- Retroid revealed a new vertical handheld called the Retroid Pocket Classic.
- First teased in February, it’s the first vertical handheld from Retroid since 2020.
- It features a Game Boy-like design with a square screen and no joysticks.
Retroid has been incredibly active this year, announcing the clamshell Retroid Flip 2 and a mysterious vertical handheld last month. Now, the company has finally given us a look at that mysterious vertical handheld, and it looks like a colorful return to a simpler time in gaming.
Called the Retroid Pocket Classic, it features a Game Boy-like design, with a massive (almost) square screen and no joysticks to be found. The lack of joysticks, aspect ratio, and, well, name, indicate that it’s primarily for older retro games.
