The Retroid Pocket Classic Might Be Next Victim of RAMageddon

The End is Nigh (for your favorite 4-button handheld)

If you’ve been eyeing the Retroid Pocket Classic, you might want to move a little faster than usual. It turns out “RAMageddon” is officially claiming its latest victim: the 4-button model of this popular handheld.

According to recent updates, Retroid is seemingly ditching the 4-button layout entirely in favor of the 6-button versions (the Classic 6 and Classic 6 SG). This isn’t just a minor tweak; customer service has indicated they won’t be restocking any 4-button models once the current stock vanishes. As of writing, there are fewer than 100 units left—specifically the PokĂ©mon Yellow variant.

Why is this happening? While we’re still waiting for official word, it looks like a combination of shifting hardware requirements and supply chain chaos. Whether Retroid is pivoting to prepare for a brand-new device or simply reacting to the global RAM shortage remains to be seen.

The Quick Take:

  • What’s disappearing: The 4-button Retroid Pocket Classic models.
  • What’s staying: The 6-button versions (Classic 6 and 6 SG).
  • Pro tip: If you must have the 4-button layout, check Amazon or AliExpress immediately—but don’t expect them to be there tomorrow.
