Check out this and other videos on YouTube, simply typing “game gripper” into the search bar  – and you will see your smartphone, and this is the case to say that it is really smart, turning into a Game Boy!

Remember when you used to play Super Mario Bros and other historical games for kids – that A, B, C colourful buttons on the right and the direction buttons on left, forming a grey cross –just thinking of that makes me miss it!

Now some handsets manufacturers give you the chance to relive that experience as grown-ups, without buying a new Game Boy or trying to resume your old ones, which are probably still running with batteries.

How does that work? If you have one of the following phones – ’till now Nokia N900, Motorola Backflip or Devour, or a Droid – you can now purchase a game grip, nothing else than a rubber piece with buttons on it and attach it to your phone, shifting it onto the keyboard.

The result is grand: your phone looks like a Game Boy and works exactly as such! As shown in the video, the round buttons as well as the directions buttons work properly – and you do not have to be afraid of running out of power: the grip has in fact two holes at the side, namely a charge port and a phone jack.

 So what are you waiting for – when technology is so much fun, just go for it!
