The horizontal handheld will be released in navy and orange colorways.<\/p>\n
It’s a few weeks after the 25th anniversary of the Game Boy Advance’s US release, but we finally have a modern-day remake, even if it’s not from Nintendo. During its latest product sharing stream,\u00a0Ayaneo revealed the Konkr Pocket Advance, its take on the iconic horizontal handheld but updated with\u00a0a better display, extra buttons and two fitting colors.<\/p>\n
Drawing inspiration from the original Game Boy Advance, the Konkr Pocket Advance uses a 3.5-inch LCD screen to achieve the same 3:2 aspect ratio, but with a higher resolution of 960 x 640. Ayaneo adds the full range of ABXY buttons, additional menu buttons and some extra shoulder buttons, while also modernizing the handheld with a USB-C port, microSD slot and Wi-Fi\/Bluetooth compatibility. There’s even a 3.5mm headphone jack and a volume adjustment wheel for that extra touch of retro.<\/p>\n
So far, Ayaneo has only revealed two colors for the Konkr\u00a0Pocket Advance: a navy blue that’s reminiscent of the classic indigo Game Boy Advance and a coral orange that feels like a callback to the Spice Orange variant. As usual, Ayaneo hasn’t announced a price or release window for its latest handheld. However, we’re hoping that Ayaneo is planning for a larger production run of its Konkr Pocket Advance, unlike its\u00a0Pocket Micro 2\u00a0that sold out in minutes for its very limited production runs.<\/p>\n
