⚠️This is not the full, finished review. The "full" review will be published and updated here on 20th June to respect ANBERNIC's embargo requests alongside a video review on our YouTube channel. This means that as of now, this article cannot share benchmarks, discussions of frame rates, performance comparisons to other devices, or rate the product out of 10.

GoRetroid's recent announcement revealed their new dual screen add-on that brings a clamp-able 5.5" AMOLED display that attaches to a few of their previous devices, alongside other third party devices. This tease has now evolved into an official release with pre-orders now live, at a price of $69 available on their website today, making it a great affordable accessory for those that wants to elevate their Pocket 5, Pocket Mini and Pocket 4+ handhelds.

Seb our Editor-In-Chief was recently telling me to write something about GoRetroid's "cryptic" social posts recently, but I told him that I am going to hang fire because I had a hunch that it wouldn't be a brand new dual-screen display which we were all hoping for. I was right and instead GoRetroid has revealed an OLED display add-on that can be attached to their Retroid Pocket 5, Retroid Pocket Mini and their older Retroid Pocket 4 exclusively.

Now, I know as I write this many of you who are into your handheld emulators will disagree with me here, but I have a soft spot for metal handhelds. Maybe because they feel premium, maybe because I am just so use to plastic devices or maybe its the fact my one year old is too weak to pick it up... possibly the latter. So I was happy to see that a possible metal device is in the works by ANBERNIC called the RG477M, first found from the keen eyed folks at Retro Handhelds on X.

Last week ANBERNIC teased the back of the upcoming RG Slide, which wasn't enough for most fans, but now they've announced the specs and reveal the full slide up design. And I must say, I am impressed. It's ANBERNIC's first proper jab at doing something unique rather than copy the competition's ideas over the last couple of years. ANBERNIC officially announced this new design on their YouTube channel with mock images and videos to give users an idea of size, specifications and colour-ways.

I feel as if Tamagotchi's have been making a real come back in the West recently. Their marketing team at Bandai Namco are doing a darn good job at creating new campaigns that generate interest, alongside constant awareness at game shows, especially here in the UK. My recent visit to Japan also shined a light on this adorable, and highly collectible brand, forcing me to snag an original from 1997 that I found in "Tokyo's smallest retro games shop".

This is a news post that I didn't think I'd be writing this week, only because retro emulation is a grey area, seeing as it incentivises the use and downloading of game files that many do not own. That said, we are all for handheld emulators, they're incredible gaming devices that allow us to take retro games with us wherever we please in comfortable form factors and hardware that pushes even PS2 Emulation to silky smooth frame rates.

After coming back from our trip to the Netherlands to film an episode of The Retroad Show with one of Europe’s biggest Nintendo collectors, it was clear to me that there are some lunatics in this world that are obsessed with rare Game Boy Advance handhelds. I too am one of them, owning a Pokemon Center Charizard GBA SP, but there are many collectors who are wanting far rarer devices and are willing to pay the price for it.
