However, with the rise of mobile phones and advanced video game consoles like the Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Steam Deck, the simplistic handheld game system is a thing of the past.

But there was something soul-satisfying about playing a traditional 8-Bit Game Boy game in the palms of your hands. Whether it was Super Mario Bros. or one of the Pokemon games, the feeling was amazing.

So how does one go about replicating that feeling in the modern video game era? Well, you get an emulation handheld, and there is one that captivated me right off the bat.

The PocketGo S30 is a Super Nintendo-themed handheld video game console that can play everything from Game Boy to PS1 titles. No, this isn’t a miniaturized game console, this is an emulation machine.
