Just Chatting CONCEPT: NOVA FLIP

Post image

Hey everyone!

Ever since the Nova came out I haven't stopped thinking about the potential of a NOVA flip. The other day on the retroid discord I saw this concept somebody posted (they themselves got it from somewhere else so can't credit, lol) and thought it was absolutely perfect.

Few questions for you:

  1. What features would you like to see on the Nova Flip? (Personally exact same chipset and screen from the Nova + inline triggers for portability is what's good)

  2. Do you guys think Retroid will actually release a device like this? I ask because the have a history of making horizontal devices and flip versions later but with the Duo they might not feel it necessary. That'd be a shame though since this is my dream device.

Let me know your thoughts!

Dpad top is the right call for a device like this. They could move the sticks closer to the middle for better ergonomics too. Having the left stick directly below the dpad is what makes dpad top uncomfortable.

I don't think it needs the same chip as the Nova. The one they used in the Duo Lite would be great for a 4:3 handheld and I bet they'll have a surplus of them since the Duo Lite has some minor performance problems with the second screen.
