RG CubeXX Square-Screen Retro Handheld | Gray, White or Black | Standard & New 64G Options
A square-screen handheld with room for both thumbs.
RG CubeXX combines a square display area with a landscape body, a directional pad to the upper left, face buttons to the upper right and two lower analog sticks in this listing’s product images. Choose Gray, White or Black, each offered as a standard 64G 5K Games label or a New 64G label. Every current choice is $149.99 USD; this page does not charge extra for New.
Our verdict: Consider this offer for its square-screen format, side-by-side controls and simple three-finish choice, not because the word New implies a faster device. The two labels do not document a hardware revision or a different software library. Pick the look you prefer, then match the exact option to the setup and content you actually want.
Compare all six 64G options
Your thirty-second buying decision
Choose the shape
The display sits between the controls, rather than above them in a tall vertical body. The square viewing area is the distinctive feature; the surrounding landscape shell gives each hand its own side.
Choose the finish
Gray, White and Black each have standard and New-labelled versions. There is no current color surcharge, so the visual preference can be yours rather than a compromise dictated by a different price.
Choose the exact version
Standard labels contain 5K Games; New labels do not state a game count. Compare the selected version’s software and contents. A different word in the selector is not a processor, panel or battery specification.
Start with the activity that matters most: a favorite classic, a quiet story session, a travel companion or a present for someone who enjoys older games. Then check whether the actual software setup supports that activity. A big title count is a poor substitute for a game you can launch, control and save.
Six exact options, all $149.99 USD
| Exact Color value | USD selling price | Listed compare-at |
|---|---|---|
| Gray 64G 5K Games | $149.99 | $219.99 |
| New White 64G | $149.99 | $219.99 |
| White 64G 5K Games | $149.99 | $219.99 |
| New Gray 64G | $149.99 | $219.99 |
| Black 64G 5K Games | $149.99 | $219.99 |
| New Black 64G | $149.99 | $219.99 |
There is one selector called Color. Each complete value includes the finish and the version wording; there is no separate capacity or bundle selector on this offer. All six are 64G-labelled. A 128G or 256G package offered on another CubeXX page does not become an option here.
These are this listing’s USD base prices. The compare-at field is a listed reference, not an independently checked price-history claim. Read the selected option and final checkout total before ordering; the selector’s order is not a ranking of speed, quality or popularity.
Standard versus New: what actually changes?
The answer currently documented by the selector is the label, not a specification. Gray, White and Black standard options explicitly include “64G 5K Games.” The matching New options say “New” and “64G,” but no game total, firmware build, card supplier or hardware revision. There is no price premium attached to New in this offer.
If you already know which boot interface or software build you want, compare that requirement with the exact selected version. If you care about specific games, a version-specific title list is more informative than a claim of refreshed curation. If the difference has not been documented, neither version can honestly be called the faster or more complete purchase.
A meaningful difference
A dated software build, an actual contents list or a clearly identified revision can explain a version choice. Such a difference should match the unit and option being purchased.
Not an upgrade specification
New does not by itself mean more storage, newer silicon, a better panel, a higher-quality card, extra accessories or a larger game library.
Square screen, landscape body
The actual product references show a wide, rounded shell with controls flanking the square screen. The left directional pad and right face-button cluster sit above the analog sticks. The rear and side views show the body’s contour, while the top and bottom references help you locate the external controls and connections before planning your setup.
That arrangement makes this a different physical proposition from a tall handheld with all controls below its display. Choose it because you like the relationship between screen and hands, not because a nostalgic comparison suggests it is an original Game Boy. Surface appearance cannot establish exact weight, dimensions or universal comfort, but the genuine views do let you judge the layout.
What the display artwork tells you
The original display graphic advertises 3.95-inch IPS, 720 × 720 and OCA lamination wording. Those are the source artwork’s specifications, not measurements made on your selected unit. The image shows a square screen framed by the white shell and a circular directional pad. It is useful evidence of the intended product presentation without being a calibrated panel test.
A square pixel grid can suit buyers who enjoy exploring different classic handheld aspect ratios, but it is not a reason to stretch every game to the edges. The meaningful result is readable text and a picture that looks right to you. Check the selected setup’s scaling options rather than assuming the screen shape chooses the correct layout automatically.
Original proportions, borders, stretch and crop
| Viewing choice | What changes | Best question to ask |
|---|---|---|
| Preserve original aspect | The game keeps its intended proportions; unused areas can remain. | Are circles, characters and text the shape I expect? |
| Scale larger | The image occupies more of the panel, with sharpness depending on the method. | Is small text still readable at my usual distance? |
| Stretch to fill | The image can change shape to fit the square. | Do I actually prefer the distorted result? |
| Crop to fill | Some of the original image can fall outside the visible region. | Does the crop hide HUD, text or playable space? |
A square screen does not turn a 4:3 console picture or a wide GBA picture into a native square image. Borders are not inherently a defect; they may be the tradeoff that preserves the complete scene. Compare a familiar title with a text box and a circular object before deciding whether full-screen fill is worth that tradeoff.
Directional pad and face buttons
The product views place a circular cross-style directional pad on the upper left, with X at the top, A at the right, B at the bottom and Y at the left of the face-button diamond. This lets a directional-pad-first player inspect the controls that matter for menus, classic platform movement and many older game designs without mistaking the analog sticks for a required input in every title.
For a specific game, button mapping is a software question as well as a physical one. Inspect whether confirm, cancel and shoulder inputs follow the layout you expect. A clear photograph can show positions, but it cannot measure actuation force, diagonal accuracy or long-session fatigue. Choose the layout thoughtfully rather than treating “precision” in an advertisement as a test result.
Dual sticks and illuminated rings
The original White front views show two lower analog sticks with illuminated rings. The lighting graphic illustrates adjustable colors and effects, but the graphic does not certify every control mode in every shipped software build. The visible rings are part of the product presentation, not a guarantee of Hall-effect sensors or a particular analog calibration.
For a directional-pad-focused library, the extra sticks may be secondary. For a game that uses analog control, consider thumb reach, mapping and how the software handles the specific inputs. A second stick adds an input location, not automatic support for PS2, GameCube or modern PC games. Lighting can be a visual preference without becoming the reason to assume higher emulation performance.
Rear grip and side profile
The rear-detail source shows an opaque White back shell, a shaped grip area and a magnified texture inset. The Black and White multi-angle references also show the thickness and shoulder profile from the sides. Together these are more useful than an isolated front crop when you are deciding how the device might sit between your palms.
Grip texture and contour do not establish a certified non-slip rating or a fit for every hand. Think about where your fingers rest during a menu-heavy story game and where they reach during an action game. If comfort is the decisive reason to purchase, judge the full front/back/side layout rather than a generic promise of ergonomics.
Gray: contrast with a classic-device feel
The Gray color artwork shows a gray shell, dark directional pad and sticks, with magenta-toned A/B buttons contrasting with darker X/Y buttons. It is the most visibly contrasting face-button treatment among the three source color graphics. This is an aesthetic difference in the imagery, not evidence of a different chipset, screen or storage tier.
Both Gray labels cost the same as their White and Black counterparts here. Choose Gray if those contrasting controls appeal to you, then choose the standard or New label based on actual version information. The color graphic’s screen artwork and package strip do not establish a supplied racing title or the exact contents of either Gray option.
White: an opaque shell in the product references
The White sources show an opaque white body, light controls and a dark display border. Those views let you see the outline of the shell and the relation of the controls to the panel without replacing the device with a transparent-white interpretation. Light-colored details can be subtle against the body, so the multi-angle reference is useful alongside the front view.
New White 64G and White 64G 5K Games are separate selector values at the same price. A white shell is not evidence that the software, card or package is identical between the two labels. Choose the actual full label you intend to buy; the color photo alone cannot identify which software version has been prepared.
Black: a quiet shell around the screen
The Black reference shows a dark shell with dark controls, light face-button lettering and bright stick-ring colors. The multi-angle image is particularly useful for seeing the exterior controls without the surrounding promotional banners found in some of the other source artwork. It gives a clear physical reference for a buyer who prefers a darker device.
Black 64G 5K Games and New Black 64G again share the $149.99 base price. No current price difference makes one a premium finish. The image’s dramatic racing art should not be read as proof that a modern game runs locally or comes installed. Use the physical color and layout as the reference, and evaluate the actual software separately.
Why the 64G label needs a separate contents answer
Every value in this selector contains 64G, so this page is not a capacity ladder. There is no smaller no-card choice or larger-capacity upgrade in these six options. The label is useful for identifying the offer, but it is not a storage diagnostic showing formatted capacity, internal storage, removable-card count or card brand.
Storage planning should separate the system, game files and saves. Before altering a prepared card, make a backup using instructions appropriate to the exact device and installed software. A generic file-copy assumption can be inappropriate for a bootable system image. New does not mean that the original setup can be discarded without checking what it contains.
Game count is not the same as a favorite game
Three standard option labels say 5K Games, while the three New labels omit a count. The former product headline’s 15,000+ claim does not reconcile those labels and should not be promoted as a delivered-library guarantee. There is no audited version-specific title manifest in the material reviewed for this rebuild.
If you are buying for one series or one remembered game, the useful answer is whether that exact release is present, launches correctly and can save on the selected software setup. A large total can conceal different regions, revisions or entries that are not useful to you. Equally, a familiar character in a product picture is not a promise that the corresponding game is supplied.
Use content that you own or are otherwise authorized to use. The presence of a file or image does not establish permission to distribute it. Nothing in this page treats a storage label as a blanket licensing assurance.
Linux, muOS and the actual boot experience
This listing’s existing title names Linux-based muOS; its original overview artwork says 64-bit Linux, and the pictured media menu includes Music, Video, E-book, File Manager, Expert and APPS. A static menu image does not identify the firmware version installed on any particular standard or New option.
Linux is an operating-system family, while the installed distribution, front end and emulator components determine the practical setup. Do not plan Android applications or Google Play on the strength of this offer. For updates or replacement cards, use the exact model and installed build, not a firmware image chosen merely because another device also uses Linux.
Platform interest and realistic compatibility
| Playing interest | A useful selected-setup check | Do not infer |
|---|---|---|
| GB and GBC | Readable dialogue, intended colors, input response and a working save. | Every commercial release supplied or reproduced identically. |
| NES and SNES | A familiar action scene, correct aspect, sound and controls. | All titles run perfectly because a platform name appears in marketing. |
| GBA | Text, image proportions, shoulder mapping and in-game saving. | Wide games naturally fill a square panel without tradeoffs. |
| PS1 | Exact game/release, sound, storage requirements and save/load. | A fixed frame rate for an entire platform. |
| N64 | A title-specific demonstration with the controls you need. | Universal compatibility, multiplayer or full speed from dual sticks. |
| Arcade and Sega | Exact emulator/core and matching content requirements. | Every arcade board, ROM set or release supported. |
The platform names in the source title describe interests to evaluate, not a benchmark library. Performance depends on the title, emulator, build and settings. Choose from the games you actually want to play rather than using the longest list of system names as a measure of quality.
Wi-Fi and local multiplayer are different questions
The original entertainment graphic depicts two handhelds and labels Wi-Fi multiplayer. That is an advertised scenario, not evidence that two arbitrary games or devices can connect. A working session can depend on matching software, emulator/core versions, game releases and network settings, as well as the available hardware.
If shared play is your main buying reason, identify the exact game and second device first. A menu icon, a radio specification or two matching shells cannot demonstrate synchronization or stable latency. For a solo buyer, do not let an untested multiplayer promise overshadow the controls and display that you will use every day.
Streaming and TV use are not local game performance
The entertainment source also names Moonlight and illustrates a larger external screen. Streaming means receiving content from another suitable system and network; it is not the same claim as running that game locally on this handheld. TV-output behavior has its own connector, cable, software and display requirements.
Neither streaming nor external-display use is documented as a tested complete configuration for these exact standard/New variants. If either is essential, establish the intended host, software, display connection and controller route before purchasing accessories. A picture of a TV and handheld does not specify an included cable, a controller or a second console.
Battery planning without a fixed-hours promise
The original battery poster advertises 3800mAh and 6.5 hours, while older prose used other runtime ranges. These are advertising statements rather than a measured selected-unit result with stated brightness, workload and battery condition. This page does not convert those figures into a guaranteed journey length or a promise of best-in-class endurance.
For practical use, the relevant test is a session similar to your own: game, brightness, audio level and any active wireless features. Keep charging access in your travel plan and follow the actual device instructions for power requirements. Capacity and charging connector are not enough to infer a safe charging rate or the exact supplied power adapter.
A useful travel habit
Check the current battery level and your saved progress before leaving. Let the installed software finish writing saves and shutting down before packing the device.
An honest boundary
No measured runtime, charging time or per-unit battery certification is claimed here. The New label does not document a larger battery.
Everyday play: one familiar game at a time
Imagine a short break after dinner: you choose a favorite classic, settle the controls in both hands and stop after a complete stage or a saved story moment. The appeal is the relationship between an approachable handheld and a game you care about, rather than thousands of entries you may never open.
A good first session establishes language, sound, button mapping and a reliable save path. Once that is comfortable, explore another system or scaling choice. This is a proposed way to use the device, not a claim that the pictured menus or supplied files have already been tested for you. The same-price selector leaves room to choose your preferred finish without attributing an undocumented software benefit to it.
Travel: prepare the setup before the departure
A handheld can give a trip its own small ritual: a saved game, a quiet seat and a session that fits the available time. Prepare that routine at home by checking offline launch, saves, control mapping and how the device shuts down. Do not make your first firmware experiment just before a train, flight or holiday.
Choose a case by the actual device dimensions and control clearance, not a similar-looking model name. No carrying case is specified by the six selector values, and this page does not promise pocket fit, water resistance or a full-flight runtime. The real travel advantage depends on the setup and accessories you actually have.
Desk and collector use: the finish is part of the choice
For a collection shelf or desk, Gray, White and Black offer different contrast around the same pictured square-screen layout. The source overview shows the three finishes together, and the separate angle views make the shell form more legible. A collector can care about physical presentation without requiring an invented limited-edition status or a claim of original Nintendo hardware.
Think about what you would want to keep together: the selected device, its own instructions, the actual box and a record of the installed software. Standard and New do not specify a rare revision or future collectible value. A useful collection begins with knowing exactly what you bought and how to restore the working setup.
Gift buying: choose the person’s interest, not a number
A thoughtful retro-gaming gift starts with the recipient’s favorite kind of play. Someone who enjoys dialogue and exploration may care most about readable text and saving; an action player may notice the directional pad and shoulder mapping first. The recipient’s preferred finish can guide Gray, White or Black without being tied to an unsupported age or gender stereotype.
Before wrapping, establish how the actual selected version starts, charges, launches its intended content and saves. Include the actual instructions and any setup information the recipient needs. This offer does not promise zero setup, a particular commercial game, a child-safety certification or arrival by a birthday. A clear first-session plan is more useful than choosing New solely because it sounds newer.
What the package artwork shows
The dedicated accessory graphic depicts one White handheld, one gift box, one Type-C charging cable and one user manual. The separate Gray, White and Black package strips also picture a cable, manual and box. This is more specific than guessing accessories from the 64G label, but it remains an illustration rather than a packing audit of all six variants.
No wall adapter, carrying case, screen protector, additional controller, second handheld or named card brand is established by those pictures. The selected standard/New version’s actual contents remain the reference for delivery. Do not count the Linux logo as a physical accessory or infer a second storage card from two capacity-like words in another listing.
First boot and keeping the original setup safe
When the device arrives, compare its finish and model with the order, inspect the physical condition and check the included items against the actual packing information. Start with the supplied instructions and original setup rather than immediately flashing a new image. Record the booted version if you intend to make changes later.
Test the basic controls, sound and a permitted game; make an ordinary in-game save, exit properly and confirm that it loads. Before modifying removable media, preserve a backup appropriate to that storage layout. Use an exact-model procedure for firmware or card work. A product page is not a substitute for model-specific recovery instructions or an assurance that every generic hotkey works.
Saves, backups and a useful long-term library
A working library is more than a screen full of titles. Keep your own record of which game, version and emulator you used, especially if you move files between devices. An in-game save and an emulator save state can serve different roles and should not be assumed interchangeable across builds.
Store backups separately from the device, and make one change at a time when experimenting. The New label provides no documented migration path, automatic cloud backup or guarantee that an old save state will load in a new core. For a recipient who simply wants to play, a small understood set of games can be a better starting point than unnecessary software changes.
This offer versus other CubeXX pages
This URL has exactly six 64G-labelled values, with three finishes and two label styles, all $149.99. Other CubeXX pages can offer different storage labels, bag options or price ladders. Similar model names do not make their specific packages interchangeable, and this page does not borrow the previous listing’s $229.99–$369.99 tiers.
Compare offers using the complete selected option, delivered storage/setup, accessories and final price. If a neighboring page documents a feature or firmware build, verify whether it applies to the exact option here before treating it as shared. Multiple pages can serve different buying questions; the useful distinction here is a same-price standard/New decision, not a capacity upgrade story.

Who this offer suits, and who should choose differently
Consider it if
You prefer a square viewing area in a landscape handheld, want directional-pad and dual-stick locations, and like one of the three pictured finishes. You are choosing among same-priced 64G labels rather than shopping for a higher-capacity tier.
Pause if
Your purchase requires a proven New hardware upgrade, a guaranteed commercial game library, a particular muOS build, a measured runtime or demonstrated TV/streaming/multiplayer behavior that has not been established for your selected option.
For a beginner, the useful question is whether the actual setup and instructions match your willingness to learn the menus. For an experienced player, the useful question may be the exact firmware, scaling and storage arrangement. Neither profile should have to infer those details from a fashionable label or a photograph of a game.
A focused pre-checkout checklist
- Choose the full Color value, including standard 5K or New wording.
- Confirm the selected $149.99 USD base offer and final checkout total.
- Match the chosen finish against the actual Gray, White or Black reference.
- Clarify any standard/New software or contents difference that matters to you.
- Confirm the selected version’s storage medium and actual package contents.
- If a specific game or wireless workflow is essential, establish that exact requirement before buying.
Delivery options and store terms belong to the current checkout and published store policies.

Buyer FAQ: direct answers before you choose
What is this product?
RG CubeXX, offered here in six 64G-labelled choices. The inspected product references show a landscape handheld with a square display area and two lower analog sticks.
Is it a tall vertical handheld?
No. The product references show controls to the left and right of the screen in a landscape shell, not a Game Boy-style tall vertical layout.
How many choices are there?
Six complete values in one selector named Color. There is no separate capacity or bundle selector on this offer.
What are the standard options?
Gray 64G 5K Games, White 64G 5K Games and Black 64G 5K Games.
What are the New options?
New Gray 64G, New White 64G and New Black 64G.
What does each choice cost?
All six currently list at $149.99 USD with a $219.99 compare-at field. Check the selected option and final checkout total.
Is New more expensive?
No. The current six-option matrix has no New surcharge or color surcharge.
Does New mean upgraded hardware?
The label does not document a hardware revision. It is not evidence of a different processor, panel, battery or control mechanism.
Does New mean a refreshed library?
No before/after title list or software-build comparison has been verified here. New alone does not define a library change.
Does New include 5,000 games?
Its option labels do not state a game count. Do not transfer the standard options’ 5K text to New as a delivered-content guarantee.
Are 15,000+ games guaranteed?
No audited selected-version manifest supports that old headline claim. Standard labels say 5K, while New labels omit a count.
Does 64G describe usable space?
It is the selector wording, not a measured formatted-capacity result. The actual storage medium and usable capacity require selected-version information.
Is 128G or 256G offered here?
Not among the current six values. A larger-capacity option on a different CubeXX page is a separate offer.
Which finish is the best value?
All three share the same listed price. Choose the look you prefer and evaluate the exact version’s documented setup rather than inferring a color-related performance benefit.
Is the pictured White shell transparent?
The inspected White product references show an opaque white body. They are references for appearance, not a material certification or a record of every individual delivered unit.
How are the controls arranged?
The references show a directional pad at upper left, face buttons at upper right and two analog sticks below them.
Are the analog sticks Hall-effect?
No inspected specification establishes that sensor type. Dual sticks and illuminated rings do not prove Hall-effect technology.
Can the ring lights be changed?
The source graphic advertises color/effect adjustment. The controls and modes available in the selected software build have not been independently tested.
Is the screen 3.95-inch IPS and 720 × 720?
Those specifications are printed in the original display artwork. They are advertised source specifications rather than an independent measurement of your selected unit.
Will every game fill the square screen?
Not while necessarily preserving its original proportions. Different game aspect ratios can leave borders, or require stretching/cropping to fill the panel.
Does it ship with muOS?
muOS appears in the existing listing title, but a specific installed build for every standard/New version has not been confirmed. The pictured menu alone does not establish it.
Can it run Android or Google Play?
This offer is described as Linux-based. No Android or Google Play setup is established by the reviewed material.
Is H700 independently verified?
H700 appears in existing listing material, but no selected-unit board inspection was performed for this rebuild.
Will all PS1 or N64 games run at full speed?
No platform-wide performance guarantee is supported. Check the exact game, software build, emulator and settings that matter to you.
Are named commercial games included?
A recognizable game image or platform name does not establish a supplied title. There is no audited selected-version title manifest here.
Does Wi-Fi prove multiplayer works?
No. A working shared session depends on the exact hardware, software, game/core configuration and network. The supplier graphic is not a live test.
Does the Moonlight image mean AAA games run locally?
No. Streaming and local execution are different. The depicted streaming workflow has not been verified as a complete configuration for these options.
Is a TV cable or controller included?
Neither is established by the selector or the dedicated package artwork. Confirm actual selected-version contents before buying extra hardware.
How long does the battery last?
No measured runtime is claimed here. The original 3800mAh/6.5-hour poster is advertising, not a selected-unit workload test.
What does the package image show?
One handheld, one box, one Type-C charging cable and one manual. This illustration does not replace a packing confirmation for each standard/New version.
Is a wall charger or carrying case promised?
No such inclusion is established by the reviewed option values or package illustration.
Is it ready to gift without setup?
Do not assume that. Establish the actual boot experience, instructions, charging, desired content and saving before giving it.
Should I flash new firmware immediately?
Preserve the original working setup and use exact-model instructions. Record the installed build and back up the relevant storage before making changes.
Will saves transfer between standard and New?
No migration procedure is documented by those labels. Save compatibility can depend on the game, emulator and software versions.
Is this the same package as another CubeXX URL?
Do not assume so. This offer has six same-priced 64G labels; other pages can have different storage, software or accessories.
Which terms apply to delivery and returns?
Use the current checkout and published store policies. Old supplier promotional or policy artwork does not create a separate promise for this offer.
Your color. Your chosen setup. No imaginary upgrade.
The distinctive buying reason is the combination of a square screen area, landscape control placement and a choice of Gray, White or Black. This offer keeps the price decision simple: six 64G-labelled values, all $149.99 USD. It does not require you to pay extra for the word New, and it does not justify inventing a benefit for that word.
Choose the finish that belongs on your desk or in your recipient’s hands. Then choose the exact label whose actual software and contents fit the way you want to play. A clear, usable favorite and a reliable save are a more meaningful beginning than an undocumented library total.
