Retropia is just great!

I've purchased the Rg350 previously from Retropia and have absolutely nothing negative to say about the handheld and about Retropia.

The service was spectacular and was delivered within 2 days of ordering. My package was easily trackable and the delivery instructions were followed to the letter.

I have now this week purchased the Rg351p. I don't need to talk about the handheld as it speaks for itself. I have zero understanding of computers, technology and I can barely operate a smart phone! However the Rg351p was perfect for me because of its simple 'switch it on and play' accessibility.

I wanted something that I didn't have to have an understanding of emulators, operating systems or anything like that but I could just play all my favourite retro games.

The button layout is great and comfortable, the screen resolution is near perfect and the ease of just opening an emulator and finding the game then playing it was exactly what I was looking for and the Rg351p was the one for this.

I received the same fantastic service from Retropia as when I bought the rg350. The ordering from the website was simple and easy, I was emailed a reciept instantly after purchasing along with details on how to return if there was any issues of which there was none.

I even had a question about something and contacted via Facebook messenger. I had a response less than 24hrs later which fully answered my question.

If you're thinking of buying a retro handheld console but are a technophobe like me then the Rg351p is most definitely the one to get. And Retropia are by far the people to get it from.

Fantastic company and fantastic products

Decided to jump in feet first and went straight for the level 4 and don't regret it. Great system that has so much on it I've barely scratched the surface. Only issue I've found so far, bar the odd graphic glitch, is Kodi freezes the system when loaded but that's not really what I bought this for anyway.

Do not hesitate to use Retropia

This is an awesome games console provided by very skilled people who do not hesitate to help when needed. They have been most helpful with my queries with the upmost professionalism. I cannot recommend this product enough.

A brilliant piece of kit

Ordered the Level 4 machine, the delivery time was excellent - arrived within 48 hours. The console itself is superb, booted up straight away with no issues and within seconds I had access to an unbelievable library of games. Everything that I've tried so far has worked perfectly. Highly recommend Retropia & their consoles.

Received my Level 3 today

Received my Level 3 today. All boxed nicely. I was told 3-5 working days. It arrived in just 36 hours.
I contacted Retropia with questions before I ordered as I have a retropie machine from another company that i ordered a few years back. It's barely been used as very few Amiga games worked (which was what i wanted most). All of my questions were answered really quickly.
Piece of cake to set up. Every game I've tried works amazingly including the Amiga games. The controller works great with games like Sensible Soccer. N64 and Dreamcast games run great too.
Super impressed especially as I cheekily asked for a few games to be added and they have been!
Great customer service and a great little machine filled with nostalgia.

Absolutely fantastic

Absolutely fantastic, very fast delivery and the product is absolutely spot on. Price is very good for a handheld console which plays all my retro favourites including N64, PS1 and even Amiga classics such as championship manager and kick off 2.

Overall the service has been faultless.

Brilliant!!

Got this before X-mas and should’ve left a review sooner. Went for the stage 3 with wireless controllers, keyboard and mouse. Absolutely brilliant. Any questions / queries dealt with with quickly. Quality item and ongoing customer service thanks.

After being ripped off by another…

After being ripped off by another company that I managed to get my money back from, I was wary, but the trust pilot scores and reviews put me at ease, and ordered, came in quick time and is a great quality unit.
Very happy and can whole heartedly recommend them.

Beyond my expectations

Beyond my expectations, I ordered on the Friday and received on the Monday.
In my eyes that’s one of the best and fastest I’ve ever had.
Quality of the product is once again beyond my expectations and one of the nostalgic items.
All the games I could ask for and then some.. Truly made the 10-12 year old inside of me a very happy boy
Perfect for millennials past gaming
Thank you Retropia, it won’t be the last I buy from you!

Always a good experience :o)

This is the second time I've bought from Retropia and both times have been a 5/5 experience. They offer a wide range of retro gaming products for a good price. They are also easy to contact with technical advice.

Handhelds

100% recommended. Bought a similar system a few years back from a different company but it simply didn’t work like it should have. This really does, it’s just like playing the originals. So if you want to play all the games from the past get one

Recently purchased a level 4

Recently purchased a level 4. Took Me a little getting used to at first with certain control set ups. Then I figured out how to adjust set ups for certain consoles by holding home button and x usually works on most consoles and the r trigger on psp .

You can also adjust frame rates if a certain game is not running 100 %. I've only had to do this on 2 psp titles and 1 dreamcast title. Every othe game plays spot on. It's amazing to think you have access to 33368 games on such a little device. Can't recommend this product enough. Retropia are on hand via fb messenger to assist with any questions you may need help with . Top product, top service . Top nostalgia

Retropia Level 3 Console

The huge amount of games from so many systems make it an ideal choice if you prefer games from the past or are looking to jump into a world of gaming that happened before your time. Despite some of the older systems like Commodore 64 and Apple 2 working slightly differently, its been made to feel pretty accessible.

Haven't come across any games on the devise that didn't function properly, but there are some issues with the loading screens and cut scenes on some of the PlayStation titles. Grand Theft Auto and Tomb Raider for example. Although the in-game play worked perfectly fine

I probably will consider going up to Level 4
