Community Reviews
The Anbernic RG CubeXX is a square-screen retro handheld that shines with Game Boy, Game Boy Color, vertical arcade shmups, and many 4:3 systems. The 3.95-inch 720 by 720 display can still produce a large image for most games, and the stock or modified firmware leaves decent bezels for unused space. It is also a bit more comfortable in the hand than very flat devices. The main tradeoffs are its niche aspect ratio for 16:9 and other widescreen content, plus average D-pad feel and awkward stick placement. It is a better fit if your library leans toward retro systems that suit a square screen.
Common Questions (4)
Yes. The square 1:1 screen suits Game Boy and Game Boy Color well, and it also works especially well for vertical arcade shmups. For many retro systems, 8:7 or other scaling modes can fill most of the display without looking awkward.
It is strong for 4:3 gameplay, but 16:9 content is less ideal on the square display. For non-widescreen games, you still get at least about a 3.5-inch image, while widescreen titles will need more compromise or larger black bars.
This deal is only about $10 off the regular price, and it was never $155. It is also similar to the Powkiddy RGB30, so the value depends on whether you want a square-screen handheld in that class.
The D-pad is only average, though it is among the better D-pads on cheaper RGXX devices. One unit also had a loose piece rolling inside after unboxing, and the stick placement is not ideal.

I can hear a piece rolling around inside it when I turn it over, not great to discover when I took it out of the box. I opened the case and it's something under the screen, maybe I'll bother to take more of it apart if it annoys me that much.
For me, the stick placement isn't great but it is fun to play with. I still prefer my RG40XXV.
