FunnyPlaying's FPGB Mini Sells Out First 20-Unit Batch, Plans More After Holidays

FunnyPlaying’s FPGB Mini is a pocketable handheld that plays Game Boy and Game Boy Color cartridges via an built-in emulator reading ROMs from a microSD card.

More batches are expected post-holiday, with official restock details to follow.

Sony’s PS6 Handheld: 540p Base Rendering with PSSR 3.0 Aims for PS5 Pro‑level Power

Leak claims Sony’s PS6 handheld, codenamed Project Canis (PSP 3), uses a 3nm AMD APU with six Zen 6 cores, 24GB shared LPDDR5X and 15–25W TDP, plus 16 RDNA 5 CUs. In mobile mode it delivers about 4.9 TFLOPS (1.2 GHz) and up to ~6.75 TFLOPS docked; PSSR 3.0 upscales a native 540p rendering to 1080p and adds frame generation, giving an effective ~10–11 TFLOPS mobile and ~14 TFLOPS docked—nearly matching PS5 Pro’s 16.7 TFLOPS. Sony is aiming for a late-2027 launch, though it’s unclear if this is tied to a PS6 release.

It’s powered by an Intel chip, uses a Predator Atlas 8–style cooling system, and includes two USB-C ports with Thunderbolt; Acer hasn’t announced retail release plans or full specs yet, and hands‑on testing is expected to gauge whether the concept could become a practical device (including use with external displays).

FFXIV Switch 2: handheld shines, docked visuals underwhelm

FFXIV on Switch 2 is solid in handheld mode with good load times and usable touchscreen, but the docked experience is disappointing—limited to 1080p, no 1440p/4K UI options, and a 30fps cap with subpar visuals—compared to PS5/Xbox/PC. VRR helps on some setups, but overall the handheld port shines for portability while docked performance lags; login flow remains a cross-platform quirk, and the subscription model adds complexity. The article says future updates for higher resolutions, better post-processing, and features like DLSS would help close the gap.

Sony Signals a Handheld-First PS6 and a Disc-Free Future

Sony's investor Q&A hints at a next-gen PlayStation built for mobility and digital delivery: a handheld-focused PS6 with dedicated devices like the PS Portal, a shift away from discs, and a 'true digital platform' strategy that prioritizes first-party IP and cross‑platform content while keeping living-room hardware for high-end experiences.

Lenovo Pulls Game Boy–Like G02 Over Pirated Games, Rebrands Surface Under Gusgu/H7

Lenovo has quietly ended sales of its licensed Game Boy–style G02 handheld after reports that the device came preloaded with pirated games. The device later resurfaced under new names—“Sunyao G02” and then “Gusgu H7”—but Lenovo says it does not authorize or support these products or pirate content. With Lenovo distancing itself, buyers can still find similar retro handhelds from other brands at affordable prices, highlighting a crowded, lower-cost market for handheld emulation devices.

Digimon Story Time Stranger Switch 2: Solid handheld port with performance caveats

Digimon Story: Time Stranger on Switch 2 offers two modes (Quality and Performance) with 4K/30 docked or 1080p/30 handheld in Quality and around 1080p/60 handheld in Performance. It’s a surprisingly strong portable version, but it suffers from jagged edges, softer textures, and inconsistent frame pacing, with 60fps not consistently stable even after patch 1.2.1. It remains cheaper than PS5/Xbox/PC versions and shows potential for further improvements through updates.
