@Razieluigi No, 4:3 screens are widely available. Not like 16:9 of course, but they are still mounted on many handhelds. Just check the Anbernic or Powkiddy pages to see many, even cheap, handhelds with that screen form factor. I get the point that with a 16:9 screen the Mega95 is a little bit cheaper, but it might be that they prefer to offer a bigger screen which looks more impressive, even though it would squeeze the game vertically, which is an insult to any retrogamer. And I fully agree with your comments about this handheld, I really can't think anyone who would enjoy this more than the average Chinese handheld.
I was about to get an old one for nostalgia, but now I'll be waiting for this one. And I'll finally be able to play IK+ properly again. But I just hope that it lasts for more than 10 minutes, unlike the original one.

I really don't see the point of having a 16:9 screen on a Mega Drive only device.
To be honest, I much prefer my Anbernic RG ARC-S over this.
