This one has been a long time coming. I’ve been trying over the years to get a Retroid device of any kind to review on our site. People hold the products in such high regard and that means something. I wanted to see what all of the fuss was about. …

We’ve covered Gameboy stuff out the yin-yang, you know it and I know it. What should we talk about now? How about that awful Game Gear screen that has a bad backlight and draws far too much power? Sound good? Because we have a new set of products from RetroKAI.store …
