Powkiddy is back with its newest device, the RGB20SX! For all you Game Boy fans, it is a vertical device as well! It’s a brand new 3566 handheld with that 1:1 screen that made the RGB30 so enticing for many customers. It is said to be a combination of the RGB20S and the RGB30.

Powkiddy has had an interesting few months from their TikTok fame to the hit success of the RGB30. The newest device has four colorways so far shown. There is a white with black and indigo buttons, a dark blue with black buttons, a beige with tan buttons, and an orange/yellow with black buttons.

The RGB20SX has two analog sticks, non-stacked shoulder buttons, and a front-facing speaker. Will they come with the front animal sticker? That is yet to be seen. The biggest selling point for many people will be the 1:1 screen that made the RGB30 such a success. The screen size is great for those who are interested in playing Pico 8 or Game Boy games as they look fantastic!
With the RK3566 in tow, the RGB20SX will easily handle up to Nintendo DS. You’ll even be able to enjoy some N64 and PlayStation games before performance drops off with the Sega Saturn and higher . Even still, the inclusion of dual analog sticks paired with the vertical form factor will likely make for an incredible pairing.
There is no release date for the RGB20SX besides “coming soon”. What are your thoughts on the RGB20SX? Do you plan on getting one? Let us know in the comments or on our Discord!

Where’s my DMG colorway!
I already love this stupid thing, I just hope it isn’t too top heavy
Once again – why are you even mentioning gamecube in the same sentence as rk3566? This is why retrododo is a joke in the community.
Not sure if they have corrected the typo and updated the article or not, but they don’t actually mention the gamecube
While some of the colorways are new, the indigo and yellow ones are already options for the rgb30 too.
I wish they would get rid of the analogue sticks and the stupid smiley face buttons. This unit is made for gb,gbc pico 8 and any other 1:1 screen consoles. The sticks are rent needed. Plus it would make it look less cluttered.
I’m with ya on that!
