ModRetro Chromatic Preorders – GameStop Has Exclusive Variant Of The Modernized Game Boy

The ModRetro Chromatic is now available to preorder at GameStop ahead of its release this holiday. The Chromatic is a modernized Game Boy aiming to offer an authentic experience with modern technical advancements. It plays original Game Boy and GBC cartridges as well as Chromatic-branded new releases. Funded by Oculus VR founder Palmer Luckey, the Chromatic has been available to preorder in six different color schemes from ModRetro since its June reveal, but now you can order a gray model from GameStop. You won't find the Chromatic at any other major retailer, as ModRetro partnered exclusively with GameStop.

The ModRetro Chromatic costs $199 and comes bundled with a new Tetris cartridge. According to GameStop's listing, the Chromatic releases December 1, with preorders arriving "on or shortly after release day."

Not including Tetris, seven games will be available at launch, and ModRetro plans on revealing a new cartridge each month. Chromatic cartridges use Game Boy architecture, so they should run without a hitch on original hardware and Analogue Pocket.
