f you want a dedicated machine for dual-screen retro gaming without hunting down tired second-hand hardware, the entry barrier just dropped. ANBERNIC has officially priced its new ANBERNIC RG DS Plus at $94.99, managing to slide a dual-screen portable comfortably under the hundred-dollar mark.
Buyers who jump in early can shave that figure down a bit further. If you pre-order through ANBERNIC's official website, the price drops to $84.99.
The ANBERNIC RG DS Plus carries a retail price of $94.99, a sub-$100 price tag that easily undercuts the usual enthusiast tax for multi-screen hardware.
That ten-dollar discount makes the financial risk remarkably low for anyone curious about playing classic two-screen titles without rewriting their monthly budget.
Launch Timing and Ergonomics
The console officially goes on sale on September 15 at 03:00 AM PDT, arriving in three distinct colorways: Coral Pink, Matte Black, and Metallic Blue. Thankfully, ANBERNIC isn't charging an aesthetic tax here—every finish costs the exact same amount, so you won't pay extra just because you prefer blue over black.
Shipping logistics are similarly painless, with options to dispatch from warehouses in China or the USA. Choosing domestic shipping should spare local buyers the usual agonizing multi-week customs wait.
Bringing back a two-screen clamshell design taps directly into the wider retro-gaming obsession with multi-screen portables, but for the average buyer, the real question is how it actually feels in your hands compared to standard single-screen slabs. At $84.99 for early birds and $94.99 at full retail, ANBERNIC is betting that a cheap dual-screen novelty will hook players who refused to overpay for premium alternatives. When orders open on September 15, we will find out if this budget experiment actually delivers or if you are just paying for two plastic-bound screens that collect dust in your drawer.
