Anbernic shared a new video of its upcoming dual-screen handheld it announced last week showing the device playing 3DS, Xbox, and PS3 games through emulation. While competitors like Ayaneo have been making dual-screen handhelds for a few years, Anbernic only recently introduced its own dual-screen devices including the RG DS and RG DS Plus. Those handhelds are designed to be modern replacements for the Nintendo DS, but the new RG DDS, short for “Dream Dual Screen,” has a faster processor and displays with aspect ratios optimized to replace the Nintendo 3DS — although Anbernic isn’t trying to recreate the glasses-free 3D effect.
Full performance details aren’t yet known, and Anbernic has yet to reveal the RG DDS’ price or how aggressively it plans to compete with devices like the Ayaneo Pocket DS which currently starts at $579. Both the Anbernic RG DS and DS Plus start at under $100.
