The handheld features a 4.88-inch display with a resolution of 1080 × 1620 pixels and a 3:2 aspect ratio. This format is particularly appealing for retro gaming because it better accommodates older console titles that do not match modern widescreen displays. The panel is also noticeably sharper than the screen used in some competing handhelds, such as the Ayaneo Pocket Micro, which uses a smaller 3.5-inch display with a lower resolution.

This Gadget Lets You Play Game Boy Games on a Laptop-If You Have the Cartridge

The Game Boy family of handheld consoles was groundbreaking, making gaming more accessible to millions worldwide. Nintendo's portables beat off technologically superior competition from the likes of Sega's Game Gear and Atari's Lynx. They became home to foundational moments for the medium, from what is still arguably the definitive version of Tetris to the birth of Pokémon. Yet with the iconic gray monolith launching in 1989, it's now pushing 40-and playing those important classics gets tougher every year.

The PSP had one analog stick when games clearly needed two. The Vita added that second stick but inexplicably skipped analog triggers and clickable thumbsticks, forcing developers to map essential controls to an awkward rear touchpad. The PS Portal finally nailed the controls by essentially splitting a DualSense controller in half, then rendered the achievement mostly irrelevant by making it stream-only.

Every Old Game Deserves A 60FPS Update

Returning to old games isn't always easy. Depending on how old the game is, you might run into various problems, including unusual controls or compatibility issues. Another common point of friction you might encounter is an older game running poorly. This can make it a slog to replay some of the modern classics, even if they're just a decade or so old. So I'm happy to see Ubisoft going back and updating performance in games like Far Cry Primal and Assassin's Creed Unity.

The JVC Pyramid TV That Defined Retro Futurism in the 70s Now Wants to Be a LEGO Set - Yanko Design

Before flat screens colonized every wall and surface, televisions had personality. They came in wild shapes and bold colors, designed by people who believed consumer electronics could be sculpture. The JVC 3100R Video Capsule, produced throughout the 1970s, exemplified this philosophy. Its pyramid form and space-helmet aesthetic made it a favorite among collectors of "space-abilia," that peculiar category of objects inspired by Apollo missions and science fiction films.
