Miss the GBA SP? This new handheld will fill the clamshell-shaped void
Perfect integer scaling, added sticks, and a nostalgic clamshell design.
- Anbernic announced the RG 34XXSP, a new handheld inspired by the Game Boy Advance SP.
- A follow-up to the RG 35XXSP, it now has sticks and perfect 3x integer scaling for GBA games.
- No word on pricing yet, but tariffs may prevent retro gamers in the US from buying it.
Anbernic has been mostly quiet this year, with only one new retro gaming handheld so far in the powerful RG 557. Today, the company announced the Linux-based RG 34XXSP, a Game Boy Advance SP clone with a few significant upgrades from its predecessor.
The video above is all the information we have so far, but judging by the name, it’s a clamshell version of the RG 34XX from last year. That device was the spitting image of a classic Game Boy Advance, with a 3:2 screen that enables perfect 3x integer scaling for GBA games. The RG 34XXSP will use the same screen and will likely use the same H700 chipset.
