[Video] My FAVORITE Handhelds to Play Games of the Month On (and why)

If you’ve ever dreamed of a pocket‑sized arcade, this week’s Retro Handheld showdown is the perfect excuse to dust off that nostalgic itch. Stubbs and Andrew sit down, swap their top‑pick devices for each classic system, then fire up February’s “Games of the Month” lineup—plus a surprise “Game of the Week.”

First on the roster: The Legend of Zelda (NES) gets a fresh spin on whatever handheld you trust to keep those 8‑bit chiptunes crisp. Next up, Metal Gear Solid 2 (PS2) proves that even a modern mini‑PC can handle Snake’s cinematic stealth without choking. The GBA/DS crowd gets Mega Man Zero, a perfect match for any retro‑friendly button layout. And the weekly spotlight? Metroid Prime Pinball on DS, a pinball mashup that feels oddly satisfying in your lap.

Why does it matter? It’s a quick reminder that today’s handheld market—think AYANEO Pocket AIR Mini, AYN Odin 2 Portal, MagicX Zero 40, MANGMI Pocket Max, and Retroid Pocket 6—is more than just novelty. These devices let you pick the perfect tool for each game, turning “I wish I could play that on the go” into a reality.

Bottom line: Pick your favorite console, match it with a handheld from the featured list, and start with whichever title tickles your retro fancy first. Happy gaming!
