A personal project of a handheld console as a homage to the original Game Boy of 1989. The project target was to keep the catchy elements of the original and adapt them to the functions and requirements of current games. Software: Cinema4d and Octane

It's nice but the D-Pad should be replaced with a circle pad or equivalent. Nobody is gonna want to play that Fallout 4 cartridge with just a D-Pad.

Looks neat.

Will never exist in the real world, thus doesn't matter.

The inclusion of cartridges is pretty ridiculous, considering the landscape.

Slick concept!

As with any handheld, I still wish someone would replicate the awesome stick from the NGPC.

Button layout looks painful. Also that screen doesn't look like the resolution of the original GBA, certainly not the earlier ones, so BC is out. Looks like a decent knock-off at best.

The 3DS doesn't have the resolution of the GB but the Virtual Console is still a thing.

Looks great except for that DPad. That thing looks 360 controller levels of awful.

Seems like that's an intended feature since it's sort of like the Micro, given the fact that screen certainly isn't a proper resolution for games like Fallout 4. Not a fan of bordered games like 3DS VC. Maybe this concept is great and I'm reading too much into it. It could be triggering my Neo Geo X PTSD and that's why I can't seem to like it.

Those are flash cards. A GameBoy game wouldn't fit in the first place.

Obviously. I'm talking about re-releases on flash cards or downloadable versions, you know, like the Neo Geo X...

The number one rule in making a modern handheld device is to maintain the smallest ergonomic arrangement of the necessary components.
