"The ModRetro Chromatic is essentially a modern reimagining of the Game Boy Color, a handheld console that itself was a major upgrade over the original Game Boy. Where Nintendo's classic handheld had a lightweight plastic shell and a simple color display, the Chromatic takes the same form factor and infuses it with a premium, collector-grade feel. Its magnesium alloy body gives it a solid, durable build that feels far more substantial than its 1998 predecessor."
"While the Chromatic maintains the original 160 x 144 resolution, its OLED display is worlds apart from the Game Boy Color's panel. OLED technology delivers rich contrast, vivid colors, and deep blacks, making pixel art pop with a crispness and vibrancy that was unimaginable in the '90s. It's still true to the original aesthetic, but it's presented in a way that flatters both nostalgia and modern expectations."
The Chromatic reimagines the Game Boy Color with modern materials and display technology while preserving the original form factor and resolution. The handheld uses a magnesium alloy body for a premium, durable feel and offers a wider palette of color finishes, including bold blue, green, yellow, orange, and pink alongside retro white and gray. The 160x144 resolution is retained but presented on an OLED panel that provides richer contrast, vivid colors, and deep blacks, enhancing pixel-art clarity. The device supports the full library of original Game Boy and Game Boy Color cartridges and will also have ModRetro-produced cartridges.
