Oculus VR and Anduril Industries founder Palmer Luckey reveals his side project, ModRetro. Their first product is Chromatic, a line of colorful game Boy handhelds, complete with a fully-custom sunlight-viewable LCD underneath perfectly miming the size/resolution/subpixel structure/color balance of the Game Boy Color.
The ModRetro Chromatic is the best way to play Game Boy® and Game Boy Color® games, my ultimate tribute to the most important handheld console of all time. @ModRetroHub @GameStop @Tetris_Official @KossHeadphones pic.twitter.com/E6BWx5I490

Not just a Game Boy Color clone, this handheld features a magnesium-aluminum alloy shell, PBT semi-crystalline polymer buttons / d-pad, perfect compatibility with every known Game Boy title, full link cable, IR transceiver, and more. Interested? It’s price at $199 USD, with shipments starting Christmas 2024.

Chromatic is just the first step, and we are going all in – not just with a console that fully respects the artistic intent of the original game developers, but on the cartridge side as well. We have a huge slate of content coming from some of the best developers in the industry, starting with an all-new physical Tetris cartridge that will come bundled with each and every Chromatic,” said Luckey.
