The future of the cheap retro gaming handheld is looking grim, and it couldn’t come at a worse time for gamers looking for a cheap and well executed fix. The upcoming Switch 2 is set to sell for $450, $150 more than the starting price of 2017’s original Switch. The PS5 is going up in price in some regions. Games themselves will cost $70, $80, or even $100. All these price hikes should only help propel the legion of great-feeling, excessively cheap handhelds to even greater stardom.

Wireless charging pucks make hot phones even hotter. Sure, it allows you access to phones’ only USB-C port while charging, but the process of electromagnetic induction is still less efficient than a direct connection through a power cable.
