A new retro-style phone case now lets users play the nostalgic Gameboy on their iPhones.
Wanle Gamers recently launched a phone case, which when fitted onto an iPhone becomes a thinner but fully functional Gameboy.
The gaming console/iPhone case taps on nostalgia with its old-school screen and raised control buttons that make the gaming experience really authentic. The case is fitted with a separate battery and when turned on can play 10 of the old console’s most iconic games. These include “Tetris,” “Tank,” “Formula One Racing,” and “Snake and Block.”
It is unclear yet whether consumers will be stuck with the 10 games of if they could be updated later on.
The case fits on the back of an iPhone 6, 6S, 6 Plus, 7, 7 Plus, 8, 8 Plus, and X. It is notably unobtrusive and allows all the iPhone’s buttons, microphone, speaker, headphone jack, dock, and flash to be usable.
