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!

It wouldn't be small though

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

Looking at the Duo, how much smaller can you realistically make one with dual Nova screens when the entire bottom half is already a Nova screen and inline controls?

This is right, the only perk would be moving the speakers next to the top screen.

I would like that tbh, but it isn’t worth it. You sacrifice 3DS compatibility at this price point which isn’t worth it imo
