There are two new retro handhelds on the market. Ayaneo, the company behind many, many handheld consoles for what seem like every gaming niche, revealed the Game Boy-inspired Ayaneo Pocket DMG and Pocket Micro on Wednesday, opening the door for more Android and game emulation options.

There’s also a wheel on the lefthand side that can adjust your volume but also perform other actions like scrolling through menus. It can even be mapped for specific apps.
The Pocket Micro is a bit smaller, as you can tell from the name, and not nearly as powerful as the DMG. The form factor is taken up mostly by its 3.5-inch 960 by 640 screen, which is significantly lower-resolution than the DMG’s panel. It also only has a 2,600mAh battery, so it won’t run for nearly as long .
