🔗 Looks like a SEGA Genesis inspired Retroid Pocket Classic is on the way

The Pocket Classic, but make it SEGA.

Retroid teased a new take on their Pocket Classic handheld over on X earlier today, claiming that if their social media post got a specific (rather low ball) number of likes they'd give this new colorway option the green light.

Well, to the surprise of no one, the post easily surpassed the 'required' 350 likes. So, with the social media attention grab done, we can now only assume this new SEGA-inspired colour is on the way. At time of writing the post has over 1,000 likes by the way.

The Pocket Classic is already available in seven different finishes (I love the atomic purple and PKM Yellow options), and this new black and grey choice will add Genesis vibes to the line up. A nice addition for any retro SEGA fans.
