TL;DR

• AYANEO revealed its upcoming Game Boy clone, the Pocket VERT, in a livestream this morning.
• It features a minimalist design, plus a hidden touchpad beneath the front.
• The Pocket VERT comes in three colorways, but pricing and specs haven’t been revealed.

AYANEO hosted yet another livestream “sharing session” this morning, highlighting its upcoming Pocket VERT handheld. The premium Game Boy clone looks very nice, but after the first hour, it didn’t look like anything particularly special. Then, AYANEO CEO Arthur Zhang revealed a surprising new feature that’s literally hidden beneath the surface.

In addition to unlabeled buttons and a minimalist D-pad, the Pocket VERT features a touchpad beneath its all-glass front. The touchpad extends across the width of the device, positioned in the space under both the D-pad and buttons. It’s programmable to serve as either the left joystick, the right joystick, or both.
