The Anbernic RG SP will be available on August 5
This modern-day Game Boy Advance SP remake starts at $65, but Anbernic is offering early bird pricing.
On August 5 at 6AM ET/3AM PT, Anbernic will begin accepting orders for its RG SP handheld console, which was previously unveiled without specifying pricing or release date. The price point of $65 for the base model is projected to be more affordable than Nintendo's original Game Boy Advance SP, launched in 2003. Early bird pricing may lower the initial cost.
The RG SP mirrors the GBA SP's display dimensions and incorporates a 3,300mAH battery capable of supplying six hours of gameplay. The device, powered by the H700 chip, will support emulation of games up to PSP level. Optional upgrades include a 64GB memory expansion for $80, and a 128GB option priced at $95. Anbernic is providing a $7 reduction for early purchasers who place their order within the first three days of the RG SP's availability. This is Anbernic's third iteration of recreating the iconic Game Boy Advance SP.
