Super looking forward to mine. Not long to wait now. ❤ I’m also hoping for Euro/worldwide distribution so that I can impulse purchase some of the new games.
Everyone who has pre-ordered got a nice email yesterday with an update. Everything is currently being packaged and is on the way to the distribution center where it will boxed and posted out. Love that transparency. Not long to go now!

I have build a Funnyplaying FPGBC and use it instead of my OG devices for game developing and playing my GB and GBC carts. It's a great little FPGA kit for a very good prize! But I preordered a Chromatic after hearing about it and after checking the specs. I had to have one! Modretro says they'll be shipped before Christmas.
Has the FunnyPlaying FPGBC passed people by? I have one and it amazing, FPGA and plays original carts. I bought it direct and it was around £60 delivered to the UK.
@@bewater7465 It's borderline garish but I wouldn't say it's hideous. I think they've done just enough so that if you saw one in the wild you'd be able to identify it as a Chromatic and not a Nintendo product.
Important to highlight that this thing is made by Palmer Luckey whose company makes military drones used in warzones. So if you maybe care about not directly rewarding people who contribute to genocides and horrors in our world, don’t buy this thing.
I understand that "war = bad", but supplying your military with the latest weapons and technology is essential to the safety your nation. I feel like people are quick to get on their high horses and put on an act of faux disgust while enjoying the freedoms that a well-equipped military provides them.
C'mon John... You know Palmer is a horrible person... I know you're trying to be objective - but there are so many options that do the same thing and have screens with OSD's that allow you to scale them down to that size.
The problem with the Modretro Chromatic is that it's a fascist's vanity project. I hope it fails and I hope to shame any users IRL about their choice of game boy clone.
If Nintendo themselves just made their old systems again , they would fly off the shelves
Pricy but I’ll end up getting one for nostalgia purposes
I played it back in June on a Retro Game Convention in LA. The weight feels really good. It does have tv output, but it's for streaming software.

@@DaveFallows Yes! I was hoping for the same thing.
@@danc3933 I asked them over email and it’s one of the things on their 2025 roadmap. Let’s see!

It's a Nice christmas present to myself!

John make an analogue pocket vs modretro chromatic vs Funnyboy GB color please? They're all fpga gameboy colors.
I think that if they'd make the screen 50% larger and given it a USB-C rechargeable battery instead of video-out it'd sell like hotcakes.

The Chromatic is like a premium FPGBC
Yep you can even get them pre-assembled now too!
i don’t think i could have come up with a worse name for a product even if i tried….😮
It makes sense as a name. I interpret it as "colourful", which is a very apt name for this console.
The Rectangle thing.
@@djtomoy No matter what it's called, my mum will still call it a Nintendo
What color version are you buying?
@@RogerEssigArtist blue
Design is hideous
so many people disagree with you

I’ll buy 2 in that case.😂

@@danc3933yeah that’s bullcrap, but please do whatever da fuk you want with your tax money and disposable income.
I'm sure Microsoft and Sony are very reputable and have never had a hand in anything related to defence.
Yes awesome right? And it's made in North America 🎉

What a cringey little beta comment, gonna buy one now
Not gonna lie, you have just made me want to buy one, get away with your woke nonsense.
@@RT-bt5ql I thought the public for retro handelds was older. And smarter.
i highly suspect you have zero idea what that word means
why does the founder support Kamala Harris
