Retro manufacturer Hyperkin has confirmed that its April Fools' Day announcement of a Game Boy-compatible device for smartphones is set to become a reality, following unprecedented consumer demand.
Portable nostalgia.
Aka hyperkin has remade the Sega nomad.
Hyperkin does what Sega don't
I'd have to wait to see performance, because if this is just another rom dump-to-emulation type Hyperkin device then hard pass. The quality of their products are severely hit-or-miss.
Also, unsure why they picked a 16:9 screen yet again when every game plays in 4:3. There are plenty of emu-handhelds that have quality screens in the original aspect ratio.

Still one of my favorites controllers overall. Extremely comfortable for my hands.Unfortunately the Hyperskin version is ridiculously expensive in my region. To the point that you can actually get yourself a Xbox Series controller and a Dual Sense for the same price.
Duke is without a doubt one of the most recognizable video game characters, designed with American video game players in mind because of his “big hands,” and then reduced in size to appeal to Japanese audiences.
hope it comes to my HTC One. dont mind my emulators but using the real cartridge would be better
Please please don't make me buy an iPhone i want this on android.
I imagine it would need to be jailbroken to use the emulation features.
Why limit the device to a d-pad and a & b. Throw on some shoulders and x & y. Android pls.
I would if it had gameboy advance compatibility I have a feeling the second gen will have it.
