Anbernic RG556 Anbernic: the all-purpose machine of video games past, present and future
The Anbernic RG556 Android console is a portable console that doesn't go unnoticed. Generously sized and stylish, it makes a statement with its wide 16:9 AMOLED screen.
With its modern features, it positions itself as an ideal all-in-one machine for fans of 2D and 3D retro gaming. But what about the gaming experience and capabilities offered by this genius?
RG556: a portable Android console that succeeds in both form and content
At first glance, the Anbernic RG556 Android Console impresses with its premium look. Even though the shell is made more of plastic than metal like the very elegant RG405M, the console gives off a sense of confidence and solidity, making it definitely worth its price and more.
The grips on the back of the RG556 are comfortable, while the rubber buttons feel great. The triggers (R1/L1 and R2/L2) are well-balanced, and the D-pad, which is slightly larger than usual, offers increased comfort. Playing for hours is no problem. The only thing we miss is the lack of a non-slip surface on the back of the console, something the manufacturer has already accustomed us to on other models.
A nice aesthetic bonus that will delight fans of gaming setups and RGB lighting: the two joysticks are enhanced with dynamic lighting, bringing a futuristic and fun touch during use.
Form is great, but how does this console perform in-game? It's simple: the RG556 can do almost anything, and is capable of faithfully reproducing second-generation 3D consoles such as the PS2 and NGC. That's more than 30 consoles, arcade systems, and even microcomputers, that rocked your best gaming years, from the 80s to the 2000s. An invaluable portal to travel back in time!
The RG556 console's strong point: a widescreen display that enhances your memories
The RG 556 has a very pleasant 16:9 screen: AMOLED technology, the same as that found in high-end mobile phones, provides unparalleled contrast and black depth, which allows for vibrant colors and remarkable immersion.
It is particularly suitable for emulating portable consoles with 16:9 screens, such as the PSP or PS VITA. It is also ideal for consoles with square screens, such as the NDS. Its generous format offers a large display area that allows you to display the two DS screens side by side, left and right, and to take advantage of touch functions more comfortably than on most emulator consoles.
RG556: a premium and comfortable console for retrogaming but not only
In addition to emulation, the RG556 can access the latest apps and updates thanks to Android. Netflix, Prime Video, Crunchyroll, everything is accessible. Video game streaming services are also within reach.
Many smart gamers find it more interesting to acquire an RG 556 to play their PS5 games locally on a portable device, and benefit from a range of additional functions, rather than acquiring an expensive Playstation Portal which is limited to a single function.
Finally, the gaming of the future is not left out: with cloud gaming enabled by the PS5 subscription or Xbox Game Pass, it is possible to play the most technologically advanced games on any phone or connected device, as long as the internet connection is of sufficient quality. In short: no need for an Xbox to play Forza, Halo or Destiny on RG 556!
The RG556 is already a must-have for the most demanding retro gamers
The RG556 is a scalable console: Android greatly simplifies the installation of new emulators if necessary, as well as updates, customizing menus, the interface, etc.
The RG556 Anbernic hits the top of the retro gaming ladder, while maintaining an affordable price. Whether you're nostalgic for 2D games or want to relive the best 3D moments of the 2000s, this console will certainly seduce you. So, get ready to dive into the retro universe in style! 🎮🕹️✨
