Just when you thought the tech world had run out of ideas, behold the Banana-Bit! This banana-shaped marvel is not just a gimmick; it’s a legit, Game Boy-inspired handheld console that’ll have you gaming and snacking at the same time (not recommended, but still).
Released on April Fool’s Day 2025, you might be forgiven for thinking this was all a clever prank. But nope! Kevin Bates has cooked up a fruity twist on the beloved Arduboy, featuring six capacitive buttons that let you mash away with glee and three OLED screen sizes—0.96, 1.3, and 2.42 inches—so you can choose the perfect blend of pixelated nostalgia and eyeball strain.
And for those asking the burning question: Yes, it can play all your favorite Arduboy games. Plus, it’s the first version sporting a headphone jack, because who wouldn’t want to rock out while saving pixelated worlds? Pre-orders are live for $39 to $59, with shipments dropping in May 2025 like a perfectly ripe banana. Get ready for some serious retro gaming vibes, folks!
Just be careful not to slip on that peel! What’s next in gaming innovation: a grapefruit joystick or just a lot more weirdness?
