I'm really happy with this thing. I was considering getting the RG SP but it was a solid $20-30 more expensive, since it's the newest model. Meanwhile, good offers were being made for the 34XX-SP which is basically the same device.

Initial impressions:

  • The yellow model looks great IRL. It's less saturated than in the picture.
  • 4:3 games are really not that small on the screen, the bezels aren't an issue like everyone says they are.
  • Controls are great, they're clicky but not annoying or loud. The bumpers are way better than the ones in the RG35XX-H. I'm surprised how much I love the thin D-pad. The only thing I actively dislike is how loud the function button is.

Ah, so it seems about the same as the R36S I have already. I would prefer something more pocketable, but at the price its hard to consider compared to what I already had. If the performance was a bit better it might have been more enticing. I wouldnt ever expect GameCube or PS2 games or anything, but I think N64 and Saturn shouldn't be so difficult on devices of this from factor and price.
