Why can't I own both? I also most certainly did not pay over a hundred dollars on those famiclones in the pic you replied to, more than half of them were fucking $2-3.

(...cont)
"Mini Game Player" - That thin famiclone. Strongest build quality, the flat d-pad and face buttons click oh-so-beautifully with the d-pad doing all eight directions flawlessly. Literally the only complaint I have about it is the giant, "GAME POWER" text on the right of the screen, it actually makes the screen off-center by a lot.
Retromax - One of Anbernic's first handhelds before they became Anbernic, and it's the best famiclone I have ever used. The d-pad and face buttons aren't nearly as nice as the slim "Mini Game Player" one, but the overall build quality feels like a nice GameBoy Pocket with shoulder buttons to rest your index fingers on (they both function as Turbo x2 buttons, you won't be using them outside of holding the device comfortably). I would also argue they have the best screens for NES games, but mine has a line of dead pixels running down it upon arrival.

Honourable mention to the chicken. I haven't opened mine but have played a friend's tiger variant. Like the slim "Mini Game Player" it has really nice, flat buttons and d-pad that just clicks perfectly. It's just really uncomfortable to hold due to its size and shape, especially with those tiny wings on the side being the Start and Select buttons. But they also hacked a lot of the NES games to replace the main character with a tiger or a cool chicken, depending on your model.

Overall, avoid My Arcade. Avoid these "GC##" models. If you want a famiclone, go with the basic bitch gameboy styled one that everyone sells everywhere, just buy it directly from Ali instead of paying the markup. Or if you want something a little nicer and don't mind spending $10-20 on these things, go for the RetroMax or one of the two-tone G5 models. The Mini Game Player slim one is really nice, but its slim form makes it uncomfortable to play for more than five minutes.

Also I just realized that the one I was calling the, "GC35" isn't even the GC35. It just came with the GC35's instruction manual.

And just for funsies, my first chink handheld beside my latest chink handheld. They're very comparable in size and feel, though the Retromax is a lot lighter of course. I really recommend one of these of those cheap ass $10 Famiclones that area absolutely everywhere and have a stucko-matte finish to them.
