Do you miss the simpler days of gaming, where graphics weren’t vying to be the most realistic thing you’ve ever had shot into your eyes? Where controllers had four buttons at most? When the amount of time you had to game was wholly dependent on the life of a few batteries? Well,ModRetro has come to bring back the gloryof the olden days with the ModRetro Chromatic handheld console. This nostalgia-fueled device is a throwback to the 90s, bringing the unique vibe of retro gaming to the modern world with a number of quality-of-life upgrades that transform the experience.
The ModRetro handheld console is, for all intents and purposes, a modern Game Boy Color, letting you play classic games in the ways you remember. Much of the appeal of the ModRetro device is that it is compatible with Game Boy and Game Boy Color games, letting you bust out old copies of Pokemon Gold and Silver, The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages, or even Tetris, slot them into the ModRetro, and start playing immediately. The display screen of the ModRetro is true to the original display size of the Game Boy Color, coming in at 160x144 pixels, so there’s no distortion from the original game. You don’t need to worry about having to play under a light or bother with extra accessories to light up the screen since the display is also backlit to let you play at any time.
Give Your Retro Games New Life
you may power your games with three AA batteries, letting you relive the panic and terror of seeing that little red low battery light pop up when you’re nowhere near a save point, or snag a rechargeable battery pack as well, though that is sold separately.
There are a few original games coming to the ModRetro as well, though they are also sold separately. One of the more interesting upgrades that come with the ModRetro is that it has a USB video out feature, letting you record and share your gaming adventures.
ModRetro Chromatic
Bring your favorite retro games with you anywhere you go with the ModRetro handheld console, compatible with tons of Game Boy and Game Boy Color games. It even has official Chromatic game cartridges, letting you play other games with you on the go.
If you’re looking to pick up one of these ModRetro Chromatic handheld consoles, you can preorder it fromGameStopnow for $200. If you’re thinking of picking one up as a gift for someone in your life, you’re in luck; this device is set to drop on December 1, giving you plenty of time to snag a few retro games to pair with it.
