EXP-R Solo, Portable Retro Gaming Console

The EXP-R Solo is a portable retro gaming handheld from Evercade that includes the console hardware on its own, letting you build a library of physical games from the cartridge range. It plays every game in the library, giving access to more than 60 physical collections and over 600 arcade, console, and home computer games, sold separately, so you can take decades of classic gaming wherever you go. It features an 800 x 480 high-resolution IPS screen for wide viewing angles and sharp image quality, along with TATE mode, which uses dedicated buttons to make vertical-screen play comfortable for arcade games designed for that orientation. Built-in Wi-Fi allows easy firmware updates. A built-in rechargeable battery delivers around four to five hours of play per charge and recharges over USB-C, and the light, compact design makes it easy to carry on commutes and trips. It comes in a retro-inspired design with a light grey casing and dark grey and red accents. Note that this is a handheld-only system and does not connect to a TV. It is a great fit for players who want a dedicated retro handheld, collectors who already own cartridges and want a portable way to play them, and gift shoppers looking for a device that grows with the recipient's interests. Save states let you pause a game and pick it back up later without losing progress, which suits short sessions on the go. Because the console ships without a game, you can start with exactly the collections you want. For anyone who prefers physical media and portable play, the EXP-R Solo is a simple way to carry a growing retro library in one lightweight device.
