Can the Anbernic RG 55G1 Run Nintendo 3DS?
Yes, with minor compromises. The Anbernic RG 55G1 handles Nintendo 3DS well — most games run at full speed, and only the heaviest titles like The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D and Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate may need light frameskip or a small resolution drop. Lighter games such as Pokémon X and Super Mario 3D Land are no trouble.
B+Yes — with minor compromisesOur Nintendo 3DS rating for the Anbernic RG 55G1: grade B+ — Great — minor frameskip
