While the biggest gaming handheld launch of 2024 will be Nintendo Switch 2, I can't help but be hyped for MyArcade's lovely looking Atari Gamestation Portable. This smart little retro gaming handheld looks like 50 years of Atari knowhow in one smart device. And yes, I also love the 1980s beige and orange design. It's certain to be one of this year's best retro consoles.
Announced at this year's CES, the Atari Gamestation Portable is a retro gaming delight as it doubles down on the way we played Atari games in the 70s and 80s and doesn't make any concessions for modern gamers. The result is a handheld retro console that adds to the familiar D-pad and face buttons with Atari-specific controllers: the Trak-Ball, Paddle, and Keypad.
