  • I’ve been using the Retrobit XL for a couple of weeks now, and it’s great for casual retro gaming. The 5.5-inch screen is vibrant, and I love the HDMI output for playing on a bigger screen. It handles older consoles like NES and SNES really well, but struggles with anything more demanding like GameCube. For the price, it’s a solid pick!

  • The Retrobit XL is perfect for someone like me who just wants to relive classic 90s games. It’s easy to set up and super lightweight to carry around. While the plastic build isn’t premium, it’s comfortable to use. Adding games via the SD card was straightforward, and the battery life easily lasts a few gaming sessions.

  • As a retro gaming fan, the Retrobit XL gets the job done for its price point. The Linux interface is simple, and it runs most 8-bit and 16-bit games without a hitch. However, I was disappointed with the performance on PS2 and Dreamcast games—it’s just not powerful enough for those. Still, it’s a fun handheld for classic games!

          Music and Memories

          One of the unexpected joys of the Retrobit Gaming Console™ XL has been rediscovering the incredible music of classic games. Titles like Final Fantasy IV and Mega Man 2 have soundtracks that are still impressive today. Sharing these tunes with my kids, who are budding musicians, was fantastic. They were inspired by the compositions, and we've even started learning to play some of the songs together. It's connected our love for music and gaming in a beautiful way.

          Reliving the Golden Age of RPGs

          The depth and complexity of games like Chrono Trigger and Secret of Mana are unparalleled. Playing these classics on the Retrobit Gaming Console™ XL with my son has been a joy. We delved into the rich narratives and strategic gameplay together. It was gratifying to see him appreciate the genre that defined my gaming preferences. These experiences have strengthened our bond and shared interests.

          Exploring the Pico-8 Retro Realm

          I had never heard of Pico-8 games before picking up the Retrobit Gaming Console™ XL, but wow—what a discovery! These tiny, pixel-art games are deceptively simple yet addictively fun. Titles like Celeste Classic and Jelpi have become my go-to for quick gaming sessions. It’s amazing how these minimalist games manage to provide such deep gameplay experiences. I love how the console introduces me to a whole new genre of retro games I might have otherwise missed.

          PSP Perfection on a New Platform

          One of the biggest surprises with the Retrobit Gaming Console™ XL was how well it handles PSP games. I’ve been hooked on Patapon and LocoRoco, both of which run beautifully on this device. These quirky and fun PSP games bring back fond memories of my college days, and it’s great to share them with my little one now. The controls feel just like the original, and it’s such a joy to play these unique gems in a modern way.
