Retro Handhelds Weekly: Retroid Pocket 6, KTR2, Xbox FSE on Legion Go 2, and Much More

Hey there, retro fanatics—your weekly dose of handheld hype is here, and it’s wild.

This week felt like a toy store exploded in a tech lab. Retroid Pocket 6? Finally, real photos. KTR2 just dropped pre-sales in China—finally, a new player besides Anbernic and AYANEO. And MANGMI’s Pocket Max? Powered by the Snapdragon 865. Yes, that’s a 2019 chip… but hey, if it runs PS2, who’s complaining?

Meanwhile, software got a major glow-up. Xbox FSE just landed on the Legion Go 2—no more hacky workarounds! Dolphin emulator added RetroAchievements support (because who doesn’t want bragging rights?), and ePSXe—yes, that ancient 2015 relic—got its first update in ten years. CHD files? Done. The past is alive, folks.

And let’s not forget the weirdest gift of all: Tiger’s R-Zone. A red LCD strapped to your face in 1995? Yep, that was “VR.” We laughed then. We laugh now. But we still keep one in a drawer. For science.

Meanwhile, the Odin 3 and AYANEO Pocket Ace got deep dives, ASUS ROG Ally got a budget-friendly nudge to $490, and someone made a PICO-8 emulator for iOS. We’re not worthy.

The retro handheld scene isn’t slowing down—it’s accelerating like a SNES cart with a bad battery. Grab your coffee, check the deals, and don’t forget: if it runs Doom or Donkey Kong Country, it’s a miracle. And we love miracles.
