TL;DR
  • ANBERNIC has unveiled the RG DDS, a new dual-screen handheld designed in the style of the Nintendo 3DS.
  • It pairs the nostalgic design with powerful modern hardware, a built-in stylus, and a dedicated AI button.
  • The RG DDS comes in three colors, but pricing and availability haven’t been announced yet.

Nintendo may have moved on from the 3DS, but many of us still find something appealing about flipping open a handheld with two screens. ANBERNIC certainly seems to agree. The company has just unveiled the RG DDS, a flagship clamshell gaming console that looks remarkably like Nintendo’s old portable, right down to the stylus. It’s also got some thoroughly modern touches, including a dedicated AI button.

ANBERNIC showed off the RG DDS in a new YouTube video, with plenty of attention given to its two custom IPS displays. The top screen measures 4.7 inches with a 5:3 aspect ratio and a 1,200 x 720 resolution, while the bottom screen is a 4-inch, 4:3 panel with a 960 x 720 resolution. According to a specs breakdown shared by @forthenextlive on X, the screens support 3x integer scaling for 3DS games, allowing them to look sharper than they did on Nintendo’s original hardware.
