Hands on With The Retroid Pocket Duo; A Little More Magic This Time

A Familiar Design, a Different Kind of DuoWhen I finished reviewing the Retroid Pocket Duo Lite, I found myself in a slightly unusual position. There were plenty of things about it that I could criticize, and its modest hardware certainly made some of the things I wanted to do more difficult than they needed to be, but I still really liked the little thing. Retroid has always had a knack for making handhelds that feel like toys in the very best sense of the word, and the Duo Lite was no exception. It was colorful, comfortable, wonderfully nostalgic, and I enjoyed picking it up and opening those two screens. SeedlessDS eventually became something of a saving grace for me, not because the other emulators were necessarily lacking, but because I enjoyed using it so much that it gave me another reason to keep coming back to the device. Still, I couldn't help wondering what this same design might be capable of with considerably more powerful hardware behind it.Hands-On with Retroid Pocket…
