I've enjoyed Jesse Cox's 5 minute gaming news that are quick daily videos on what's going on in the gaming world. I was a huge Co-Optional Podcast fan and this has been slightly filling that void.

Looks great! What are all the layers?

I'm surprised no one mentioned the Analogue Pocket, especially if you had cartridges. It does have support for ROMs as well. One of the best features is that you can sleep your device on even original cartridges

It's been pretty fun! I'm looking forward to what's to come!

Unfortunately, no SNES core has the capability of save states. Someone would need to create one with that in mind, but according to some core devs, it's very difficult. The Analogue Pocket would have been the clear winner if that was the case

Yeah, I'm super excited for it to come in. I'm not sure if it's true or not to set up a system of cloud saves to continue playing on my desktop or not.

 

I've been trying to get into playing some old games I've either missed out on or have completely forgot I've even played. I now find myself wanting to play games from SNES and the Gameboy line and can't settle down on which handheld to play all these games on.

I have my old 3DS handhelds, and XL and non-XL version (proprietary charging), Analogue Pocket (no SNES save states), Miyoo Mini + (currently shipping), a Switch, and a Steam Deck (too heavy for long playthroughs). I find myself constantly switching between them all and can't settle down to actually play a game.

Anyone have any opinions on what's the best handheld experience?

I didn't even know that existed, but thank you for sharing!

Been meaning to sit down and finally play some retro games that I've either never played or forgotten I've played.

New hotness is currently the paper mario series!
