Game Boy on a Budget: $35 Controller Turns Your Phone into a Retro Handheld

A new handheld gaming controller is available, designed to turn your phone into a Game Boy-inspired device. The Pocket Taco, priced at $35, uses a hinged mechanism that attaches to the bottom half of your smartphone, allowing for access to thumbsticks and other controls. This approach differs from other mobile controllers on the market, which use magnets or sandwiching mechanisms. By providing an easy and affordable way to play retro games without traditional gamepad features, the Pocket Taco is an attractive option for those seeking a budget-friendly handheld gaming experience.
