Yes, that’s a GameBoy case. A fully functioning GameBoy case, to be precise. Well, of sorts \u2014 it’s not an officially licensed Nintendo product.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In fact, I doubt the manufacturer has the rights to market such a close likeness of the iconic handheld game console, let alone use the name or sell the games. But that’s the current state of Chinese manufacturing, and it’s not like Nintendo is ever going to make something this awesome.<\/p>\n

The design perfectly encapsulates the classic GameBoy vibe, which initially lured me in. The kicker is a set of nostalgic games to give those idle thumbs something to do. If you’re after the ultimate retro look for your phone and accompanying time sink, well, this case is absolutely what you’re looking for. At least if you own a recent iPhone or Galaxy handset, as the range of supported models is very limited.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

What’s it like to use?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

This gaming bit is running on a Chinese game emulator, complete with some poorly translated game titles when selecting the English language option. Which you have to do on every restart.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It includes 36 built-in games with classic GameBoy titles like Super Mario Bros, Donkey Kong, Pac-Man, and Tetris.<\/q><\/p>\n

It includes 36 built-in games in total; a handful of GameBoy classics, titles nabbed from other platforms, and some which I doubt ever saw commercial release for their sheer shoddiness. The list includes Super Mario Bros, Donkey Kong, Pac-Man, Tetris(a), Ice Climbers, \u201cBoom Man,\u201d and an assortment of more banal titles like Soccer, Pinball, and Chinese Chess. The selection might keep you occupied while waiting for a bus, but it’s hardly a GameBoy highlight reel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
