Retro Handhelds Weekly: RAM Swaps, Banjo Rebirth, and Mario’s Pixel Power Move
Let’s be real—when you drop $200 on a retro handheld, you don’t expect the RAM to suddenly become a ghost story. Anbernic’s RG34XXSP just got downgraded from 2GB to 1GB, and the community is side-eyeing the invoice like it’s a bad cheat code. Meanwhile, Retroid Pocket 6? Delayed—not because of bugs, but screen calibration issues. Turns out, making a perfect 4.5-inch display is harder than it looks.
But wait—there’s magic in the software corner. Banjo-Kazooie just got a full PC remake called BanjoRecomp, and fans are weeping into their N64 controllers. And in the weirdest twist of 2026? Nintendo once told Sega, “Mario must always be one pixel ahead of Sonic” in promotional art. Not metaphorically. Literally. One foot forward. Pixel by pixel. The gaming gods are petty, and we love them for it.
On the hardware front: TrimUI’s Brick Pro is rumored to have joysticks. Yes, you read that right. The handheld world’s favorite chunky little box might finally grow up.
And yes—Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake? Cancelled. But Banjo lives. So do we.
