Here are some quick bites from the world of handheld gaming this week! đšī¸
Computex was a blast, and it seems like manufacturers are really leaning into the power-hungry hardware side of things. Acer dropped the Predator Atlas 8, boasting Intel’s new Arc G3 Extreme chip and a blazing 120Hz display. MSI is also joining the party with a redesigned Claw 8 EX AI Plus. It seems the handheld market is getting seriously beefier, though we also saw reports that the Anbernic RG34XXSP might have been… downgraded. Sneaky!
But the nostalgia machine is running! Donkey Kong 64 is hitting Nintendo Switch Online on June 4th, 2026, which is perfect timing for the Switch 2 anniversary. Plus, software updates like the new RG Home launcher for the Anbernic series are making those handhelds feel a bit more polished.
In the emulation corner, things are always wild. There are folks pushing for JITless Dreamcast emulation on iOS, and various updates are rolling out to make older hardware feel alive again. Whether it’s big hardware announcements or deep-dive software fixes, the community is buzzing. Looks like the future of retro gaming is getting a serious upgrade!
