Retro gaming is cool.

Sure, the PS5 and the Xbox Series X are out now, and they're great and everything, but sometimes you just want to sit down with an old console and relive ye olde days of gaming.

Of course, some people don't just want retro gaming, they want a little more. Some people want something a little fancier.

It's important to note that this isn't a full GBA SP, it's just a case.

It's basically a cosmetic for your real-world tech, and it does look incredibly fancy. What if you want tog et one though? Well, here's what we know so far.
