Anbernic RG34XX Review: Nostalgia Machine

23 years later, we have an updated version of the Game Boy Advance — just not from Nintendo. The Anbernic RG34XX is basically one of their standard budget retro handhelds, but with an exciting twist: it’s using nearly a one-for-one replica of the beloved GBA’s shell. In this video we’ll do a deep-dive to see if it’s worth your consideration as either a GBA-centric device or just an everyday all-around retro handheld.

Sale goes live on December 16th at 5am EST, it will appear as “sold out” until then.

This was a review unit sent to me by the manufacturer. All opinions are my own, they did not see this review ahead of time, and no money was exchanged in any way.
