Retroid Pocket 2: The Thread

this company has announced a clamshell which may be the hook finally baited for me

i know there was some buyer’s remorse around the rp2 here but a few hardware generations later and solid community aftermarket support makes it look pretty appealing i think (the guts of this are largely the same as the rp3+)

i greatly enjoy the (now sold through) tiny one-handed jrpg machine that is the miyoo mini and am waiting for it’s new wifi capable big sister in the mail

this device category is fun, and while many situations may be better served by a homebrew capable 3ds or vita, its hard to beat the community-solved brain-off capability of these as drag-n-drop portable everything-machines

as impulse purchases go, certainly more useful and less costly than panic’s perpetually-on-preorder whimsical comfygame ewaste device
