Recently, modder Hairo Satoh has created a remarkable prototype—Game Boy Advance Cube—which offers the integration of nostalgic controllers (such as Famicom and SNES), Game Boy Advance Games, and a Game Boy Advance SP screen.

With slots for retro controllers directly integrated into the design, this device preserves gamers’ muscle memory from older consoles. Imagine combining your favorite Game Boy Advance games with classic controllers in a compact form factor?


Which controller compatibility do you hope he addds next?

    Why would I want to have a larger controller on a game boy sp? It is so perfect the way it is

    I’ve come across a few of your posts today, and you always end the post with:

    Which ______ do you hope ___ addds _____?

    And I thought that was a little weird. Looked at your profile, and you’re a retailer? Is this market research?

      Yes, K-TEC UK is a retailer. No, this isn’t market research. We’re posting news that we hope the retro-gaming community will find interesting.

      It’s possible that I may have fallen into a pattern when it comes to the way I phrase the question at the end; but I don’t know what happened to my “d” key today…

        Ha! I didn’t even clock the extra “d”!
        No drama, was just curious. Happy to have more gaming news being posted, and glad you’re not running a poorly covered research scheme 🤣

        Keep it up 👍

    My problem with all of these is they end up being top-heavy and uncomfortable to hold

    So, he modded a GBA either to accept control input from modded controllers, or he stuffed a SBC emulator with two USB-C ports into a GBA case.

    Pretty cool, and a clever concept to work towards, but hardly revolutionary. I wouldn’t be “drooling” until it was past prototype stage and didn’t look like a it was stuck together with a piece of tape or that a single bump on the train would snap the ports right off those control pads.
