FunnyPlaying has unveiled a new ultra-compact FPGA Game Boy clone called the FPGB Mini, which is priced at just $90. Although not as versatile as the well-regarded Analogue Pocket, the FPGB Mini can play ROMs and cartridges with nearly perfect emulation accuracy at less than half the price of its competitor. Measuring only 113 × 64 × 22 mm, the FPGB Mini is barely larger than a Game Boy cartridge and features a 2.98-inch, 800×720-pixel IPS screen with five times the original Game Boy's resolution.
Its 1800 mAh battery is expected to last between four to six hours of gameplay and can be charged via USB-C or through a microSD slot for digital ROMs and firmware updates. Unlike the Analogue Pocket, the FPGB Mini does not support Game Boy Advance games or other retro consoles, and its small form factor eliminates the ability to insert cartridges with additional hardware features like rumble.
Despite its limitations, the FPGB Mini has already sold out its first batch of 20 early-bird units at $69, with the standard $89 price point significantly undercutting the competition.
