Retro Handhelds Weekly: Anbernic Teases RG Vita, MANGMI Pocket Max Launches, and Much More

If you thought retro handheld news moved slower than a Game Boy boot screen, think again—this week’s roundup is a speed‑run of new devices, software upgrades and bargain hunting.

Anbernic dropped the teaser for its RG Vita and Vita Pro, positioning them as the spiritual successors to the now‑retired Odin 2 Mini. At the same time, MANGMI finally lifted the veil on the Pocket MAX—a 7‑inch OLED beast with swappable control modules, priced at a wallet‑friendly $199 (but only until Feb 12). And for those who love gadgets that count your steps while you beat a boss, Anbernic’s health‑tracking RG G01 controller is back in pre‑order, with an early‑bird discount down to $35.99.

On the software side, GameNative 0.7.1 adds Epic Store support to Android handhelds, turning any portable into a full‑blown PC‑backlog machine. Meanwhile, iOS gets its own retro front‑end: SUMEE! is now in TestFlight, promising an all‑in‑one experience for Apple users.

Bottom line? New hardware is hitting shelves faster than you can say “pixel perfect,” and the software ecosystem is finally catching up—so polish that OLED screen, charge those batteries, and get ready to press start.
