Honestly, I stopped tracking new physical Game Boy releases more than 20 years ago. But with a renewed love for retro gaming came a wonderful discovery: indie developers have kept the Game Boy scene alive and well. This is just the tip of the iceberg!

Forbes · Wait, There’s A New Nintendo Game Boy Color Title Being Released?By Jason Evangelho

Now I REALLY want to get an Analogue Pocket and start collecting a physical Game Boy collection again (long story but my retro console collection is gone).

There are other options I'm aware of like the ModRetro Chromatic, but I'm not sure how to feel about that one.

@killyourfm If not an Analogue Pocket there are some good screen kits to upgrade a legit Game Boy Color, some of which are just drop-in. Same for adding a rechargeable battery with a USB-C slot.

@jenny753 Modding a GBC makes me nervous, but I modded a couple iPod Classics, so maybe I shouldn't be so nervous?

@killyourfm You may already know of them but I'd like to recommend you my 2 favorite Youtube Channels for classic game hardware mods.

First up, "Your Cool Uncle Marisa".

She's done a number of Game Boy Color-related mods including the GB Pocket Color and the Frog Boy Color.
