Boutique handheld gaming firm Ayaneo has introduced the Ayaneo Flip DS — a 7-inch 120Hz handheld gaming clamshell with a second display that’s clearly impressed by the Nintendo DS, and may let it play video games like one too.
Based on Liliputing’s Brad Linder, who deserves kudos for calling out the corporate’s try to plant a “leak,” each the Flip DS and the same Flip KB might be powered by AMD’s Ryzen 7 7840U. That’s the identical chip that’s in virtually each different flagship Home windows gaming handheld for the time being, together with fairly a couple of from Ayaneo itself.
Whereas that AMD chip seems like overkill for Nintendo DS titles — I’m very curious about battery life — a secondary display to correctly show Nintendo’s top-and-bottom video games is a rarity within the emulation world.
A lot of handhelds (and telephones) can already emulate the DS, however they usually put the highest and backside screens aspect by aspect or allow you to swap between trying on the prime or backside at any given time.
In the event you’re within the Ayaneo Flip DS, know that it’s doubtless going to take a convoluted path to market. Not solely does Ayaneo crowdfund all its merchandise, however it additionally tends to trickle out particulars as slowly because it probably can forward of their Indiegogo debut. The corporate additionally broadcasts new designs sooner than it may ship them — by the point I’ve obtained one of many firm’s merchandise for testing, it’s nearly at all times already moved on to a more moderen, extra fascinating mannequin.
