Are you tired of searching for the best deals on retro handhelds? Well, you’ve come to the right place. We’ll be rounding up a few of our favorite deals every week, and today, we hope your wallets are ready.

AliExpress Discount Codes

Now that the AliExpress Choice Sale has concluded, the 11.11 sale is officially underway, offering some pretty incredible discounts even without any discount codes. However, you can save even more with the help of a few discount codes, depending on how much you toss into your cart.

If you’re looking for even steeper discounts, we have a few special coupon codes that you can still take advantage of. Just make sure you meet the minimum cost in your cart, then enter the coupon code at checkout. The only caveat when using these codes is that they are currently only available for those who live in the U.S.

• RHH9: $9 off $30
• RHH15: $15 off $60
• RHH25: $25 off $100

There are so many great controllers out there, including the 8BitDo Pro 2. This controller features Hall Effect joysticks and triggers and the classic retro look that we’ve loved for years.

Deals on Storage

No matter how you look at it, there’s no such thing as having too much storage. That’s why we’re constantly on the lookout for great deals on microSD cards and SSDs for our various devices. Instead of focusing on just one or two, we’ve compiled a list of different storage deals for you to check out.

It’s wonderful being able to play your favorite retro games from pretty much anywhere. What isn’t so great is when you’re in the middle of a game and you run out of juice. That’s why we recommend grabbing a portable charger. Some of these are definitely better suited for x86 handhelds, but all of them feature a USB-A port for your retro handhelds.

That also goes for any game deals that crop up on a daily and weekly basis. With that in mind, here are a few more deals that you should consider:
