It seems CES 2018 wasn't just an avenue for new hardware as Hyperkin, a well-known retro game console developer, announced their prototype revival of a classic handheld console -- The Game Boy. This isn't just a mere revival though, as Hyperkin also beefed up the frame and body of the device and aptly named it the Ultra Game Boy. The Ultra Game Boy takes its design cues from the Game Boy Pocket, Nintendo's shrunk down version of the original Game Boy, only this time it's encased in full aluminum and features a front-lit screen. Much of the previous generation pocket's button layout was carried over to the device except for the volume and power buttons which are positioned based on the original Game Boy's format. Users can also appreciate the fact that the Ultra Game Boy can run games using original cartridges and that it has a link cable port to maintain multiplayer functionality.
