Retro handheld game console: How does it work? Let’s dive in.
The Retropian Color looks like it came straight out of the ’90s, but under that colorful transparent plastic shell, it’s all 2025. This handheld gaming console runs on an open-source Linux system and supports emulators for more than 20 classic consoles. We’re talking NES, SNES, Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, Sega Genesis, PS1, Neo Geo and more. You can start playing right away — no cartridges needed.
But how does it all work? What are emulators? They’re essentially software versions of other consoles, and this retro gaming console comes ready to run them without any additional steps required.
If you have any specific childhood games you’ve been missing, you can add them to this handheld gaming console via microSD. (That’s actually far easier than it sounds, and you’ll find many tutorials on YouTube if you’ve never sideloaded games.) Once you’re finished, you can even play them in multiplayer with support for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Not even the cherished Game Boy Color it resembles could do that.
Beyond more games, the graphics are better, too
Compared to your childhood Game Boy, this thing is an absolute visual upgrade. The 640×480 screen makes retro titles look cleaner and more vibrant than ever. Maybe the old, fuzzy screen is why you always lost at Mario Kart.
Plus, the six-hour battery of this handheld gaming console means you can game on long flights or road trips without bringing a charger. (Or batteries like you used to when you were a kid.)
It’s also available in six colors, so you can pick the translucent hue you like best.
