It’s no secret that handheld gaming is in a bit of a renaissance right now. Ushered in by the Nintendo Switch and carried forward by the Steam Deck and more powerful handheld PCs like the MSI Claw 8 EX AI+, there’s never been more options for playing games on the small screen, whether that’s away from home or just around the house without being tied to a console.

In particular, Android-powered dual-screen handhelds like the AYN Thor look to offer hardware designed for emulating the Nintendo DS and 3DS. This week, Retroid entered the fray teasing out its upcoming Pocket Duo, and today we now know how much it will cost.
The Retroid Pocket Duo will cost $270 for the flagship model, which comes with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, though there’s a coupon to knock $20 off when pre-ordering.

Both models come in a variety of colors, including ones reminiscent of GameCube purple, Game Boy greyish-white, and clear blue and atomic purple. Pre-orders are currently sold out.
