The Anbernic RG34XX is a very charming GBA clone.

It has all of the weird design imperfections, squishy buttons, and chonky shape that you remember. Without a doubt, this is the most nostalgic retro handheld I've ever played...

But where it excels in nostalgia, it falls short in versatility and performance. The RG34XX is literally a clone console with an Anbernic chipset. It can play everything until around PS1-era, with some DS games in the mix. But the controls and 3:2 screen ratio are not ideal for most non-nintendo consoles.

But that leaves us with one question: Is the RG 34XX the "Final Boss" of GBA clones?
