The Android-based Apple Watch Ultra clone has been combined with a gaming controller by a Redditor to run a Game Boy emulator and play retro games, creating a unique portable retro console experience. This showcases the potential of the Android platform in achieving unconventional gaming setups.
Android flagship devices are typically sufficient for most gaming needs, but for those who desire a more immersive gaming experience, there are alternative options available. One such option is to explore gaming phones that are specifically designed for gaming, or to enhance gameplay by connecting a game controller to your phone. In a unique approach, one Reddit user decided to combine a smartwatch with a game controller to create a makeshift portable gaming console.
A Reddit user named R3V3RB_7 attached an Android-based smartwatch to a DualSense-like Bluetooth gaming controller. The smartwatch was specifically an Apple Watch Ultra clone that runs full Android instead of Wear OS. They then used the My Boy! GBA emulator app to play Castlevania – Aria of Sorrow on the setup. The result was a convincingly portable retro console with a small screen experience, but with improved handheld ergonomics.
The comparison between the smartwatch gaming experience and that of a Game Boy Advance may bring about feelings of nostalgia. Even though the Game Boy Advance has a larger screen size at 2.9 inches compared to the smartwatch's 1.93-inch display, the smartwatch provides a unique way to enjoy retro gaming through Android, emulators, and Bluetooth game controllers. Surprisingly, the emulator and games perform well on the smartwatch despite its seemingly limited power.
