Does Fire Emblem: Three Houses Run at 60 FPS on Powkiddy V10?
No — avoid buying the Powkiddy V10 specifically for Fire Emblem: Three Houses. The Powkiddy V10 uses the budget Rockchip RK3326 (Quad-Core ARM Cortex-A35 @ 1.5GHz), which is designed for PS1, GBA, SNES, N64, and Dreamcast—not Switch. If playing Fire Emblem: Three Houses at full speed is your priority, step up to the Retroid Pocket 5 ($219).
