TL;DR
- ANBERNIC has announced two new handhelds: The RG VITA and the RG VITA Pro.
- The design is heavily inspired by the Sony PS Vita, but with Nintendo buttons.
- This will likely compete with more traditional 16:9 handhelds from Retroid, AYN, and AYANEO.
ANBERNIC might have had a slower 2025, but the company has come into 2026 swinging with an announcement for two upcoming handhelds. Unlike the company’s recent releases, it loses the retro aspect ratio and targets a far more modern design.
The ANBERNIC RG VITA and RG VITA Pro are clearly inspired by Sony’s last true gaming handheld, the PS Vita. They have the same widescreen format, shoulder button cutout, and an all-glass front with connected control bubbles.
