8 Retro Gadgets That Made a High-Tech Comeback (5 of 5)

8. Retro Handhelds

Handheld gaming changed with each console generation to adapt to the current demand as much as possible, taking into account the form factor. Game Boy was a champion of portable gaming, but now we see an influx of its modern, slicker version, adapted to the gamers’ current needs. No cloud saves, no microtransactions, no updatesjust charge it, pick it up, and play. The Analogue Pocket is the star of the scene. It plays Game Boy, GameBoy Color, and GameBoy Advance cartridges natively (no emulators needed), and its screen makes those classics look better than ever. It’s got developer support too! Basically, it’s not trying to replace modern consolesit’s doing its own retro thing and doing it right.
