r/ModRetroChromatic

I’m loving the quality of the hardware and the games! Got a blue chromatic and Chantey and am so impressed with everything (including the shipping prices). Am wondering though, how often - if at all - do games on the Modretro store go on sale? I can’t afford to buy enough games at a time to get the 10-25% discount.

Thanks everyone! Also, I’d love recommendations for the best chromatic originals or incube8 originals.

I’m a Tetris fan. I tried ModRetro Tetris rom in Analogue Pocket from a Russian website. I love it. So many options to tweak.

I don’t want to buy one more handheld. I wonder why ModRetro doesn’t sell it as a separate game cartridge like their new release.

Any opinions on what is the better game? Both are rated 4.9 out of 5 for Modretro reviews.

Thanks all! I ordered Buck for now and will maybe buy Croc 2 at some point in the future.

Did anyone get the email today and not get an early bird discount code? I def signed up for the early bird email notifications and in the email I received today it said the code would be included but it wasn’t there.

With the news today/yesterday that Sony is ending all future disc production for Playstation consoles and also closing the PS Vita and PS3 online stores it, companies like Modretro become all the more important. Companies that value physical game releases.

Personally I'm not going to ever buy a Playstation device again for the rest of my life.

Hi everyone. I finally got my replacement Chromatic in the mail the other day (customer service was amazing btw), and let me be honest: these past couple days have left me feeling like a kid in the late 90s again! The Gameboy Color was my first console as a kid and while I love all of the advancements gaming/technology has made between then and now, there is something oddly comforting about buying a completely offline portable console that requires you to commit yourself to just a few self-contained experiences (been jumping between Link's Awakening and Pokemon Prism atm) rather than always trying to navigate between the vastness of my Steam/Switch backlogs or doom scrolling on my phone during my free time.

Anyways, since I'm new to the scene, I was wondering how often ModRetro announces/releases games on the Chromatic? I picked up a handful of their games on their website and few others on Incube8 (super excited to try Dragonyhm and Infinity since I'm a big JRPG guy), but I was curious how often new games get released through ModRetro's website. Is it something like a new release every 3 months, a batch each quarter of the year, or is it just random drops throughout the year?

And when Modretro does decide to release games, how do they get announced? Is it shadow drop thing or is revealed on their social media pages a few weeks ahead of time?

Thanks in advance! I'm excited to finally be part of the community and experience this little renaissance of Game Boy games. Looking forward to seeing what comes next, and hopefully, not spending too much money on cartridges.

A few months ago I couldn't decide between Wave and Midnight, and asked here for advice. Thanks to everyone who responded. I shelved the purchase for a couple of months until I was fully ready to commit. The time had finally come - and a Midnight Sapphire was my choice.

And just now I got snagged during checkout with "The product in your cart is not available for delivery to your location. Change delivery address or empty cart and return to store".

From the 'Country' drop down there's no NZ. Australia yes, New Zealand nope.

Heartbroken :( ...

Any chance of a blue light/night filter, do we think?

Useful for before bed!

Does the Modretro version add any new features/content or have there been any worthwhile updates (or any planned in future) that would make the Modretro version superior?
