Obviously, we don’t know anything about this thing yet. The one SD card slot suggests Android only. So should we anticipate this thing getting pretty hot? That would typically be tied to more powerful devices. So if you’re not gonna’ give us something that plays more than that, we wouldn’t need the two joysticks.Īnd this new prototype has a top and rear ventilation grill. We already have plenty of vertical handhelds that can play up to PS1 and Dreamcast. In 2023, we shouldn’t really expect much less than that in a device with these kinds of button configurations. Would they make a device like this to run Android and be able to play stuff like Game Cube and PS2? What we cannot predict is just how powerful they would try to go in a vertical that looks like a Game Boy. That’s PSP, Dreamcast, N64, Playstation 1.

There’s also some major differences, because this new emulation handheld would be made to play much more than just Game Boy titles. It’s got the same overall shape and the same butt, which was made to accommodate batteries and added some comfort in the grip.Įven the start and select have the same shape and look to them.

So let’s do it people, let’s break down this potential vertical handheld from GoRetroid and decide if we are messin’ with it or not. Tough to say if this is a real design from GoRetroid, since it does not come from them, and it shares no similarities to their previous consoles.īut, as usual with these kinds of internet leaks, it’s tough not to start to pick apart the details and wonder all of the what-ifs. Which is pretty much where we all flock to daily hoping for news about our emulators. These images come from user Roland on the Retro Handhelds discord channel.
