4 days ago | press-start.com.au | Shannon Grixti

AYANEO has released its fair share of retro inspired handhelds over the last 6 months starting with the AYANEO Pocket Micro which was fantastic for older games, and the overpowered Pocket DMG which is what I’ve been taking with me on trips for all of this year, but the newly released Pocket Ace brings the best of both of those devices together to present what is absolutely the final form of retro Android handhelds.
