    This thing looks like a beast. I have the first Odin, and it’s a very competent device, but not a powerhouse. They basically threw all the specs at this one and made meaningful improvements to the rest of the hardware. I’m pretty excited to get one.

        I play mostly handheld emulators on mine, with some other systems sprinkled in. Handhelds have always been my favorite systems, so it’s lots of Pokemon, jrpgs on the Vita/psp, and whatever else games I missed growing up. If you want to buy one device that’ll do everything, it seems like the Odin 2 is it. It really is awesome having a dedicated device for emulation.

          I am way out of my depth with knowledge on android gaming devices, but I for some reason feel that powerhouse android devices would be capable of something much more advance than Pokémon. Am I just wrong on this assumption?

          (Happy to be wrong here, I’m just kind of curious)

            Nah yeah, they definitely can, I was just saying for me that’s what I like doing. The Odin 2 specifically can play up to PS2/gc upscaled to like 1080p pretty much perfectly, 3ds, Wii, and some switch as well, however the android switch emulator still isn’t fully optimized. I play smash melee or a match of Mario strikers on mine from time to time just when I have some time to kill.
