The Super Retro Boy Is A Thing

The Super Retro Boy from Retro-Bit (it’s not on their site yet) is yet another reason that Nintendo should re-release the GBA. Retro Bit have done a brain fart and bundled the GBA hardware into an original Game Boy shell, whilst doing away with the shoulder buttons. The machine is lovely to look at, it’s obviously as …

Smach Z to Return to Kickstarter Next Month

Last year this SteamOS powered handheld arrived on Kickstarter with a $900k goal and no working prototype. Unsurprisingly things didn’t go as planned and the campaign was pulled before the end.

JXD’s Youtube Channel Shows The S192 In Action

  It must be nearly time, in the past couple of days JXD have uploaded a bunch of videos demoing their new flagship in action. For whatever reason, the videos are very GTA heavy, show casing San Andreas, Vice City, ChinaTown Wars and GTA3. There’s also a video of Half Life 2 for good measure. The cheapest …
