Ayaneo reveals its Game Boy Advance remake called the Konkr Pocket Advance
The horizontal handheld will be released in navy and orange colorways.
Ayaneo has unveiled its latest gaming device, the Konkr Pocket Advance, a modern remake of the iconic Game Boy Advance. This horizontal handheld was revealed during Ayaneo's latest product sharing stream, marking a few weeks after the 25th anniversary of the Game Boy Advance's US release. However, this new device is a creation of Ayaneo, not Nintendo.
The Konkr Pocket Advance maintains the original Game Boy Advance's 3:2 aspect ratio but with a higher resolution of 960 x 640, achieved through a 3.5-inch LCD screen. To enhance the user experience, Ayaneo has incorporated the full range of ABXY buttons, along with additional menu buttons and shoulder buttons. Additionally, the handheld features a USB-C port, a microSD slot, and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth compatibility.
For a touch of nostalgia, the Konkr Pocket Advance retains the 3.5mm headphone jack and includes a volume adjustment wheel.
Ayaneo has revealed two color options for the Konkr Pocket Advance: a navy blue reminiscent of the classic indigo Game Boy Advance and a coral orange, reminiscent of the Spice Orange variant. Despite the excitement surrounding the device, Ayaneo has not disclosed a price or release timeline. Nevertheless, the company hopes to achieve a larger production run, unlike the limited production runs of its previous handheld, the Pocket Micro 2.
