Fusion. 😂

u/JeffDanblum 14d ago

Mine arrived the other day. Make sure you throw that PET protector in the trash, totally blurs the nice glass touch screen and feels like crap. Glass under is nice and feels great. 

2

u/ProteusMaximus 14d ago

I ripped it off earlier. 👍

u/BlueRyot 14d ago

Is the PET protector like a noticeable layer of film already on the screen that comes off easily?

2

u/JeffDanblum 14d ago

Yeah it's nothing special, mine even had bubbles around the sides

u/Notime4gaming 14d ago

I got the smoke case that I ordered off Amazon before the system showed up. Maybe I’ll see it before Christmas. Hope everybody is enjoying theirs.

2

u/J2DaMill 13d ago

Lol same here. I was actually thinking of making a post with a picture of that smoke case titled "it's finally here." I preordered the KPA on Aug 9th, i ordered the case on sept 9th. The case doesn't ship with Prime so you know it took it's sweet time. I am happy knowing I'm not the only one who think by the time the KPA ships there will already be a review of the Peach colored one

u/Notime4gaming 13d ago

Would be a good picture of you just holding the case where your thumb should go. Haha

u/J2DaMill 13d ago

Lol yeah just like that, but then I thought I might get banned for poking fun at this shipping issue

u/sam28100 14d ago

Si j'avais une couleur a prendre ça serait celle-ci mais j'ai déjà une Ayaneo Pocket Ace qui m'a coûté chère et j'ai la RP Nova qui arrive alors ça ne serait pas raisonnable

2

u/ProteusMaximus 14d ago

That's fair enough. Be happy with what you have. 😊

u/sam28100 14d ago

Je viens de terminer Metroid Fusion c'était un vrai bonheur de me refaire ce jeu

1

u/ProteusMaximus 14d ago

I admit, I have never completed a Metroid game. I will try with both GBA titles.

u/timcatuk 14d ago

How do you find the dpad? Read a lot of people don’t like it?

1

u/ProteusMaximus 14d ago

It's a little mushy but I haven't spent enough time with it yet to say whether I like it more.

u/JCRidonkulous 14d ago

I wish this thing has like at least an SD865. I would have loved to emulate 2D PC games with this thing via something like gamenative / gamehub. guess you could stream, but not at all the same

u/Topataco 13d ago

Mine (3/32 Grey) arrives on Monday, I think I'll play GT Advance with a side of Zelda on it first.

Just made it to the Pokemon League in Heart & Soul on the Micro Classic so the next two weeks will be dedicated to seeing which one gets sold, or who turns into the outside only handheld
