The Retroid Pocket 2+ is a game changing device in the next generation of retro handhelds. Aside from coming in significantly cheaper than the current generation of handhelds at $99, it has a powerful Unisoc Quad-core Tiger T310 processor that not only plays the entire Dreamcast and PSP library nearly flawlessly, but even pushes up to a limited number of GameCube and PlayStation 2 games with the right tweaks.
Review: Anbernic RG280V
At the moment, there’s no better device in this category on the market. As with most Anbernic products, the RG280V has the look and feel of a high-end product. The premium plastic feels good on the hands, and provides a sturdy frame to the gorgeous 2.8 inch IPS screen.
Review: SNK NeoGeo Mini
The folks at SNK have put together a NeoGeo Mini arcade cabinet with a 3.5-inch LCD screen. And much like it’s predecessor of the 90s, it’s got some mixed features. On the one hand, the Mini features 40 games with flawless emulation that does pay homage to the NeoGeo classic. But the Mini is far too heavy on fighting games and lacks the premium form factor that one would expect for the price you pay.
Review: RS-60 Retro Handheld
The RS-60 is clearly designed with portability in mind. It’s the length and width of a credit card, and the depth of the unit is 6.5 mm, which allows it to slip into any pocket.
Review: Powkiddy RGB20
The RGB20 is priced around $90, which is on par or more expensive than already existing handhelds in the RK3326 range. It’s also more expensive than the Retroid Pocket 2, which offers better PSP and Dreamcast emulation.
Review: Gameboy iPhone Case
There’s a certain novelty to the Gameboy iPhone Case. Take it with you out to dinner, and it’s sure to be a conversation piece. But in reality, that’s the most kick you’ll get out of this product.
Review: Retro FC Plus 168-in-1
There’s an adjective that I keep using to describe the Retro FC Plus 168-in-1: Adequate. As in, the 3-inch LCD screen is not well lit, but is adequate. The form factor is not compact, but is adequately portable. The game play is not revolutionary, but performs with adequasivity (not a word!).
Review: 1Up PiBoy
The PiBoy absolutely comes recommended if N64 and PS1 emulation is on your “must have” list, and you don’t mind paying $150-200 for a preassembled version. If you’re skittish on the price and want something that you put in your pocket as opposed to a backpack, the 1Up PiBoy will not be for you.
Review: BittBoy V3
For the price of $40, there is just no beating what you get. If you are OK with staying in the 16-bit category, and want a highly portable, premium looking and feeling retro handheld, this is absolutely worth your time and money.
Review: Are You Glad I’m Here
A millennial teacher working in Beirut befriends her neighbor, an educated yet oppressed Lebanese housewife, and the two become partners in a murder and cover-up. Those are the essentials to need to know in “Are You Glad I’m Here,” a film that runs 85 minutes but in reality should’ve been cut down by about 30 minutes.
