AYANEO's latest handheld is a small, premium device that features 4x integer scaling for GBA games. But unexpectedly, this screen also provides a pitch-perfect image for other beloved retro consoles, including NES, SNES, and Genesis. Let's do a deep-dive review and demonstrate how the Pocket Micro surprised me, and is quickly becoming one of my favorite premium retro handhelds of the year.
Note that due to a recent copyright strike on my channel, I blurred any Nintendo gameplay footage. In future videos I will simply omit their content, to give you a better view of performance with other games. I apologize for all the blurry footage!
This was a review unit sent to me by the manufacturer. All opinions are my own, they did not see this review ahead of time, and no money was exchanged in any way.
