Screen aspect ratio is a big factor when choosing a retro handheld.

Widescreen (Retroid Pocket 5) is great for PSP and later 3D consoles, although widescreen hacks for DreamCast, PS1, and even N64, can add a lot to the experience.

4:3 (Anbernic RG406H) is a natural fit for most consoles.

You would think that the square screens (Anbernic RG CubeXX) would make sense for only a few games but, in practice, they work out much better than you would expect. Retro Game Corps’s review of the PowKiddy RGB30 explains it pretty well.

That’s really helpful information. Thank you, Kelly.

What does “internet” mean?

I believe it means you’ll be able to watch it on the NHK web site. Keep an eye on the show’s page.
