Ships within the US. These are US inventory.
2x micro SD card slots (w/ 1x 64GB card included)
2x USB-C ports (one for charging, one w/ OTG support)
Don't forget Mini-HDMI port?
But I think it's too cramped to hold for people with big hands. I would prefer something a bit more grabbable, imagine Playstation controller type of grips.
I'm going to tell you why it's not as comfortable because you can't just lay your thumb flat on the buttons due to the control stick under the game buttons. Why two thumb sticks?
I was pretty hard up originally on wanting a device with joysticks but after research, landed on the TrimUI brick which has a similar chip and have been having a great time with the d-pad, playing a ton of Game Boy Advance. I got the 35XXSP for my 6 year old son who's loving that too.
Note - these devices come with a bunch of ROMs, a lot which are the same from different regions. You'll want to blow all that away and load in your own custom rom set. You'll also want to install a custom OS. I strongly suggest Knulli.

Get retroid pocket 4 or 5 or flip. All do ps2, gamecube, wii and some switch.
I thought about adding custom firmware, but opted to keep (just update to latest version) the stock Anbernic firmware and it has been fine. Honestly, I dont see a real need to update the firmware...its perfectly useable stock. Now as for the memory card that comes with this, just back it up and imediately toss it - its crap (unless theyve changed to using branded cards recently). I did ditch the games and just used my own tinybest set.
Overall, for this price I dont think you can find a better retro gaming device.
Yes there is

I hear you, I'm running NextUI on the brick, but the visual presentation of Knulli running emulation station can't be denied. Love the little preview videos, it's a great OS to present to folks who are new to the scene, especially if you use Kid/Kiosk mode to hide the plethora of options that can get overwhelming
