Anbernic RG Rotate: rotating screen and PS2 emulation in a handheld format

Published on April 28, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

The new Anbernic RG Rotate arrives on the market with a proposal that combines retro design and current technology. Its 3.5-inch screen with 720x720 resolution can rotate, adapting to different aspect ratios using side bands. The device runs Android and promises to smoothly emulate PS2 and Wii titles, in addition to supporting more than 20 formats such as NGC, 3DS, PSP, DC, SS, PS1, NDS, and N64.

An Android system that hides power in a compact body 🎮

Under its shell, the RG Rotate uses a processor that allows moving complete catalogs of sixth and seventh generation consoles. The rotating screen is not just for show: it serves to emulate systems with dual screens like NDS or 3DS, showing each panel in vertical orientation. Additionally, it includes Bluetooth connectivity for controllers and HDMI output to Smart TV, making it a home console when connected. The multiplayer mode allows local games with up to four controllers.

Spin, spin, the battery lasts a while 🔋

The rotating function is ideal for showing off on the bus while playing God of War on PS2. But be careful, because if you decide to emulate Wii and also connect the console to the TV, the battery drains faster than the owner of a used game store. That said, you can justify the 10-minute walk with the controller in hand by saying you're exercising, just like with the original Wii.
