Retro Handhelds Weekly: Retroid Pocket Nova D-pad Drama, KONKR’s Special Edition, and Pokémon Recomp Magic
https://retrohandhelds.gg/retro-handhelds-weekly-edition-112/
If you thought the retro handheld scene was slowing down, think again. It’s been a whirlwind week of hardware drama, colorful new shells, and some serious Pokémon magic.
First up, the Retroid Pocket Nova is making waves, but not all of them are positive. Early adopters are reporting that the D-pad is a bit… vocal. Apparently, the stem is longer than previous models, leading to some unexpected clicking sounds. We’re currently waiting to see if Retroid has a fix or if you’ll just have to get used to that extra percussion during your gaming sessions.
On the brighter side:
- AYN is playing color: You can now snag the AYN 2 Portal in a limited-edition indigo—a great way to snag a cheaper, purplish option while they use up remaining stock.
Pokémon fans, rejoice: Gen2Recomp has arrived, bringing that sweet, moddable magic to Pokémon Gold and Silver*.
- AYAN is on a roll: The KONKR Pocket Advance is flying off the shelves, with over 20,000 units sold and a new “Developer Edition” officially revealed.
Whether you’re hunting for deals on AliExpress or waiting for the next Zelda leak, there’s plenty to keep your thumbs busy.
