If you were hoping to snag a bargain on a new handheld this week, you might want to keep your expectations in check—or at least keep your refresh button ready.
The biggest heartbreak in the community? FunnyPlaying’s $69 Mini Game Boy pre-orders vanished almost instantly. Apparently, they only manufactured twenty units, making it a “blink and you missed it” moment that left many of us staring at “Sold Out” screens.
However, it’s not all heartbreak and missed opportunities. There is plenty of movement in the hardware scene:
- The GAMEMT MTX is officially available, offering a sweet combo of emulation and a real GBA cartridge slot for under $80.
- Valve has finally broken its silence regarding the Steam Frame, dropping pricing details and opening a waitlist for the upcoming VR device.
- Retroid is slashing prices on remaining stock, so if you’ve had your eye on one of their devices, now is the time to pounce.
From modern PC ports of Paper Mario 64 to new software updates for the AYN Thor, the retro world is moving fast. Grab a coffee and dive into the full breakdown to make sure you don’t miss the next big drop.
