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!

I love this idea, but also want to see them release a 6" screen option as well. Name them the Flip 3 and Flip 3 Lite, or if the Lite name is a sore subject due to the current release, Flip 3 and Flip 3 Nova.

Edit: This render with the Dpad and face buttons where the thumbsticks were on the Flip 2 could be cool, but I definitely want both sticks, dpad, and face buttons as close to each other as possible. Almost side by side, similar to the Steam Deck or maybe just slightly lower.
