Video game accessory maker, Hyperkin has announced plans to release a new device that will turn your smartphone into a Game Boy Colour. The Smart Boy was initially announced as an April Fools’ joke, but is now set to become a real thing because of the strong response from customers around the world. How will the Smart Boy work? You will simply plug your iPhone 6 Plus (and in the future, other smartphones) into the Smart Boy and it will allow you to play Game Boy and Game Boy Colours cartridges. The Smart Boy is equipped with the standard Game Boy set of buttons, while the phone’s screen is used to display the game. The Smart Boy has a built-in battery that can be charged by the phone; with a 6 Plus, gameplay is said to last for five hours. Hyperkin wrote on its Facebook page “A lot of you were speculating that the Smart Boy is an April Fools’ joke. Well, it sort of was. It looks like you awesome folks actually want it, so the Smart Boy is now in development! Thank you all for your enthusiastic responses!” The management also stated that the details and image released are for a conceptual design, meaning features could change between now and the time it is released. There is currently no word on when it will be released or how much it will cost. Video game lovers like me are eagerly looking forward to the release date which I hope will be soon.
