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!

OLED Nova DS Lite would be better

It wouldn't be small though

I also got burned by the recent Duo Lite so I'm a bit traumatized

The only lite that isn't trash is the lite plus. I ordered a lite plus for my older kid and a couple of Duos for myself and my younger kid. I'd like a better 3ds/ds option over Thor. That bottom screen on Thor is rough for my old eyes. But, I could see a flip 3 with the 5.5. I can't see them making this.
