One goal. Perfection.
Thank you so much for the community that helped make us.
The original Game Boy, the revolutionary hand-held 8-bit console released April 21, 1989, sold over 118 million consoles worldwide.
For the base console you can choose the Game Boy console in any variety of shell colors or leave the shell completely original as it came from the factory in 1989.
If you choose the stock shell it will be in a used condition and cleaned up. If you choose any other color it will be a brand-new shell, buttons and rubbers made by RetroSix using our very own moulds, to give a completely new appearance like the console is brand-new.
On top of this, if this is a gift or you are a collector you might want to choose the boxed version. The condition of the box varies with stock, but we make sure never to send them with very bad boxes, they are always at least acceptable.
You can rock the original screen if you want the full nostalgia experience, or you can choose to upgrade to a full modern IPS backlit display. The difference is preference but remember if you choose an original screen, you might have forgotten how hard they can be to see compared to a modern screen, with no backlight and poor contrast.
The original audio on the Game Boy is super quiet. Although you can keep it that way, you can also choose to upgrade it with a CleanAmp Pro giving a huge 400% volume boost!

Retro Enthusiast
RetroSix is a family run business led by Luke, who has been in the gaming industry and retail business since 2013, and sold consoles, controllers and even designed our own controllers and consoles.
We repair and upgrade consoles while showing them off on our social channels such as TikTok.
We sell products for restoring your own consoles should you wish to do it yourself, including many of our own hardware we design and manufacture in-house.
Finally, we print directly onto products to create unique one-off designs of things like Game Boys, Game Gears and anything that has a relatively flat surface we can print on. Checkout our Printed Products sections to buy some or design your very own.
We started RetroSix not as a mass market business, instead with the aim of perfection. Recreating moulds of original shells, casting them from quality ABS, redesigning hardware such as power supplies, USB-C, audio and more, to upgrade your consoles to the highest quality available. No cheap junk sold for profit.
Partners
We believe partnering with other likeminded companies is a great way to help each other out and ultimately make products that are better for the end consumer.
Of course, we sell and ship worldwide direct from source if you would like to purchase direct from anywhere in the world.
