Boutique handheld gaming company Ayaneo has announced the Ayaneo Flip DS \u2014 a 7-inch 120Hz handheld gaming clamshell with a second<\/em> screen <\/em>that\u2019s clearly inspired by the Nintendo DS, and might let it play games like one too.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n According to Liliputing<\/em>\u2019s Brad Linder<\/a>, who deserves kudos for calling out the company\u2019s attempt to plant a \u201cleak,\u201d both the Flip DS and a similar Flip KB will be powered by AMD\u2019s Ryzen 7 7840U. That\u2019s the same chip that\u2019s in practically every other<\/a> flagship Windows gaming handheld at the moment, including quite a few from Ayaneo itself. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n While that AMD chip sounds like overkill for Nintendo DS titles \u2014 I\u2019m very curious<\/em> about battery life \u2014 a secondary screen to properly display Nintendo\u2019s top-and-bottom games is a rarity in the emulation world. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n Lots of handhelds (and phones) can already emulate the DS, but they often put the top and bottom screens side by side or let you switch between looking at the top or bottom at any given time. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n If you\u2019re interested in the Ayaneo Flip DS, know that it\u2019s likely going to take a convoluted path to market. Not only does Ayaneo crowdfund all its products, but it also tends to trickle out details as slowly as it possibly can ahead of their Indiegogo debut. The company also announces new designs faster than it can ship them \u2014 by the time I\u2019ve received one of the company\u2019s products for testing, it\u2019s almost always already moved on to a newer, more desirable model. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
