ANBERNIC’s new Nintendo 3DS lookalike might cost more than expected
If the leak pans out, the RG DDS could compete against the likes of the AYN Thor, and that might be a hard sell.
Credit: YouTube TL;DR Leaked AliExpress listings have revealed that the ANBERNIC RG DDS, a Nintendo 3DS lookalike emulator, might come with a price tag of $300 to $365. This is significantly higher than the community's expectations for a sub-$250 device. Pre-sales for the RG DDS could commence on October 16, 2026, with a $15 discount, and shipping is expected to begin on December 10, 2026.
In addition to 3DS titles, the emulator supports Wii U, PS3, Xbox, and Android games. Following their teaser last week, ANBERNIC is now preparing for the official launch of the RG DDS, a high-end dual-screen clamshell emulator. However, potential buyers should be prepared to invest more than they initially anticipated, as the pricing details have emerged earlier than expected.
Reddit user landblord discovered an unlisted page on ANBERNIC's AliExpress store profile, which suggests that the RG DDS could be priced between $300 and $365, depending on regional variations and configurations. This price range is well above the community's hopes for a budget-friendly sub-$250 alternative, placing the clamshell emulator in competition with more expensive options like the AYN Thor Base.
