Retroid announces clip-on screen for Pocket 5
Retroid have announced an attachable screen accessory, designed for the Pocket 5! This comes after days of hints, some of which were believed to indicate a dual-screen handheld. So far, it looks like the screen will come with a clip to attach to the RP5, also supporting the official grip. In addition, it will use USB-C, implying it will work with pretty much anything!

ABXYlute announces Switch 2 accessories coming soon
Streaming handheld creators ABXYlute have announced a handful of accessories for the Switch 2 which are coming soon. The NS6 appears to be a slide-in controller (similar to the CRKD Nitro Deck) modelled on the ABXYlute One Pro handheld itself. The NS9 looks like a controller-shaped, lightweight slide-in controller, whereas the S6 looks to be a wireless iteration of the S9 telescopic controller, with a few changes other changes. The S6 in particular appears to be a universal controller, as it lacks the “NS” branding.
No Hall sticks for Switch 2 JoyCons (2 minute video)
iFixit have uploaded a disassembly video of the Nintendo Switch 2 Joycons, showing that they are not only very difficult to take apart, but that they utilise the same potentiometer-based analog sticks as the original Switch. It remains to be seen whether the Switch 2 will suffer the same stick drift problems as the original device.
Mario Kart World has 24-player LAN races
An X user has revealed that 24-player LAN races are accessible in Mario Kart World by holding the left and right shoulder buttons and clicking in the left stick on the main menu. This is a returning feature from Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
The input code for LAN Mode in Mario Kart World is the same as 8 Deluxe. On the main menu, hold L+R (Not ZL/ZR) & Click in the left stick! Connect the consoles to same access point like a router (wired/wireless) to get a full 24 player LAN Party, unlike wireless play's max of 8.
