If you’ve ever looked at a classic Game Boy and thought, “This is great, but I wish it fit more comfortably in my coin pocket,” FunnyPlaying might have just answered your prayers.
The hardware enthusiasts, known for their high-quality shells and upgrades, are officially venturing back into the handheld market with a teaser for the “Retro Pixel MiniGB.” It’s essentially a miniaturized Game Boy DMG that doesn’t just look the part—it actually plays original cartridges.
Here is the quick rundown on what we know so far:
- The Vibe: It’s a scaled-down version of the classic DMG, featuring tiny buttons and a D-pad.
- The Screen: Despite the tiny body, the display is expected to stay around a respectable 2.6 inches, looking much brighter than the original hardware.
- The Tech: While details are slim, there’s heavy speculation it will use FPGA technology (similar to their FPGBC kit) to run Game Boy and Color ROMs with high accuracy.
We’re still playing the waiting game for the big three: price, release date, and resolution. But if FunnyPlaying can polish the hardware as well as they did their previous releases, this could be the ultimate “pocket companion” for retro fans.
