The BEST Retro Handhelds for Every Budget (2025 Gift Guide)

Stubbs and Ban (along with cameos from Zu, Andrew, Rob and Todd) get together for a bonus episode of the Retro Handhelds Podcast this week to chat about both *their* favorite handhelds of 2025, and yours, based on our ongoing community wide survey (vote below, there's still time!). Collectively and objectively, we find out what the best options are for your budget. We also give our recommendations for controllers and other gift ideas for cool tech that has brought us joy in 2025. 👉Handhelds of the Year Survey: https://rh-go.link/HOTY-2025 🛍️Product Links for this video and Our Companion Article: https://retrohandhelds.gg/the-best-handhelds-at-each-price-point-as-decided-by-you/ 🛍️Our Holiday Deal Picks: https://retrohandhelds.gg/cyber-monday-2025 Other things featured: 🛍️LuluLook Gaming Pillow Stands: https://rh-go.link/Gaming-Pillow-Stand-LULULOOK_Amzn 🛍️Viture Luma XR Glasses + Accessories: https://rh-go.link/Viture_Amzn 🛍️JSAUX Accessories: https://rh-go.link/JSAUX_Amzn AliExpress Codes: https://rh-go.link/AliExpress $3 off $29: STUBBS3 $6 off $59: STUBBS6 $9 off $89: STUBBS9 $16 off $149: STUBBS16 $23 off $199: STUBBS23 $30 off $269: STUBBS30 $40 off $369: STUBBS40 $50 off $469: STUBBS50 $60 off $599: STUBBS60A $70 off $699: STUBBS70A 🔎Browse our curated weekly deals: https://rh-go.link/DILLS ✨Became a Member or Patron👇 🌐All Our Links: https://rh-go.link 👕RH Merch: https://rh-go.link/MERCH 💻RH Handhelds Database: https://handhelds.wtf ~Listen to the audio version wherever you get your podcasts~ Timestamps: 0:00 -We’re Live! 2:01 - What are We Doing!? 4:35 - Getting into the Article (Sub $50) 19:19 - $50-$100 36:01 - $100-$150 55:30 - $150-$200 1:02:39 - $200-$300 1:11:21 - $300-$500 1:26:00 - $500-$1000 1:41:58 - Tech for the Year 1:58:18 - Last Minute Handhelds Panel: @StubbsStuff @ban6756 @ToddTronics @ZuReviewsRH @Bearded-Retro-Rewind @retrotechdad 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 🎵 Music by Jim Gray (https://ourghosts.bandcamp.com) and SoundStripe 🎞️Production by Gotanks ⚠️ Disclaimer This description contains affiliate links.
