  • About the product:
    • The Anbernic RG35XXSP or RG35XX SP, ANBERNIC's first clamshell handheld, closely resembles the classic Game Boy Advance SP and can emulate consoles such as NES, SNES, Mega Drive, Game Boy, PS1, N64, Dreamcast, and some PSP games. Despite being slightly larger in thickness and weight, the RG35XXSP is almost identical in size and buttons to the classic Gameboy Advance SP design. It offers similar specs to Anbernic's recent RG35XX Plus and RG35XX H models, including a 3.5-inch IPS screen with a 640 x 480 resolution, Allwinner H700 chipset, Dual-core G31 MP2 GPU, and 1GB of LPDDR4 RAM, in addition to a 3300mAh battery supporting an autonomy of up to 8 hours. This makes it powerful enough to emulate titles from 5th and 6th generation consoles like the SEGA Dreamcast (performance may vary per title) and Sony PlayStation.

Go on Aliexpress and you can get the 128gb version for less than this. There is a coupon link at the top of listing. I used an $8 off $60 purchase, for a total of $56.20 for the 128gb version with free shipping.

Make sure to make a backup image of the microsd when you get it as these no name cards have a high rate of failures.

Can't post Aliexpress link as SD will delete post.

I understand the nostalgia of the original GBA. The form factor, plugging in the carts... it's all great. EXCEPT the original GBA screen. It was HORRIBLE. You had to have just the right amount of ambient light, too much (like being outside) and the glare washed out the screen, too little and you couldn't see anything. To play in low level light you needed a third party light that plugged into the port on the top of the GBA, which meant angling the GBA just right so you didn't have light glare AND the light head wasn't in the way. The AGS-001 SP was slightly better as it had a backlight, but playing outside was still difficult, and the battery didn't last nearly as long as desired for daytrip car rides. Night play was better though. The AGS-101 has an updated, better screen. But you will be hard pressed to find one of those in good condition anywhere near $80.

These Anbernic emulators don't have the same nostalgia, but the screens are FAR nicer, the battery lasts way longer, and you can carry all your "backups" on one SDC card. I originally got the Powkiddy V30 for my son as a really cheap gaming option, but found myself envious so I bought the original Anbernic RG35XX for myself. Since then, I haven't even once been tempted to break out my GBA.

Check r/SBCGaming on Reddit.

There's a lot of devices out there and one gets release almost every month. But this looks like a decent one for GBA and older Nintendo games. I believe it can also do N64, PSP and maybe up to​ PS1 and NDS (switching screens). There are a few Youtube videos that will give you a better idea.

My son got one of these, was delivered this week. Was ready to go out of the box and it's really nice. For $60, a no-brainer. Ordered one for myself.

Just got mine on Wednesday, I would say it's definitely worth it if you like the form factor. It's a tiny bit cramped, but the cool/ nostalgia element of it makes up for it. It comes pre loaded with a lot of games too, which is a plus.

I'm tempted. For anyone who has this or the other models made by ANBERNIC, did you keep the SD (TF??) card that it came with or swap it out? I'm not too familiar with handhelds beyond a Steam deck and I'm torn between ordering this to play out of the box or have to buy SD cards and then try and figure out what to do.

Backup the sd card day one and then you can go from there. Recommend getting a name brand card for long term. As long as you have it backed up, you'll be good.

Bought it and it's a lot of nostalgic fun though it can cramp my average hands. Replicates the old Gameboy SP feeling well. For the price, it was well worth the impulse buy.

I have one purchased from ambernic direct the day of release. I love it for replaying all the GBA games I grew up on. If you liked the feel of GBA SP this will feel very much the same.

This deal saves you the cost of shipping which was $12 for me to NY.

Currently playing Pokemon Unbound on it daily.
