Hyperkin’s SmartBoy turns your smartphone into a Nintendo Game Boy, pre-order now


Hyperkin’s SmartBoy turns your smartphone into a Nintendo Game Boy, pre-order now We’ve covered Hyperkin’s SmartBoy project since its early inception stages, and we’re glad that the project is finally taking off. Hyperkin just announced that the SmartBoy is now available for pre-order, and you can have your device by the end of August. So, who’s up for a little trip down memory lane? If you did not catch what the SmartBoy is, it’s a device that turns your smartphone into a Nintendo Game Boy. Remember all the great times you had with your first handheld gaming console? Now you can relive those moments by sliding your compatible smartphone into the SmartBoy and voila! Instant nostalgia trip. The SmartBoy allows you to play Nintendo Game Boy and Game Boy Color cartridges (PAL/NTSC) and provides with the classic Game Boy controller setup. It connects to your smartphone via a USB-C connection, and will accept any phone from 5.2 inches to 6 inches. Aside from accepting your old Game Boy cartridges, the SmartBoy is also compatible with Game Boy Advance apps that have been ported to the Play Store. So how much will this little nostalgia trip cost you? All of USD$50.00. You can pre-order the device already via the source link below, and the estimated ship dated is by August 21. SOURCE: Hyperkin Hyperkin’s SmartBoy Phone Accessory Hits Amazon At $50 Hyperkin’s SmartBoy phone accessory has hit Amazon at a price of $50 (specifically $49.99) although at the moment it is only available to pre-order with the device set to be launched officially on August 21st, for those who would rather wait till it actually launches before they decide to buy one. The SmartBoy for those that are unaware, though it’s likely to be obvious from the images for anyone who grew up in the 80s and 90s, is a device which basically turns your smartphone into a traditional GameBoy, complete with the D-Pad, the start and select buttons, and the A and B buttons, yet nothing else as this is a call back to the original so there are no extra controls. Though it is worth mentioning that there are obviously some updates, as this doesn’t require batteries like an original GameBoy. While your first thought might be that this is aimed at those who want a more nostalgic way to play GameBoy game ROMs, that couldn’t be further from the truth. The SmartBoy lets you play actual GameBoy and GameBoy Color cartridges, so if you use to have one or both of those handheld systems when you were younger but can no longer find the systems themselves, Hyperkin’s SmartBoy is your solution to booting up some of your favorite games from that era. Hyperkin says that these were designed for the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus “and up,” while mentioning that compatibility with other devices may vary, so you may want to consider that before snagging one. That being said there is already a list of devices which have verified support, including the ASUS ZenFone 3 Deluxe, the Google Pixel and Pixel XL, the Honor 8, OnePlus 2, 3, and 3T, Xiaomi Mi 5, and more. The SmartBoy is going to be compatible with screen sizes from 5.2-inches all the way up to 6-inches, though it’s hard to imagine it not working for phones with a 5-inch screen as well as there isn’t much of a difference between 5 and 5.2, not to mention the Pixel is on the support list, and it doesn’t have a 5.2-inch screen. The device uses USB Type-C so presumably it’ll work with a wide variety of phones as long as they have this port for charging and data transfer, and it will even upscale the resolution of the games to the resolution of your smartphone’s display. Neat, right? If you’re looking to pick one of these up, you can grab it from Amazon as well as Hyperkin’s own online shop. Buy The Hyperkin SmartBoy SmartBoy turns your Samsung Galaxy S8 into a Game Boy Do you still have a pile of Game Boy and Game Boy Color cartridges gather dust in a drawer somewhere in your house AND do you also have a Samsung Galaxy S8? Then your retro dreams have just come true with SmartBoy. SmartBoy from Hyperkin is a module that attaches to the bottom of your S8 (and a select group of other Android phones) to turn it into a Game Boy / Game Boy Color device right down to those iconic controller buttons. This device doesn’t require batteries. It plugs into the Type-C port on the bottom of the S8. You supply the Game Boy cartridge and then all that’s left is to have fun playing your favorite games. The SmartBoy is priced at $49.99 and will start shipping on 8/21/17.
