Key Takeaways
1. Anbernic’s upcoming RG476H is expected to be priced between $149.99 and $164.99 after a 72-hour early bird offer.
2. An official unboxing video for the RG476H has been released, indicating that a product launch is imminent.
3. Pre-orders for the RG476H may begin by the end of this week.
4. The RG476H is rumored to have good controls, a comfortable design, and a high-quality display, but joystick placement may need improvement.
5. Emulation performance for Gamecube and PlayStation 2 games is currently not as strong as that of competing handheld devices.
The upcoming release of Anbernic’s new retro gaming handheld seems to be just around the bend. Officially, Anbernic hasn’t stated when the RG476H will hit the market or what its price will be. Nonetheless, Retro Dodo revealed last week that the starting price for the device is likely to be $149.99, which could go up to $164.99 after a 72-hour early bird offer.
Unboxing Video Released
Recently, Anbernic shared an official unboxing video for the RG476H, which we have included below. It is common for the company to release such videos only a few days before launching a product. For instance, Anbernic released a similar video for the RG35XX Pro just three days before its official release (currently priced at $64.99 on Amazon).
Pre-order Expectations
Because of this pattern, we believe that pre-orders for the RG476H could open up by the end of this week. In the meantime, Russ from Retro Game Corps has put out a video sharing his first impressions of the RG476H, giving retro handheld enthusiasts an early look at what to expect from Anbernic’s new product.
Performance Insights
On one hand, the RG476H is rumored to have good controls, a comfy design, and a top-notch display. On the flip side, the placement of Anbernic’s joysticks could be better. Additionally, the decision to use a full glass front means that the RG476H is likely to attract fingerprints easily. Unfortunately, the emulation performance for Gamecube and PlayStation 2 games isn’t as good as competing handhelds at this time.
