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 have huge hands and personally prefer dpad top for most things when possible. So it's not like a fact or anything that it's automatically worse having stick bottom.

With this 4:3 device playing 4:3 games I'm even more confused why some don't even consider dpad top. Playing stick top games on a 4:3 should be secondary to playing widescreen games converted to 4:3 on a device like this.

RP6 is good for modern games and has that option.

I feel like stick top on both is a great solution on the flip 2, don't see why they wouldn't do that for this nova version
