The success of miniature consoles has shown that there is special interest in these small format models. That's why someone thought it would be a great idea to further reduce the size of the original Game Boy to such an extent that practically turn it into a keychain. But, can you imagine having a keychain with the entire Game Boy catalog working?
The Game Boy keychain
Elliot Coll is a YouTuber known for being a lover of Nintendo laptops, especially all those that have had homemade variations and modifications. So it was to be expected that the next product he was for sale on Ali Express will quickly catch your attention. It was a miniature Game Boy that, under the name “Mini game console”, is listed on AliExpess with an exterior appearance clearly inspired by the original Nintendo Game Boy.
The size of this keychain is 3 centimeters wide by 5 centimeters high, but the most surprising thing is that it has a battery and a color screen that turns on in the same way that we turn on an original Game Boy.
A small switch allows you to turn on the device, and that is when we discover the true secret of the device: it has an extremely simple personalized menu where you can see a huge list of game boy games.
Work, work
The console is perfectly functional, and has macros so that, through a series of button combinations, we can adjust the brightness, volume and color settings with which to enjoy an appearance identical to the screen of the original Game Boy , play in black and white tones or opt directly for the full color screen if you are going to play original Game Boy Color games.
The games are stored on a microSD card that is hidden in a peculiar hole created in the back of the mini console, since the cartridge at the back is removable, and that is where the microSD card is placed for connection.
Price
The price of this Game Boy micro is about 99 euros, a somewhat high price considering that for little more you can get a model of a more comfortable and more capable size. However, the peculiarities of this miniature version make it unique, and the fact that it is 100% functional is something truly surprising.
