This cheap Android handheld puts PS2 and Wii games in your pocket

[phillynews215]

• The Anbernic RG 406H is the latest in the company’s huge catalog of Android-based handhelds.
• It features a 4-inch 3:4 LCD display and enough power to emulate games from the PS2, Wii, and Gamecube.
• The device is available for preorder today with a $10 discount for a limited time.

It’s easy to get lost in Anbernic’s enormous lineup of Android-based handheld gaming devices, but the latest might be the best the company has ever made. The Anbernic RG 406H is a horizontal handheld with a 4-inch 4:3 LCD display at 960×720. It’s essentially a slightly wider version of the Anbernic RG Cube released earlier this year.

The RG 406H has the Unisoc T820 chipset and 8GB of RAM, which should be powerful enough to play games up to and including the PS2 and Gamecube eras, with some Wii games also playable. Check out some gameplay footage from Anbernic above to see the results directly from the company, but at the end of the day this is a budget chipset, so temper your expectations. It’s the same chipset used by many Anbernic devices this year, most of which have struggled to play more demanding titles from those consoles at full speed.
