Initially I hadn’t reviewed the Anbernic RG406V because I was thinking it was more of the same after last years RG405V. I was wrong and I apologize for not reviewing this handhelds sooner. It really is the PEAK of Vertical Handheld Emulators. Anbernic took the crazy Big Boy design from last year, tweaked it ever so slightly based on feedback and the put a more powerful SOC under the hood. I thought the RG405V was good at emulating GameCube. The RG406V takes those same games I was emulating and opened up more upscalling along with higher frame rates. Truly a thing of beauty.
