Original Title: We are FINALLY getting a new PS2/GC capable small pocketable 4:3 handheld with the new Retroid Pocket Mini!!! It has been confirmed to pack a Snapdragon chip more powerful than the D900 of the RP4 base model. RG405M and Pocket 2S owners rejoice!

As some of you may already know, the Retroid Mini has just been announced in a teaser trailer:

And there are MANY reasons to be excited:

  • 4:3 screen - FINALLY, no more black bars during emulation
  • ergonomic form factor - small thin slabs can be great for pocketability, but they can be uncomfortable to play. As the RG40XX and RG Cube demonstrated, ergonomics matter!
  • cooling vent on the back - this definitely means it’s something far more powerful than the H700 shovelware we keep getting. Likely PS2/GC capable as the Pocket 2S had no vent but could play some Gamecube and PS2.

The BEST news, though? It was confirmed elsewhere that retroid had an upcoming handheld powered by a Snapdragon chip more powerful than the D900 processor of the Retroid Pocket 4 Base, and this DEFINITELY fits the description perfectly.

Guessing Retroid got sick of waiting for Anbernic to release the long awaited PS2/GC capable pocketable RG406 and said, “Screw it, I’ll do it myself” lmao.
