I honestly didn't expect much when the Retroid Pocket Nova was first announced, but after spending a few days with it, this thing completely blew me away! Featuring a stunning 4:3 120Hz OLED display powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 tier Qualcomm QCS8550 chip, it effortlessly handles GameCube, PS2, and 3DS emulation at up to 3x resolution.
