Ahead of the launch of the Retroid Pocket 6, set to start shipping on January 15, Retroid has been sharing videos that display the handheld’s capabilities. In some of these latest clips, you can see the device being used with Retroid’s Dual Screen Add-on accessory.
Retroid Dual Screen Add-On Details
Last year, the Retroid Dual Screen Add-On was introduced as a way to provide a second screen for compatible Retroid handhelds. It came out when competitors like AYN and Ayaneo were also unveiling dual-screen devices. The product page clearly states that it works with the Pocket Mini, Pocket Mini V2, and Pocket 5 (which is currently priced at $229 on Amazon), so it’s nice to see that this add-on is also compatible with the new Retroid Pocket 6.
Gameplay Footage
One of the clips features the Retroid Pocket 6 playing Super Smash Bros. for the 3DS, showing gameplay on the upper screen while the damage percentage is shown on the Pocket 6’s display. Another video showcases the handheld operating Mario Kart 7 for the 3DS.
If you already have the Dual Screen Add-On, you can start using it with the Pocket 6 immediately. Unfortunately, for those who want to buy the screen add-on after viewing these videos, it is currently out of stock on Retroid’s website. It’s unclear how long it has been unavailable and whether this will be a permanent situation. If that’s the case, we hope Retroid is developing a new version of the accessory.
