Are Abernic game consoles the new game boy color?

Untitled21397.jpg

I don't know if you have seen these yet, but WOW.

In case you haven't heard, these are essentially an all-inclusive game boy color. They seem similar to the steam deck, but cheaper, touch screen, can be plugged into a Tv, and have access to almost 4,000 games. If I ever got tired of my Nintendo Switch and wanted to get my hands on some classic games, this would be my choice. 

Here's my quick rundown of information: 

  • Brand: Abernic - check em out here
  • Games that it supports: 
    • Amber_AMD_0-1666219711196.png
  • Touch Screen 
  • Includes built-in wi-fi, streaming, HDMI, and screen settings
  • 6 hours of battery life
  • Includes Bluetooth for controllers 
    • Can be used as a controller itself while plugged into a TV as well. 

I don't think I'd go splurge and buy something like this right now, but it's just SO cool. What do y'all think of this? If you have one - I'd love to hear what it's like!

That sure is amazing! Never seen it.
But there are so many remakes, vintages and similar builds today that its tempting to get one.

I really enjoyed your post so much because I'm in a middle.... erheeemmm... I asked a fried of mine to restore my Vintage 1989 GameBoy that worked well but a week ago.. it died.

My poor little fellow, had it since launch.

Also have the Advance in a pretty "Brand NEW" shape.

Ah, this is so cool you still have them! I wish I kept my game boy color from when I was a kid 😕 

Do you ever pick them up and play them?! 

Also, you could play all those games on this new console which is CRAZY

I still do a race or two on F1 

A great part of Gameboy games are so simple that you can hop in do a 5 or 15 min game and leave.

In Gameboy advance a race or two on Mario kart.

I was never a huge fan of handheld gaming, but I've been thinking of something like a Switch for a while. This is also an interesting thing, as I am a big fan of nostalgia. There is just something about finally going back and playing some of the games you didn't have the chance to as a kid.
