The handheld maker is offering free exchanges for any Duo Lite customers who want to upgrade.

If the Retroid Pocket Duo is too big and the Duo Lite isn't powerful enough, the handheld maker has introduced a variant of its Nintendo DS remake that might be just right. Retroid Pocket abruptly announced that a new model called the Duo Lite Plus is available for preorder, more than a week after launching orders for its Duo and Duo Lite earlier this month.

Retroid Pocket priced the Duo Lite Plus at $219 for preorders, but is offering a $20 discount to $199 with an early bird discount code, with shipments expected to start in mid-November.
