For those who celebrate, we just wanted to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving! We hope it's filled with tasty foods (and/or handhelds). We are grateful and thankful to have this community, and for all of you in it! To celebrate we've shared a few more things we think it's worth being thankful for.

I hope you're all having a great week out there!

How's it going everyone? Here's what happened in the last week around the olll Retro Handhelds! I will try to get these out earlier in the week, please accept my shortcomings!
Much Love or "Rizz" from Stubbs (i'm learning)
In case you missed it, here's your stories from around the scene and RH content to catch up on for the last week!

Happy Gamings!

Hello there! I know it's been a while since we had a Patron newsletter, and really, they have now morphed into a full fledged weekly update that we host on our website, to keep you informed of what we have going on around the scene and RH. It can be a nice way to speedrun through the week's news and community happenings.
So with that, we'll be sharing our weekly updates through Patreon now in addition to our other platforms to help you stay up to date! This one is from a few days ago, ...
Well, ok its been a while since we've had a proper one of these hasn't it? I suppose this is as good a time as ever to let you all know these big updates will now be quarterly rather than monthly. I'm not saying we were all hibernating through the hot Summer, but I'm also not NOT saying that. I'm also not saying that Stubbs doesn't tighten the cuffs enough to keep me chained to the keyboard in his attic, but I'm also not NOT saying that. The occasional dead man's sprint through the woods as S...

Greetings, fellow enthusiasts & Happy July! Stubbs here.
A lot has been going on, including new partnerships and endeavors, but mainly we are celebrating reaching 25,000 members in our Discord! We are floored and appreciate each and every one of you. If you have a moment, I'd like to share the RH origin story to celebrate.
This place of shenanigans and friendships all started from making a sub reddit for the Retroid Pocket 2. It could play N64, and it was adorable! ...
Greetings, fellow enthusiasts! As temperatures rise, don't forget the importance of personal hygiene - in this case, your trusty deodorant. A friendly reminder, it's not optional, it's a necessity. For those already deep in the throes of allergy season, we sympathize with your sniffles and itchy eyes. While the allergy party isn't the most enjoyable, we're equipped with a metaphorical punch bowl spiked with Benadryl for some relief.
Now, let's shift our focus from May's trials to someth...
2023-05-23 19:58:52 +0000 UTC View PostOh boy, is it April already, where did the time go? I could swear yesterday we were talking about our new professional wrestling careers, or something like that. Oh, wait no, it was just our New Years Resolutions to bring plenty of growth and change to our community, and still possibly wrestling careers? I'm still waiting on my Luchador uniform. In the meantime, we can talk about the other less violent changes and improvements that have either happened or are happening.
First let's talk...

Hey... hey Patrons... wake up. It's 2023, we survived another year, but I need you to get off my couch and clean up your beer / kambucha cans. Take a couple to go, hair of the dog, I don't care, you just have to get out of my house. A little bit of deja vu for those of you who partied way too hard on New Years Eve, but you never have to leave the Retro Handhelds house because here you're family. It's New Year, New Retro Handhelds, and this year we're ditching handhelds in favor of becom...

All the patrons in the house say yay-uh! Now all the patrons in the house say your full credit card number and security code on the back, because it's Christmas and Raven Mage could use the extra gift budget (Just kidding, probably, most likely).
Alright so spooky season, turkey season, and that's it for the year, right? Oh right, yeah, that obscure holiday called Christmas! And the major ones like Hannukah and Kwanzaa and Boxing Day, Happy Holidays to all and to all MORE HAN...

Hey there, you dazzling patrons, how about an update?
Spooky Season is behind us, so now it's time for turkey! Thanksgiving is coming up for many of us, and we have a lot to be thankful for. RH Weekly is coming atcha' once a week on our channel, bringing you Stubbs and Damien rambling on about the latest in handheld and retro news. They're on top of all the latest rumors and leaks about the Anbernic Mini, the RP...
10,203 words later, and the Retro-Handhelds.com review of the AYN Odin Base, Pro, and Lite is live!
This ARM-based powerhouse is perfect for Nintendo 64, Dreamcast, GameCube, and PlayStation 2 emulation. We were naturally impressed with the power of the Odin Pro, but we were blown away with how well the Odin Lite was able to keep up.
Whether you're looking for peak performance or just a great bang for your buck, AYN has your back.
PS: We also show off the Sakura Re...
Patrons!
Hope you're all doing well!
We've been keeping busy at RH Central. Our second anniversary is right around the corner! We're going to be streaming a live recording of the Retro Handhelds podcast tomorrow, 8/9, at 8:00PM EST. Join us for some looking back on the last two years, light Q&A, and totally impromptu guest appearances (you?)!

Patrons,
It's hard to believe Summer's already here! There's never a dull moment in the retro handheld world. Since we've spoken last, the Retroid Pocket 2, Ayn Odin, and Miyoo Mini have begun landing landing in greater numbers, and there's a whole new crop of Windows-based handhelds to look forward to from the likes of Ayn, Aya, and Anbernic. Even some of the mythical batch-shipped preordered portables of 2022 like the Steam Deck, Playdate, and Analogue Pocket have started hitting the...
Hello Patrons!
It's hard to believe the first quarter of 2022 is behind us already. The crew at Retro Handhelds has been keeping busy these last few months. Here's a quick rundown of some of the latest developments in the scene.
Thor recently got his hands on a Steam Deck, and did a live SSD upgrade and testing stream with Stubbs and Russ. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wr-Txn6_CBo Over on the R...
Patrons,
It's hard to believe it's February already! The Retroid Pocket 2+ has begun landing in people's hands, and the first few Odins have burst onto the scene. It's an exciting time in the Retro Handhelds community, and we're continually thankful for all the support you've been showing.
We've expanded our media crew in the last few weeks, and have been working hard to populate the Retro Handhelds YouTube channel with a variety of videos.
