>300USD means it will be in the Thor Base category. I thought it might be a dual 4:3 Nova screen with a weaker ship set and ~200USB but it is more likely to be G2 Gen 2 / 8 Gen 2 with 16:9 top screen.
Directly competing with Ayn Thor is something I haven’t thought it will happen since Retroid and Ayn are sister companies. But perhaps at the same time Ayn will make a Thor 2 with 8 Elite. It doesn’t make a lot of sense to me because there Thor is selling like hot cakes with >2 months lead time.
As soon as I saw the set, I knew I had to master it to add the badge to my profile. The movie is such a classic. The game is very simple and silly. I like the morning routines and the ending of feeding stray cat to the ATM. The hit boxes are very weird though. I had to try many times to get the cheevo of clearing the game without dying. The good things is that you can finish the game in 1-2 minutes once you memorize the morning routine.
Dimension estimation
RG DS Plus is 5-10% larger in dimensions compard to the original RG DS which is almost identical to DSi XL.
Estimated based on the screen size 4.3" ~ 109mm and checked with USB-C port size ~8.4mm.
We are back for another monthly challenge. This month's main challenge is a classic Gameboy game: Super Mario Land. You can beat this game in just an hour, according to the median beaten time on RA at least. Join the discord to participate: https://discord.gg/eFRgaty7j
Select Start Monthly Challenge is a RA focused gaming club. It has a small but active community. The discord server has a sophisticated bot to keep track of the achievements of all participants to motivate each other to complete the games.
P.S. I am not the organizer of the challenge, just an active participant.
Has been actively playing since January last year. 10k points ain’t much but it’s honest work :) I mainly use RA for game tracking so I don’t have a lot of masteries. But I am proud of the few non-shovelware masteries I have gotten: Plants vs Zombies (DS), DuckTales (NES) and Zelda Twilight Princess (Wii).
I am currently working on Arcade games, aiming to beat all Metal Slug games and a few other classics. After that I think I’ll play more PS2 and GC games.
I also really enjoyed the Wii launch event and I am really looking forward to future launch events.
We are back for another monthly challenge. Our main challenge is Alundra (PS1), PlayStation’s answer to The Legend of Zelda. I have no idea about this game personally but it looks very interesting.

A bit late this month but we still have a few hours! I notice there is a video on the sub homepage of a spider man dancing with a weird head. I have no clue beyond the obvious guess of spider man games.
Y700 tablet with the arcade dock is super fun to play arcade games on . I just cleared Metal Slug X with my cousin last night in a local co-op mode. I used an additional Bluetooth controller while he used the arcade stick.
I can play arcade games on many devices but this is the more authentic way and absolutely more fun.
Devices:
- Lenovo Y700 Gen 4 tablet
- Y700 Arcade Dock
- Ayn Thor (you can barely see it on the left but I need to do my due diligence to compile to the sub rules lol)
Game: Metal Slug X (Arcade)
