Ever heard of Smart Boy? Or Hyperkin? retrogaming an accessory manufacturer recently announced the Smart Boy on April Fool’s Day.

The Smart Boy is ultimately a new age Game Boy compatible device for the iPhone 6 Plus( more smartphones will follow this list but initially it is just the iPhone 6). The concept of the Smart Boy is such that it will attach to the iPhone 6 Plus and turn the phone into a ready to play handheld gaming device which is compatible with Game Boy and Game Boy Colour cartridges
