Love retro games? Don’t miss this new handheld console

TL;DR: Bring your favorite classic games anywhere with the Retropian Color Handheld Console, now just $79.99.

Gaming used to be more mobile. Sure, the Switch is portable, but it’s bulky, and who wants to risk something that expensive by carrying it around? That’s why third-party handhelds like the Retropian are making a comeback.

The Retropian Color looks like a classic Game Boy but comes packed with over 10,000 retro games. You’ll get hits from NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, PlayStation 1, and more, all running smoothly on its open-source Linux system. The 3.5-inch IPS screen shows off games in sharp, colorful detail, and if you want more, you can load extra games using a microSD card.

Battery life is impressive, with up to six hours of play on a single charge. It recharges quickly with USB-C, so you won’t be stuck waiting. And thanks to Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, you can even jump into multiplayer sessions with friends.

At just 0.55 pounds, the Retropian is easy to toss in your bag without weighing you down. The familiar D-pad, ABXY buttons, and analog sticks make it feel like old-school gaming in the best way.

Bring your favorite games anywhere.
