We take a look at the upcoming Super Retro Boy, by Retro-Bit. Slated for an *August 2017 release* This portable machine is inspired by the original Gameboy by Nintendo, but it sports a TFT LCD HiDef screen, with Stereo sound, 10 hour battery life (2500mAh), and Micro USB charge port make this a decent option.

A return to the classics!

Advantages
- 10-in-1 game cartridge included (game list not released)
- Game Boy, GBC, GBA cartridge support
- Rechargable 2500 mAh battery capacity
- 10 hours of gameplay per charge
- Micro USB charging port
- Scratch & shatter resistant glass
- backlit TFT high-res LCD screen**
- Stereo sound
- Volume control

Disadvantages
- No TV output
- L and R button location
- Must own and carry games
- Price of $80 is a little high

Thanks to the commenters for these points:
- No headphone jack
- No link cable

Notes:
*Release Date: August 2017 is obviously wrong, as it has passed already. Retro-Bit has stated they are working hard to complete the product, but it has been delayed with no new release date set.

**TFT: Short for thin film transistor, a type of LCD flat-panel display screen, in which each pixel is controlled by from one to four transistors. The TFT technology provides the best resolution of all the flat-panel techniques, but it is also the most expensive. TFT screens are sometimes called active-matrix LCDs.
