    A great nostalgic gaming experience

    I had one of the originals as a kid. I played it so much the buttons wore out. This is a great upgrade. It is well made and everything is crisp and clean. I highly recommend it to those who enjoyed their gameboy in the past.

    Thank you! Will be recommending one to all of my friends.

    Un produit indispensable pour tout rétrogamer (avis Français)

    Je suis très heureux de mon achat. Je retrouve les sensations de l’époque dans un matériel de qualité remis au goût du jour. Je peux aussi dire que le service après vente est de qualité, j’avais un problème sur mes jeux Pokémon de 2nde génération (sauvegardes corrompues) la réponse a été rapide avec l’envoie d’un nouveau PCB gratuitement. Depuis je joue de façon impeccable à mes jeux Game Boy et Game Boy Color. Je recommande vivement! 👌

    Love my modern GBC

    So far so GREAT! Love this device. The materials are premium and the nostalgia is at an all time HIGH! Little bummed the rechargeable pack is sold out. I really need to get my hands on that to complete the set.

    For the nostalgia and the next generation

    I got this for me and my daughter to enjoy who is 9. She is into her iPad most of the time when we allow but when she saw this and what the old Pokemon games were like she was hooked. It was awesome seeing her enjoy them how I did as a kid on a better designed gameboy. Thanks Mod, looking forward to the Advance one day!
