The R36S brings back the games you grew up with, in a clear purple shell that shows off the hardware inside. It slips into a pocket, runs on its own dedicated system rather than a fiddly phone app, and is ready to play in seconds — no PC, no setup headaches. Whether it's a quick go on the bus or a proper session on the sofa, it's retro gaming made simple.

In the box: R36S console, screen protector, USB-C charging cable, and user manual.

Common questions

What games can it play?
Classics from NES, SNES, Genesis, Master System, Game Boy, GBC, GBA and PlayStation — the 8-bit, 16-bit and early PlayStation era it's built for.

Does it have WiFi or Bluetooth?
No — it's a dedicated offline games device, which keeps it fast, simple and affordable. You add games via the microSD card.

How do I add my own games?
Pop the microSD card into your computer, add your files to the right folders, and slot it back in. The second card slot lets you keep the system and your games separate, or expand storage.

What's the screen like?
A 3.5" IPS panel at 640×480 — bright, sharp, with great viewing angles.

Is it easy to use?
Yes — it boots straight to its own menu. No phone, no PC, no complicated setup. Turn it on and play.
