When I was a kid, there was nothing I enjoyed more than playing my GameBoy on road trips or (covertly) under the covers after lights out. Nowadays, we take portable gaming technology for granted, but if you ever get the itch to revisit those memories from childhood, there’s an entire market of incredible retro gaming devices to explore. What’s more, the vast majority of these devices are on sale during Prime Day, and I’ve dropped a selection of my favorite offers into this guide.
The picks below range from traditional Android phone controllers with retro designs to all-in-one emulator machines and throwback consoles. I’ll even throw in a few discounted arcade machines, just for kicks.
Just keep in mind that the vast majority of offers below will only be available to Prime members. Haven’t signed up yet? Amazon is offering a 30-day free trial that lets you shop Prime Day deals without paying a cent. The big sale ends at midnight on June 26th, however, so don’t wait too long if something catches your eye!
What time does Prime Day end?
Amazon Prime Day is scheduled to wrap up on Friday, June 26th at 11:59pm PT, but that doesn’t mean that some deals won’t sell out before the sale ends. If you missed the main event (or your desired item is out of stock), check Walmart and Best Buy before you throw in the towel. Both of those retailers are running major sale events through Sunday night.
