Episode description

Episode 197

Though dedicated handheld consoles are becoming a relic of a bygone era, today we take a nostalgia-fueled look back at our favorite handhelds and handheld games. We also discuss retro emulation hardware and how these consoles are keeping the dedicated handheld dream alive. As always, we conclude with the games we're playing (Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, Marvel's Spider-Man 2). This episode was recorded in February 2025. Intro and outro music composed for Gametalk by Dylan Chase (dylan.robert.chase@gmail.com).
