Game Boy goes glam with AYANEO’s latest luxurious gaming handheld

[phillynews215]

TL;DR

• AYANEO finally revealed its ultra-premium take on the Game Boy, called the Pocket VERT.
• It features a CNC-machined body, diamond-cut shoulder buttons, and a 3.5-inch screen with 10x the resolution of the Game Boy.
• Pricing and availability haven’t been announced, but it’s not going to be cheap.

One of the most noteworthy shifts in Android gaming handhelds this year has been AYANEO moving away from ultra-premium handhelds with more affordable options like the KONKR Pocket FIT and Pocket AIR Mini, but its latest handheld throws all that to the wind to double down on complete, unnecessary luxury.

First teased earlier this year, the company finally revealed the Pocket VERT earlier today in the YouTube video shown above. As promised, it’s a glamorous take on the Game Boy, with a CNC-machined body and “diamond-cut” shoulder buttons. It also appears to have an all-glass front, as well as transluscent, unlabeled buttons.
