So this review is going to be a little different, I have spoken about my concerns here, and i hope you take them into consideration, but i do want to review this handheld as is, because it’s a great device and let’s face it, we are all adults here, you can spend your money on what you want, but i just had to start the article off with my opinions on their marketing strategy and advise that you don’t buy it because it seems they genuinely don’t give a toss about their customers. We’ve seen ANBERNIC do this time and time again, and it’s why I only speak highly of a few of their handhelds because i don’t want you to fall into that trap of buying them every couple of months.īut to see GoRetroid start this strategy scares me a little, because I genuinely thought they were better than that, but i was wrong. So because of that I am not recommending you buy the 3+, even though it’s a pretty solid handheld.īuying one of these will entice not only GoRetroid but other manufacturers to use this scammy marketing tactic moving forward. I have to apologise to anyone that purchased a Retroid Pocket 3 through my recommendation, i am disappointed that I couldn’t see this coming, and i should have done better at guessing that this would happen, it sucks that GoRetroid would even do this, and what fuels my hatred more is that they absolutely knew they were launching the + a few weeks after the launch of the 3, but they kept it under wraps, playing us like all like a flute just for profits. This to me is straight up disrespectful, and I have always held GoRetroid on a high pedestal, but moving forward it seems they have become like every other Chinese handheld manufacturer… greedy bastards.

Without enough time for previous customers to get accustomed to their new handheld, they then release the Retroid Pocket 3+ for just $20 more than the original, which comes with a new chip allowing for even better emulation performance.Īnd to annoy previous customers even more, they decided to reduce the Pocket 3 price to $99 for black friday…
