  "account": "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.\n\nThe 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.\n\nAyaneo 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.",
