The new anbernic releases do seem to keep him busy! I am hoping to see one on a RG406H soon as that would be one worth picking up for me I think (assuming it is just the RG406V in a horizontal form factor with the better analog sticks)

Yeah they're certainly knocking out the releases at a fast rate. The 406V doesn't look that comfortable to me, so I'd agree with you on a H.
Need to take a leaf out of Retroid though and go with more transparent colours.

Out today apparently.

I've got the Anbernic RG cube coming, but how is it compared to the RG406V? Because I might pickup both.
I use this site a lot to filter and compare devices. Also useful for seeing which devices use the same CPU, hence, same performance. RG-Cube and RG-406V use the same CPU. Expect Anbernic to release a few more as well

It looks to me that they are exact same spec. Only difference is slightly different screen size?

I think the big difference is supposed to be the greatly improved analog sticks, from what I've heard anyway!

I do find horizontal handhelds much more comfy for extended gaming sessions, especially the shoulder triggers, much prefer stacked type.
Verticals not so bad for a quick blast up to SNES/Megadrive.

Also don't see the point of powerful devices emulating systems with analogue triggers using digital.
My thoughts too. The rg35xxSP has been perfect for a fire up and play type use case. Especially with the auto-save on lid close, auto-run and load save behaviour

Have you tried any WiiU yet? And was the Wii at 1x res or upscaled? I'm thinking Mario Galaxy would look amazing on the OLED 556 upscaled, although I'm not sure about the practicalities of the Wii controls (screen pointer, remote shake etc....).
1x but that looks good on the Cube IMO.
I played some Mario Galaxy 2 the other night, that's too runs quite well. A few slowdowns but completely playable, not as good as Mario Kart Wii. On 1.5x is starts dipping to around 45fps when racing but feels slower.
I've not tried WiiU but imagine it wont be playable, could be wrong though i'll look into it
edit - nope, theres no Android emulator for Wii U. Cemu and others are Windows, Linux and MacOS only.

Though I have realised that there's not a massive selection of Wii U / exclusives. Think like Mario Kart Wii is great and Yoshi's woolly world can be played on 3DS.
I've played a friends Wii U in the past and im sure he used it to play Wii and Gamecube games in HD mainly instead... which emulation wise is better of using the fantastic Dolphin emulator, then upscaling (if the device can)
I agree, I think the main people want WiiU is for BoTW which can be a bit shaky on Yuzu/Ryujinx
