  • Our take on the Retro Kid Original

    The Retro Kid Original is a handheld emulator console that plays classic arcade, home-console and handheld games offline from a preloaded SD card. It runs a 1.5GHz RK3326 chip with Mali-G31MP2 graphics, a 3.5-inch 640x480 IPS screen, dual joysticks and L/R shoulder buttons. It suits adults who want a nostalgia fix and travelers who want a self-contained library with no downloads or subscription. Against rivals like the Anbernic RG35XX and Miyoo Mini, it offers dual sticks and a larger preloaded library, but its chip is older and the library is uneven in quality. Owners rate it highly for ease and value.

    About the Retro Kid Original

    Retro Kid Original is a portable retro handheld game console for playing classic arcade, home-console and handheld games offline. It comes in two storage versions: 64GB with 20,000+ pre-installed games, or 128GB with 40,000+ pre-installed games. Both versions support the same 20 classic console emulators.

    No internet connection, downloads or subscription are needed to play the included games. Save-state support lets you save your progress and resume later.

    The console has a 3.5-inch IPS screen with 640 × 480 resolution. Controls include dual joysticks, a directional pad, face buttons and L/R shoulder controls. The game list on the RetroCity website covers the 128GB library only, so a match there does not confirm that a game is on the 64GB version.

    Questions and answers

    Is the 128GB version worth it over the 64GB?
    The 128GB version doubles the preloaded library and adds storage space. Both run the same 20 emulators, so the choice comes down to how many games you want out of the box.
    Can I check if a specific game is included?
    The online game list covers the 128GB library only. For a title on the 64GB version, contact support with the game name and original platform before ordering.
    Does it need Wi-Fi or a subscription?
    No. All included games play offline, and there are no downloads or subscriptions. Save states let you stop and resume later.
    What is in the box?
    The console with the selected SD card inserted, a USB-C charging cable, a user manual and a screen protector. The carry case and joystick caps are not included.
    What systems can it emulate?
    It supports 20 classic console emulators covering arcade, home-console and handheld games. Performance is best on older 8-bit and 16-bit systems.
    How does it compare with the Anbernic RG35XX?
    The Retro Kid Original adds dual joysticks and a much larger preloaded library. The RG35XX uses a newer chip and is generally smoother on heavier systems.
