Wifi is a shit meme
t. MM+ buyer who picked it over the 35XX for the Wifi
>retro achievements don’t work without constant wifi, and most of the achievements are for speed runners and completionists rather than normal people who just use them as progress trackers
>need to use POWERSHELL commands to download ROMs over your computer
>multiplayer doesn’t work for GBA Pokemon trading, which is the only thing I would’ve used it for
I 100% would’ve picked the 35XX now if I could. Not even for the HDMI, but because it’s a little bigger and fills your hands better

Just got my MM+. The vertislop poster was right; shit’s terrible-feeling to hold, and my thumb is straight-up blocking the speaker when I try to hold it in a half-comfortable position. And while I can play PS1 without analog sticks, it DEFINITELY feels like the devs back then saw stickless controllers as an afterthought.

I avoided the horizontal handhelds because I wanted GBA nostalgia and something that felt different from my Steam Deck, but fuck, this is different in the worst possible way. I’d probably go for the RK2023 if I had another chance to pick one.
