Why did I wait? | Retroid Pocket 5

Why Did I Wait to Get the Retroid Pocket 5?!
I finally caved and picked up the Retroid Pocket 5… and now I’m just sitting here wondering why I didn’t get this thing sooner. It plays GameCube, PS2, Dreamcast, Switch, Steam and everything in between — in a pocket-sized shell that runs Android like a champ.

In this video, I cover what makes this retro handheld so addictive, how it handles emulation, and why it might just be the best pickup delay “mistake” I’ve ever made.

📌 Covered in this video:
✅ What is the Retroid Pocket 5
✅ Why did I wait
✅ Emulation Tests: PS2, PSVita, GC, Switch and more
✅ Build Quality, Quirks and Controls
✅ What I wish I knew before
✅ Should you buy it or skip it?

📈 Why It’s Great for Gamers: The Retroid Pocket 5 offers more for the price than other handhelds on the market!
