RKConsole launched the 'RK2020,' a handheld gaming device with a miniature design. The device features enough processing power to run retro titles from the 8-bit, 16-bit, and even early 3D gaming era, including [Nintendo 64](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rgb30) and [Sega](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rg353ps) [Dreamcast](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rg35xx) devices. The face of the RK2020 hosts each of the necessary controller buttons, though it only features a single joystick, with the second joystick being removed to save space, weight, and price.

The RK2020 retails for only $64.99 USD and comes with a customized operating system. Essentially, the RK2020 comes out of the box with an organized operating system that sorts games by category, era, and original console. In terms of its interface options, the RK2020 has an audio jack, and micro SD card slot.
