Retro-bit is a company that has been remaking classic gaming consoles for many years now and their latest offering is the Super Retro Boy. The Retro Boy is designed to mimic the feel and design of the original Nintendo Game Boy and it seems like they have built the perfect prototype.

They could not copy the full design of course since it would lead to copyright infringement and probably get lawyers involved. However, the copy of the iconic handheld device still looks very impressive and can emulate almost every game that released on the Game Boy.

The handheld device is designed in such a way that it can play cartridges designed for the Game Boy, Game Boy Advance and Game Boy colour. People who tested out the handheld console said the controls feel solid and worked like a charm. It can last for up to 10 hours on a single charge and it will come with a 10-in-1 cartridge too.

There are few noticeable design differences, though. The Retro Boy does not have any shoulder buttons which was one the key functionality buttons on the Game Boy Advance. However, the function of the shoulder buttons has been moved to additional face buttons which might prove to be difficult to use given that GBA games very specifically made with keeping those shoulder buttons in mind. 

Another feature that one cannot ignore is that the handheld console will be using the original Game Boy, Game Boy Color and GBA cartridges. Which means a trip to Palika bazaar might be in the offing soon.
