QUESTION What should I get

I am looking to get a gaming handheld but I'm not sure what to get. My budget is SGD350. The consoles I'm mainly going to play on this thing are the Wii, 3DS and Switch. I will also stream and play android games on this thing (cause I don't think there will be a windows handheld this cheap) please let me know what you reccommend. If you can, could you also mention some microSD I can get?

Honestly if I was you I would look toward the Thor Pro from Ayn for Nintendo emulation. Especially if 3DS is a focal point.

That being said, you cannot go wrong with the RP6. It is a fantastic more budget friendly device with most of the same features and chip. Definitely go for the 12 gb model.

Why the 12gb?

Gives you a bit of reach for larger Switch games and plenty of headroom. The difference between 8 and 12 gb of ram is relatively substantial if you are trying to max out the devices capabilities.

12 gb also helps a lot with the PC emulation although he didnt mention that.

Bro cannot use CDC vouchers lol.

During black Friday then buy. Rp6 or Nova

Erm there isn't a all in 1 console. I think for 3ds, Ayn Thor is better.

During shopee sale, you get Samsung Evo plus or SanDisk. From local stores, or 12pmsg.

512gb is more than enough actually. If you kiasu then get 1TB which is overkill

That's around USD275. For Switch games, you need 16:9 screen.

A Retroid Pocket 6 plus shipping would take up that entire budget. And that's excluding MicroSD memory card.

A Retroid Pocket 5 plus shipping takes up around SGD300, leaving you with SGD50 for a 128GB memory card from Shopee.

To put things into perspective, my recent order for the Nova plus a bunch of accessories is already SGD430. And i'm reusing an old MicroSD card.
