Mangmi is new to the scene, and they're bringing out their first handheld, the Air X. Is this gonna be the Android to get on the low end? Or will it be something else? retrohandhelds.gg/exclusive-ma...

Looks like a new tool is making it's way out into the handheld scene. Emuready is here to help figure out what runs what, and it's finally launching. retrohandhelds.gg/crowdsourced...

Sometimes you can't just get away with playing the game normally, and that's where mods come in. Or at least for Nick, that's how mods bring him back to games like Gran Turismo, and this is how. retrohandhelds.gg/shifting-gea...

Looks like the rumor mill is kicking into high gear again. After the positive reception of the RG Slide it looks ZPG doesn't want to sit this one out. Bringing a possible sliding handheld WITH a second screen will absolutely be a new experience. What do you think? retrohandhelds.gg/zpgs-unicorn...

This game looks pretty stellar, love the destructible environment aspect especially!

Going live at 3pm Pacific! Join Stubbs, @RetroTechDadYT and @RetroGameCorps as they take a look at the Anbernic RG Slide! www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_f5...

Anbernic is back with the RG35XX Pro, a confusing release for some. Does this refined classic design make a worthy addition to your emulation lineup? retrohandhelds.gg/anbernic-rg3...

I stopped by Chris Cross's Brain Arcade podcast and we had a blast chatting nostalgic games meeting modern hardware. He's the Lead Designer of the og Medal of Honor games, and has so much industry knowledge of making the games that we call retro now. Fascinating to pick his Brain (Arcade). 🎮

One of my favorite Pico8 games 🦇

RIP Brian Wilson. The GOAT of songwriting, and a huge influence in my life. Pet Sounds is still an amazing listen today (as are many of his other albums and songs). Load up The Beach Boys on your handheld and enjoy the brilliant soundscapes this dude brought into the world. Any favorites? 💜Stubbs

Planning to grab an RG35XX Pro but not sure what to do with it? As always be sure to check out our website for setup guides on some of the newer Anbernic releases to get up and running quickly. retrohandhelds.gg/anbernic-rg3...
