Introducing the Game Console R36H
The Horizontal Twist on a Budget Favourite
Say hello to the Game Console R36H, the latest evolution of the fan-favourite R36S — now in a horizontal layout for classic comfort and improved ergonomics. Whether you're just stepping into the world of retro handhelds or looking for a low-cost secondary device, the R36H delivers a surprising amount of power and personality for the price.
It’s powered by the same trusted RK3326 chipset as the R36S, with solid performance that handles everything up to PlayStation 1, plus light Dreamcast and PSP gaming — all in a form factor inspired by the RG35XXH. With over 21,000 games pre-installed, including fan favourites like Mario, Pokémon, Sonic, Crash Bandicoot, and more, it’s ready to play right out of the box.
