  • Retroid made a cryptic post linking to a song titled “Two Heads Are Better Than One.”
  • Fans have been clamoring for a dual-screened handheld for years, and this might finally be it.
  • Recent releases like the Pocket Flip 2 have proven there’s interest in unique form factors.

Earlier today we got our first look at ANBERNIC’s Xperia Play-like sliding handheld the RG Slide, but Retroid has now swooped in to steal the limelight with a single cryptic post linking to a song from Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure. The title of that song is “Two Heads Are Better Than One,” and fans are taking that to mean there’s finally a dual-screen device on the horizon.

Fans have been begging for a dual-screen device that can comfortably play Nintendo DS and 3DS games for years. The closest that’s been available so far is the AYANEO Flip DS, but that’s a costly Windows-based machine. The upcoming MagicX Zero 40 takes another approach with a very tall screen, but it just doesn’t hit the same as an actual dual-screen device. The Surface Duo 2 would be another alternative if it weren’t, well, the Surface Duo 2.
