If this isn’t powerful enough for Citra, it’ll be useless, but it looks fun. Reminds me of the New 2DS in a good way!
AMD’s Ryzen 7 7840U
Yeah that’s plenty for 3ds.
The handheld PC market has been booming. There’s so many cool products that have been coming out. Personally I’m sticking with more established companies like Steam, Asus, and Lenovo due to being able to get better support , but the creativity of these devices have been incredible to see.
My personal favorite has to be the GPD Win 4 Pro. Brings back the PSP nostalgia and it seems more pocketable than other ones. I’m buying the Lenovo Legion Go but if money was no factor I’d buy the GPD to take on the go.
What kind of games do these run?
7840u so it’s a generation ahead of steam deck and just shy of off the asus handheld performance
This is the first I’ve seen of it but I’ll guess it’s a retro gaming emulator handheld, android or Linux based. So it’ll run whatever its chips are powerful enough to run.
Don’t answer questions you don’t know the answer to.
At least be fair to them that they disclaim that it’s the first they’ve seen and that they’re guessing.
Yeah but that’s worthless and still potentially misleading
I wouldn’t say it’s entirely worthless, but sure, I’d still far prefer that to someone mindlessly speculating with no reference of how accurate the info is
This is from Ayaneo, who make mostly high-end handheld PCs. This one is using a similar chip to the ROG Ally, so its a Windows handheld, and quite a powerful one.
those insets for the joysticks look like serious design flaws
its like a funnel for dirt and dust to be directed right where itll fuck everything up
Ayaneo Flip DS
It’s not even hiding it.
More seriously though, I always loved the form factor of the Nintendo DS (I’m still rocking a 3DS) and the dual-screen setup allowed for amazing and unique gameplays that you don’t find anymore in today’s games where the focus is more and more on 3D graphics. Try to watch a Kirby Canvas Curse playthrough and you’ll get what I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=006aQg2JIvI , it was also good as a Kanji learning tool for Japanese learners (see for example: https://2think.org/japan-ds.shtml).
I love how the 3DS can go fuck itself, when it’s the actual DS successor lol
(Btw, currently replaying FE: Awakening)
And like the Nintendo DS Lite, it’s gonna be cheap plastic at the hinge that will crack over time.
Kind looks interesting but also looks like ergonomics are absolute shit. I thought the switch was bad, this looks worse :(
Good god the ergonomics on that look like shit.
