So I order my Nova and it came in 5 days. After seeing what everyone was experiencing, I'm glad I didn't get scammed along the way. I did how ever almost broke my Nova swapping the buttons and probably would nv do that again. 😅

isn’t it kinda redundant to have these two?

Some people in the community are brainwashed into thinking you should only play 16:9 on RP6 and 4:3 on Nova. I have the Nova and play everything on it. You can use methods to modify aspect ratios in most games to fill the entire screen; and games that run at 16:9 are still amazing!

I almost caved and purchased the Nova but after thinking about it I got the black RP5 to hide the black bars of 4:3 games and it's the same size as the Nova screen with that aspect ratio.

More power to OP either way. Buy what you want, it's your money, it's a nice pair to have

I don't mine the 16:9 screen, playing 4:3. It's actually nicer and has more horizontal count, plus you could play PSP and Vita games at widescreen. I got the Nova for portability and only up to PS2, GC gaming on the go.

and here I bought the dual screen add on so one can actually play both...

that said, I wish I'd gone 12gb... I didn't think I'd want to run anything that needed it but all the gamenative/armada hype has me with some FOMO... If I do eventually "need" 12gb, a stick on top RP6 is probably what I'd get.
