Kanga Clanga Badnik from Sonic Superstars. He is cute and orange, with a lovable blank eyed expression.
Kanga Clanga Badnik, as it appears in a 2.5D prototype Evening Star worked on after Sonic Mania. It is balancing on its tail and kicking forward with its springy roo feet! Sonic is knocked to the left with significant kinetic force.
A wider shot of Kanga Clanga hopping in pursuit of Sonic in the outback.
It is now the 8th anniversary of Mania so time to dig up some Sonic trivia... This year, it's Kanga Clanga! (aka the Kangus). This lovable robo-roo originally lived in the outback but now entertains us all in Pinball Carnival Zone!

Are you an Anbe(r)liver? That sounded wrong, sorry. #Anbernic released their new BatleXP competitor ;) the RG-35XX-Pro. We think it should be called the RG-35XX-V, but what do we know? Well, we only know all its specs, and had them compared:

There's a new Powkiddy flippin' around: the V90s! A successor to the pre-pandemic V90, it's a solid compact clamshell, perpetuating that look from a certain boy who had a pocket for games in the 90s. You know what I mean! Check it out on handheldsarena!

Look what the retro cat dragged in! Two fantastic handhelds, the flippin Anbernic RG-34XXSP and the flappin Retroid Pocket Mini V2. Both are the second iteration of their previous models: do they live up to their predecessors? Decide here:

Also, FYI, detachable right controller is NOT a thing, ok?

How do you feel about handhelds with detachable controllers? Besides the beast that is the recently released #OneXplayerX1Pro and the popular Nintendo Switch, there are two more brands with this special kind of device ;) Guess which ones?

Are you a fan of cheap handhelds from China? Here's a bunch, just... Remember to keep your expectations in check, ok?

Well, here's an interesting device! Do you like small screens and pocketable formats and can't live without Android? Look no further; the MagicX Mini Zero 28 is for you! With a 2.8'' screen, does size really matter? You decide!

The Frog for Whom the Bell Tolls is as good as Link's Awakening. I'm going to die on this hill.
The combat system is unique, the music is gorgeous and it's very pretty.
As for the narrative, it's not as strong as a Zelda game however it has a lot of humour and it's light hearted.
Go check it out โบ๏ธ
Remember these 4 beauties from Sony? The good old days ;) They look almost the same, but how different were they? Check them out here handheldsarena.com/compare/#son...

It's time for the spotlight to hit #AYN Technologies with its January 2025 device: the fantastic #Odin2Portal ! Essentially, it's an Odin 2 with a one-inch bigger AMOLED screen. Does size truly matter? Check this comparison and decide!

#Powkiddy started 2025 with their 35th device: the Powkiddy X35H. Time flies when you look at Powkiddy's catalog, am I right? Check out the X35H, its bigger and older brother X55, and two other very good Anbernic alternatives.
