Anbernic has had a pretty subdued beginning to this month, at least when we look at their usual pace. To summarize, their most recent launch was the RG406V, which is currently priced at $234.98 on Amazon and came out in the middle of September. Since then, there have been numerous whispers about new products from Anbernic, including new wireless controllers, the RG408, RG406P, or even a variation of the RG Cube.
Exciting Announcements
Now, at least two of these products have become official. Anbernic has recently introduced a new version of the RG Cube and a new set of wireless controllers. It's important to note that, for the time being, they have only provided information on the RG Cube. The wireless controllers can be seen around 3:30 in the video shared below, and they closely resemble the 8BitDo's Ultimate 2C, aligning with recent leaks.
Specifications and Features
According to Anbernic's description linked to the same video, it appears that the RG CubeXX Classic might actually share more features with the latest RG35XX series than its predecessor. While this has not been officially confirmed, the indication that the RG CubeXX Classic will be capable of emulating Dreamcast, N64, and PS1 games suggests that it will utilize the same Allwinner H700 chipset as the RG35XX SP. In contrast, Anbernic has chosen to include a 3.95-inch square display with a 720p resolution and a 1:1 aspect ratio. Additionally, the RG CubeXX Classic will feature 5 GHz Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.2, RGB lighting around its joysticks, and HDMI output. Although Anbernic has yet to disclose pricing or when it will be available, we believe more information will be shared later this month.
