TL;DR: Play thousands of games from Nintendo, Sega, and beyond on the Retropian handheld console, only $79.99.


Gaming used to be more portable. Sure, the Switch and Switch 2 are technically portable, but they’re kind of bulky, and that’s a pretty expensive piece of tech to be carrying around in a backpack all day. That’s why third-party portable consoles are finally becoming more popular. The Retropian is an excellent example because it looks like an old-school Game Boy with some modern improvements, including over 10,000 pre-loaded retro games across different generations of consoles. The best part is it’s still only $79.99 (reg. $129).

Portable gaming is back

The Retropian Color really leans into nostalgia, but it doesn’t feel like a cheap knockoff. Its 3.5-inch IPS display is sharp and colorful, so even pixel-heavy games from the ‘80s and ‘90s look great. Whether you’re diving into SNES classics, reliving your favorite PlayStation 1 games, or checking out obscure Sega titles, everything runs smoothly thanks to the open-source Linux system running behind the scenes. And if the preloaded library isn’t enough, you can expand it easily with a microSD card.

Remember when you used to carry around an extra set of AA batteries? Not anymore. The Retropian gives you up to six hours of play, which is more than enough for a long flight, road trip, or lazy afternoon on the couch. Charging is fast and easy with USB-C, so you’re not stuck waiting forever to get back in the game.

Multiplayer is another cool bonus. The console has Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, so you can link up with friends for some classic two-player action. And despite its small size, it feels solid in your hands, with a familiar button layout that makes switching between old Nintendo, Sega, and arcade titles feel natural.

Bring your favorite games with you anywhere.
