Anbernic’s RG Rotate seems to be coming relatively soon, with what I’m assuming is the final promotional video for the handheld revealing a full spec sheet and unboxing experience. According to Retro Dodo, the black model will be made mostly of plastic and priced at $88 with the silver, all-aluminum model at $108. Both models will launch on May 11th with early-bird pricing set at $82.99 and $99.99 respectively.

This pushes the device into a realm where GameCube, PS2, and Wii games are technically playable, although the choice to omit analog sticks along with such a low battery capacity sure does make that power seem unnecessary. I’m baffled by Anbernic’s decision to show off the Rotate playing 16:9 games like God of War and Cuphead squished down into the 1:1 aspect ratio in the first place instead of leaning further into the strengths of this…
