Retroid Deals

Retroid_Flip2_Balatro_Hand

It starts off simply enough…..

Anbernic Deals

Anbernic’s Summer Sale has come to a close, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy some deep discounts on some awesome retro handhelds. The most obvious of which comes via the newly-launched RG477M, which can be had for as low as $210 for the base model, or $240 if you need more RAM and storage.

Anbernic

Powkiddy Deals

V90S On Top Just like Anbernic, there are some great retro handheld deals on a few Powkiddy devices. This includes the likes of the Powkiddy V10 and a few other solid deals.

Miyoo Deals

Miyoo Flip Review After months and months of leaks, the Miyoo Flip is FINALLY available for pre-order over at Amazon! But there’s still the Miyoo A30, Mini, or Mini Plus out there if you want a new retro handheld. While the A30 didn’t have the greatest launch, many of the initial problems have been solved thanks to the likes of Spruce transforming the software experience.

TrimUI

TrimUI_Brick_Gremlins2_GB

It makes Gizmo look great

One of the best values to be had in retro handhelds is the TrimUI Smart Pro, and that’s even without any special promotions or deals. That being said, you’ll definitely want to snag the Smart Pro before its price goes back up.

AYANEO Deals

Star Fox 64 on AYANEO Pocket EVO

Other Handheld Deals

There are a few other handhelds that are also on sale that we wanted to highlight and point out. Of course, this includes Nick’s beloved R36S along with a few new retro handhelds.

Save on x86 Devices

Of course, we love our retro handhelds around here, but usually that means hopping to a different device if you want to play something a bit more strenuous. Or, you could grab yourself a nifty x86 handheld and play practically all of your favorite retro games, and a lot of the newer stuff too.

Free Games and Game Deals

INNOCN 25G2S Gaming Monitor Review - Switch 2

While we’re all big fans of retro handhelds around here, that isn’t to say that we don’t also love good deals on games. Thankfully, there are plenty of those to go around, and we’ve rounded up the different ways you can save big.

Epic Games Store

Epic has a knack for dropping some pretty awesome games as part of its Free Game of the Week. This week, we have Strange Horticulture (4.6/5 Stars) and Kamaeru: A Frog Refuge (4.2/5 Stars) for those of you on a desktop or with an x86 gaming handheld. All you need to do is hit the button below and sign in with your Epic Games account so you can claim these before they’re gone!

Oh, and the fun doesn’t stop there, as you can also get a game completely for free if you have the Epic Games Store app installed on your phone. This week, we also have Strange Horticulture as the free game on mobile. Just download the Epic Games Store app, log in with your account, and claim the games before they’re gone. The only catch here is that while the Android app can be downloaded and installed by anyone, the iPhone and iPad app is only available for those in the EU.

Amazon Prime Gaming

Fanatical

Are you like us and have a knack for collecting games, even if you never plan on playing them? It’s kind of like some messed-up version of Pokemon that never actually ends. Anyway, one of the best places to rely on for getting a bunch of games for cheap is Fanatical. Here are the bundles and deals that you can currently enjoy over at Fanatical:

Humble Bundle

After a pretty quiet beginning of the year, that’s no longer the case over at Humble Bundle. Currently, we have a whopping nine different bundles to choose from:

Deals on Controllers and Keyboards

8BitDo Ultimate 2

Playing your favorite games on retro handhelds can only go so far, and there are times when you’d rather enjoy games on a bigger screen. 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

Odin 2 Mini Setup Guide - microSD Cards close-up - 1 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.

    I managed to find a coupon code for 15% off the gamesir g8+ bringing it to 68 from the manufacturer. I’ll see if I can find it again.

      RG35XX SP is my favorite clamshell this year so far! Depends on what kind of performance you’re wanting though. You could go as big as the AYANEO DS, but you’re talking nearly $1k.

    Gogamegeek “mystery box” deal was on here in November… the real mystery is if they will actually ever send anything or respond to emails!
    Totally understand RH does not have anything to do with GGG, but maybe they will pay attention if the community hears about it.
    Thank you for all you do RH rules!!

      The X-mas mystery box for x-mas holidays was great, I got my device within 2 weeks, I also reached out to them and they replied within 1 day.

      I got the device I wished for (rg35xxsp) in the color I hoped for and paid €45.
      Lucky and happy
