It’s hard to beat out the Nintendo Game Boy in terms of
being a classic. This is why despite there being newer handhelds like the DS or
3DS, the Game Boy’s design is still one of the more iconic and recognizable
consoles out there.
Clearly Nintendo is done with the Game Boy, but in
case you want to relive some memories, the folks at Retro-bit have brought the
device back to life in the form of the Super Retro Boy. For obvious reasons it
was not named the Game Boy, but it doesn’t take a genius to guess which console
they were trying to emulate.
The Super Retro Boy sports a slightly updated design
compared to the Game Boy, and it will be able to support cartridges from the
Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advanced. If you have any of those
cartridges lying around, now would be a good time to blow the dust off them.
The console will feature a 2,500 mAh battery that should provide about 10 hours
of playtime, a TFT HD display, and it will only be priced at US$ 80 when it
launches later this August.
