The Atari Gamestation Go, first known as the Gamestation Portable at CES 2024, is still a few months away from release. Back at CES 2025 in January we got a look at the updated design of the handheld, but My Arcade wasn't done. I've been fortunate to get my hands on a new build of the unit and I want to highlight one very notable but easy-to-miss improvement that's been implemented since our last look. #atari #retrogaming #handheld #genxgrownup @MyArcaderetro - SHOP http://genxgrownup.com/amazon http://GenXGrownUp.com/merch - PODCAST http://GenXGrownUp.com/pod - SUPPORT US https://patreon.com/genxgrownup - WEB & SOCIAL http://GenXGrownUp.com/discord https://twitch.tv/genxgrownup http://fb.me/GenXGrownUp https://bsky.app/profile/genxgrownup.com https://www.tiktok.com/@genxgrownup https://www.instagram.com/genxgrownup/ http://GenXGrownUp.com - SPONSORS King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com
