Heck, I meant to read this yesterday, but I guess I'll have to wait till a patch!

i feel like this could be the perfect little machine

These handhelds keep getting more impressive, but also more expensive.

So far I’m sticking to simpler, smaller and cheaper units like the Miyoo Mini. I’m much more likely to EDC them because if they get lost/stolen etc it’s a lot less to cry over.

Well here's my Retroid Pocket Duo review! Retroid, the company, has released their higher-end Android-running retro handheld. AMOLED displays in a dual-screen form factor which can handle emulating Nintendo DS and 3DS games, and some more above that.

As part of it, I've been chatting with the developers behind Eden, Eden Duo, SeedlessDS and Cocoon about their work, the challenges of dual-screen gaming on Android, and where they see things going from here. I've incorporated their perspectives throughout the review, alongside my usual hands-on testing and thoughts about the hardware itself.

I've also spent plenty of time testing everything from Nintendo DS and 3DS through to PSP, GameCube, PS2, Switch and PC gaming, seeing where the Duo does well and where the limitations start becoming apparent. There are some fun things I found when reviewing, and a few things I'd still change. Above all, though, Retroid has once again managed to make a handheld that feels nicely playful (something I love about their handhelds), and 'Nintendo-like', and I've had an absolute blast reviewing it.

As ever, this is a written article (and a very long one at that!), so if you're a fan of older gaming-style sites and features that aren't videos, this might be your kind of read. Hope some of you enjoy this!

Excellent review as always!

This is the one I’ve been waiting for. I’ll be buying either this or the lite+. Just need to sell my 3DS first 🙃

Weirdly I don’t think I have a preference for this or the lite+. On paper the pros and cons kind of level out. Ideally I’d want the flat back and the oled screens, but the lcd screens don’t seem too bad, and the back bumps probably aren’t that big of a deal.

How well does it handle WiiU emulation?
