It’s not unheard of for developers to release games for older consoles, but this right here might take the cake. Retro publisher Incube8 and game developer 7FH is releasing a brand-new game for the OG Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance.
So, yeah, if you miss gaming on your battery-hogging Game Boy, you’ll soon have a new reason to play it. Called Genesis, the game was developed using the GBDK dev kit. It’s your classic (literally) top-down shoot ’em up and it features four levels, multiple power-ups, and boss battles.
You can check out the trailer below:
The game is available for pre-order, for the confusing amount of $44.99. While I understand that very retro appeal and niche market, that is still a tough price to swallow.
Regardless, if you are a retro gaming fan and miss playing your Game Boy, then you can pre-order the game now, with pre-orders lasting until June 7.
