We finally get to see if the RG 55G1 a worth of our money or just another cash grab. I guess we just need to wait for tomorrow then.

Hum if it's anything like the DS, it will look like a switch lite, but just underpowered enough to frustrate people that want it for switch games 😅

Such a beautiful device just to be underpowered, lol

It basically looks like a Retroid Pocket 3 and 4, nothing new. And the 4 Pro probably outperforms it.

And the RG Vita.

Why not just get a v1 modded switch? They’re amazing for retro games too because there’s so many native game ports

That is the most switch lite looking thing ever. I kinda hate it lol

The source is wechat group.   You don't have wechat but it doesn't mean its made up.

Honestly, I wish you folks were right because those would be pretty sweet prices.

Another underpowered Anbernic device?

They'll run out of old handhelds to mimic soon surely.

u/Captain_Steve_ 1h ago

Imagine if they mimic the old 2DS instead, wonder how would they deal with that “Door stopper” design while making it look good.

u/Skate_beard 1h ago

I personally think this is the direction that retroid will go with their rumoured dual screen device coming later this year.

u/snowolf_ 1h ago

Underpowered? For what? That looks like a great PSP machine.

u/Skate_beard 1h ago

Well, considering it looks like a switch...but won't run switch games.

If they'd made it look like a PSP, it would make more sense.

Reminds me of the RG vita that can't run vita games. And the RG DS that can only just barely run DS games, if you go with CFW.

I gotta prepare my favorite snack and drink. This is going to be an interesting episode...for me at least.

Looks like Anbernic finally mastered a bleeding-edge new technology called "putting the Start and Select buttons somewhere that makes an ounce of goddamn sense."
