Are you tired of searching for the best deals on retro handhelds? Well, you’ve come to the right place.
Table of Contents
We’ll be rounding up a few of our favorite deals every week, and today, we hope your wallets are ready.
Handheld.Deals
Before you ask, no, that’s not a typo and an errant period that doesn’t belong. We know how much everyone loves a good deal, so we’ve been cooking up something to help you get the best deal possible. I suppose you can consider this a “soft launch,” as there’s still a lot of work that needs to be done. However, just because the cooks are in the kitchen doesn’t mean the restaurant is completely shut down.
With that said, please feel free to reach out to any of us over on the RH Discord with comments, suggestions, or problems. We’ve also just fired up a Twitter account, and we even have you covered if you prefer to send an email. So head on over, check it out, and let us know what you think!

AYN Deals
If you landed here looking for deals on AYN handhelds, you’ve come to the right place. Unfortunately, there aren’t currently any discounts to be had, and AYN has temporarily paused shipping to the US due to the ongoing tariff situation.
Retroid Deals
It’s not all that often that we’re able to enjoy discounts on Retroid devices, but that’s no longer the case! You’ll be able to enjoy a discounted Retroid Pocket 5 over at AliExpress, while the Pocket Flip 2 and Classic are officially on sale.

Powkiddy Deals
NOTE: As of this week, Powkiddy has suspended all shipments to the U.S. as it waits for the “logistics clearance plan.” As such, we have not found any Powkiddy handhelds on AliExpress that won’t be subjected to tariffs.
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
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.

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.

Save on x86 Devices
We know that both MSI and ASUS have new handhelds around the corner, but that doesn’t mean that the current iterations should be ignored. This is especially the case considering that both the MSI Claw and Legion Go have been discounted. Over at Amazon, many of the best Windows handhelds can be had for at least $100 off, but you can save up to $200 if you want to take the Claw for a spin.

Free Games and Game Deals
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 “just” have Super Space Club (4.2/5 Stars), which is described as being a “lo-fi arcade space shooter to chill to.” 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, it’s a double-whammy, as Super Space Club is also free for 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.

Way to go! Great round up! Also that Hyrule switch lite…. OHHH it’s so nice!
I want it! Thanks for reading and your kind words.
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.
15off still works as of today
Thanks!! We’ll get it added.
Super infi. Thanks!
Any suggestions on clamshells?
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.
The Flydigi Dire wolf is on sale not the Vader 4 pro Dire wolf is freaking awesome deal at $28 bucks BTW
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
No AliExpress coupons are working for me for several days now. Are they working for anyone?
