Anbernic is keeping the RG SP under wraps, but they certainly aren’t shy about showing it off. While everyone else is hyped for the Retroid Pocket Nova, a fresh gameplay video just dropped, proving the RG SP is ready to play nice with some serious retro titles.
The showcase is a solid five minutes of pure nostalgia and performance proof. We see the device running classics like The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap and Pokémon Emerald without breaking a sweat. But the real test? Heavier hitters. Anbernic demonstrates smooth performance with Soul Calibur on Dreamcast and Harvest Moon DS: Grand Bazaar. It even handles the Stardew Valley port seamlessly.
Why does this matter? Because the RG SP runs on the Allwinner H700 chip, the same powerhouse that defined 2024 handhelds. This is huge news for modders, suggesting community firmware like muOS and KNULLI will likely support it soon.
There’s a weird moment where Cuphead is streamed from a PC, which raises eyebrows about Linux-based handheld streaming habits, but it’s a cool tech flex. The big question remains: when and how much? With two videos in a week, release details can’t be far away. Keep your fingers crossed.
