🎮 Retro Handhelds Weekly: A Week of Shocks, Prices, and New Hardware Dreams
This week in retro handheld land was packed. Retroid threw fans a curveball: the Pocket G2 is temporarily discontinued, and the Pocket Classic just got $20 pricier ($149 now). Ouch — but maybe worth it for that classic form factor?
Big news from Anbernic: the RG Vita ($99) and RG Vita Pro ($139) finally have pricing and a pre-order date — March 23 at 6 AM EDT, with a 72-hour early-bird discount before prices tick up. And get this: there’s talk of an Anbernic handheld with a rotating screen that flips vertically to reveal controls. Yes, really.
Meanwhile, RetroAchievements finally added Wii support, launching a four-month-long “waggle grind” celebration (March 2026 → July 2026 — yes, future-dated). RetroAssembly v6 brings PlayStation support + save imports, and somehow — somehow — Animal Crossing for GameCube now runs natively on PC, with a PortMaster port incoming.
Nintendo’s rumored Switch 2 with removable battery in Europe? Blame EU regulation (and foresight). Also: new emus, custom OSes, and enough discount codes to last through AliExpress’s 16th-anniversary sale.
