From AYANEO:

AYANEO, a leading innovator in handheld gaming, today announced the launch of two new retro-inspired handhelds: the AYANEO Pocket DMG and the AYANEO Pocket MICRO. These handhelds showcase AYANEO's deep understanding of retro gaming culture and commitment to pushing the boundaries of what a retro handheld can be.

AYANEO's Game Boy, and Game Boy Micro-inspired devices are both live on Indiegogo. The Pocket DMG (the Game Boy one) starts at $339, while the Pocket Micro starts at $189. The prices for both devices go up to $499 and $249, respectively. Remember that these are Early Bird prices only valid during the Indiegogo-campaign.

I'm especially intrigued by the Pocket DMG, as I have strong nostalgic feelings for the vertical form factor, while I know Chris is especially into the Pocket Micro.
