Despite the original Game Boy being my introduction to handheld gaming, I have never been convinced by modern vertical handhelds. Sure, I enjoyed revisiting older games on the Retroid Pocket Classic, but anything with sticks felt far too compromised an experience.
So when the RG 477V arrived on my desk for review, I was skeptical. It’s a beautiful device with a shockingly large screen, but can this really work for modern games? Sticks on a vertical don’t just look goofy, they’re also downright uncomfortable on every handheld I’d used until that point.
