Ayaneo Officially Unveils AIR Mini IGS Limited Edition, Debuts New Retro Handheld

During its product sharing session held yesterday (May 21), Ayaneo made several announcements about its future and current products. The company introduced a limited-edition version of its Pocket AIR Mini in collaboration with IGS and Arcade Home. The main attraction point is that it features officially licensed retro arcade content and a themed design inspired by classic arcade machines. The handheld keeps the same compact 4.2-inch 4:3 display, is powered by the MediaTek Helio G90T and is equipped with Hall-effect joysticks and triggers alongside a 4,500 mAh battery. The device runs Ayaneo's own software ecosystem and comes preloaded with licensed IGS arcade titles, including Knights of Valour and Oriental Legend, alongside a built-in emulator. Two configurations are offered: 2 GB + 32 GB for $129.99 and 3 GB + 64 GB for $139.99.

Ayaneo sub-brand Konkr is also developing the Pocket Block, a vertical-format Android handheld with AI-focused features and a compact design inspired by Game Boy. The product is intended to blend retro handheld ergonomics with modern gaming capabilities.
