ANBERNIC’s Latest Nintendo 3DS Clone May Come with a Surprising Price Tag

- Recent AliExpress information hints that the ANBERNIC RG DDS might retail for $300 to $365, significantly exceeding the previously hoped-for price of under $250 for a device reminiscent of the Nintendo 3DS.
- Pre-orders are set to potentially launch on October 16, including a $15 discount, with shipping commencing on December 10, 2026.
- ANBERNIC has released official video content demonstrating a range of 3DS games running at resolutions up to five times higher, as well as titles from Wii U, PS3, Xbox, and Android platforms.
Following a recent showcase, ANBERNIC is preparing for the official release of its dual-screen clamshell emulator, the RG DDS, aimed at delivering a premium experience for Nintendo 3DS enthusiasts. However, prospective buyers may need to budget more than they initially planned, as new pricing information has emerged ahead of schedule.
A Reddit user discovered an unlisted page on ANBERNIC’s AliExpress profile, revealing a price range for the RG DDS between $300 and $365, depending on factors such as regional currency conversions and specific configurations. This pricing is considerably higher than the community’s expectation for a more affordable sub-$250 option, positioning the clamshell device close to powerful competitors like the AYN Thor Base.
