(Image credit: Future / Phil Hayton) I didn’t originally peg the Anbernic RG Cube as a replacement for my Nintendo DS. But, after spending a few weeks using the handheld, it’s now my go-to device for emulating retro dual-screen outings. My only usual gripe with the system is that it’s a bit pricey, but thanks to Black Friday, it’s wearing a more approachable price tag. At Amazon, the system is downto $173.79from $206.99. The retailer hasn’t typically knocked much off thisbest gaming handheldcontender since its release, so I’m pretty thrilled to see it matching some of my other budget storefronts like Geekbuying. You will need a Prime membership for this offer on theAnbernic RG Cube, though, so make sure tograb a free trialor log in. It’s worth pointing out that the Anbernic RG Cube now has a lower-spec sibling dubbed the RG CubeXX. The other handheld is also downto $75.99from $94.99, but it’s missing things like a touchscreen and uses a custom Linux OS rather than Android. Still a solid option for retro shenanigans with a perfectly square screen, but make sure not to get muddled between models if you want to run DS games.

While it’s certainly not the first portable console to arrive with hall-effect joysticks, a punchy quad-core APU, and full Android 13 compatibility, it does manage to blend portable PC sensibilities with retro vibes to make something truly special. Now, let’s talk about DS games, as that square screen is reason dual-screen emulation works so well on the handheld. I first realized just how annoying playing the old handheld’s games is when reviewing theAyaneo Flip DS. That powerhouse PC is a natural winner when it comes to 3DS releases due to its beefy specs and its double display clamshell design, but DS screens are stuck in a single box using apps like DeSuMe on Windows 11. Argh. Image1of2(Image credit: Future / Phil Hayton)(Image credit: Future / Phil Hayton) Image1of2(Image credit: Future / Phil Hayton)(Image credit: Future / Phil Hayton) Image1of2 (Image credit: Future / Phil Hayton)(Image credit: Future / Phil Hayton) (Image credit: Future / Phil Hayton)(Image credit: Future / Phil Hayton) (Image credit: Future / Phil Hayton) (Image credit: Future / Phil Hayton) (Image credit: Future / Phil Hayton) (Image credit: Future / Phil Hayton) (Image credit: Future / Phil Hayton) (Image credit: Future / Phil Hayton) (Image credit: Future / Phil Hayton) (Image credit: Future / Phil Hayton) (Image credit: Future / Phil Hayton) (Image credit: Future / Phil Hayton) That quirk means you’ll want to use a singular touchscreen for playing DS games, and the RG Cube’s square panel provides more vertical space. the result is a handheld that can squeeze dual screens onto a display without leaving lots of redundant black letterboxing. Sure, you could just stick the same emulation window on the middle of aSteam Deck OLEDif you have one, but if you’re looking for a cheaper way to re-play DS classics and retain touch functionality, Anbernic’s handheld is ideal. Sign up to the GamesRadar+ Newsletter Weekly digests, tales from the communities you love, and more The cons here are that the screen is only 3.95-inch, meaning your playspace is more cramped compared to an OG Nintendo DS. I’ve not had much of an issue using my finger with the bottom section in most games, even with outings like Zelda: Phantom Hourglass and its reliance on touch controls. That said, there might be some releases out there that benefit from pinpoint stylus accuracy, which may benefit from a capacitive pen (you can grab onefor $7.99at Amazon.) Another thing to consider is how much you want to emulate DS games versus otherretro consoles. Those of you with a big SNES,SegaGenesis/Mega Drive, or even OG PlayStation collection, might prefer a handheld that has a 3:4 screen, even though the RG Cube comes with some excellent themed overlays that I’d argue add to the nostalgic experience. If you’re for top-end performance in more demanding systems, you’ll also want to look for something much beefier, as while Anbernic’s console is armed with 8GB RAM and that Quad-core Mali-G57 chip, PS2 and Dreamcast milage may vary.

Being able to grab one for well under $200 might distract some of you fromBlack Friday Steam Deck deals, and I do think there’s a place for this handheld and a portable PC in many player’s backpacks.
