The GameBoy lost some weight and got curvy (displays) - Yanko Design

In the interest of nostalgia and Nintendo's obsession with it, hither's the Nintendo Flex, a fan-fabricated GameBoy update that gives the age old classic handheld gaming device a time-advisable revamp. The Nintendo Flex is to the Gameboy what Daniel Craig is to Sean Connery. Same James Bond, but modern. (Sames Bond?)

The Flex comes with a few very welcome updates. Bigger screen on a device that's the same handy size (albeit thinner). The screen'due south also mildly curved, giving you a slightly panoramic experience and adding just a tiny couple of more brandish inches into the same framework. The Flex retains the same keys and controls, but gives them a makeover too, opting for flushed surfaces rather than the original GameBoy's mesomorphic keys that stood out from the surface. There's even a contrast slider on the side of the Flex.

The Flex'southward biggest overhaul, yet, is the change in Nintendo'southward cartridge system. Flex ditches the large squarish cartridges for something much sleeker and thinner, looking nearly like a stylus. The stylus-sized cartridge slides conveniently into a slot in the Flex's base, locking in place and becoming incommunicable to remove while in the heart of gameplay. Yous'll exist happy to know that the Flex also packs a Type-C charging slot and a (hallelujah!) 3.5mm audio jack, just like old times. And it too comes in the same classic old-globe white colour! (P.South. Credibility points to the designer for also designing a curved packaging box for the curved device!)
