Nuked Hey there, fellow tech enthusiasts! It’s your funny guy Nuked here, ready to share some exciting news with you. Brace yourselves, because Ayaneo, the boutique handheld gaming company, has just announced their latest creation – the Ayaneo Flip DS. And let me tell you, only true Nintendo DS lovers will fully appreciate this dual-screen handheld PC.
Now, before we dive into the details, let’s give a shoutout to Brad Linder from Liliputing. He deserves some serious kudos for calling out Ayaneo’s attempt to plant a “leak.” Anyway, both the Flip DS and its sibling, the Flip KB, will be powered by AMD’s Ryzen 7 7840U. Yes, the same chip that you can find in many flagship Windows gaming handhelds, including a few from Ayaneo themselves.
But here’s the kicker – the Flip DS features a secondary screen that’s clearly inspired by the Nintendo DS. And this is where things get interesting. While other handhelds and phones can already emulate the DS, they often display the top and bottom screens side by side or make you switch between them. But not this bad boy. The Flip DS provides a rare treat for emulation enthusiasts – a proper display for Nintendo’s top-and-bottom games.
Now, I can already hear some of you wondering about battery life with that powerful AMD chip on board. Trust me, I’m curious too! But hey, let’s not forget about all those folding phones like Samsung’s Galaxy Fold that got the emulator community excited. And just look at some Steam Deck owners who’ve gone as far as bolting on a second screen to their handhelds.
If you’re itching to get your hands on the Ayaneo Flip DS, be prepared for a convoluted journey. Ayaneo loves crowdfunding their products and tends to reveal details at a snail’s pace before their big Indiegogo debut. And let’s not forget about their habit of announcing new designs faster than they can ship them. By the time I get my hands on one of their products for testing, they’ve already moved on to something newer and more desirable.
In fact, Ayaneo has a whole lineup of exciting handhelds in the works. They’ve got these two clamshells, a sliding keyboard PC, a big-battery + big-screen + touchpads PC, another big-screen + touchpads PC, and even a mysterious one that uses Qualcomm’s new chip. And get this – they claim to have shipped their first Android handheld in September, on top of the numerous Windows handhelds they’ve already sent out in just two years. I honestly don’t know how they manage it all.
So there you have it, my tech-loving friends. Ayaneo is shaking things up with the Ayaneo Flip DS, a handheld gaming clamshell that brings back that nostalgic Nintendo DS feel. Keep an eye out for their crowdfunding campaign and get ready to experience gaming on a whole new level!
That’s all for now. Stay tuned for more tech news and hilarious commentary from yours truly, Nuked!
