More than 600 million smartphone and tablet owners use their devices to play games. In the United States alone, an estimated 99 percent of boys and 94 percent of girls play video games with 97 percent playing at least one hour per day. The revenue from the video game industry topped $25 billion dollars in 2010 alone (compared to Hollywood’s box office sales of $10.8 billion for the U.S. and Canada) and video games have become an important part of popular culture.

According to what is published by Romeo Vitelli Ph.D on psychology today ,The Dutch researchers suggest that not only do the newer video games provide young people with compelling social, cognitive, and emotional experiences, they also can potentially boost mental health and well-being.

The Game Boy is an 8-bit handheld video game device developed and manufactured by Nintendo. It was released in Japan on April 21, 1989, in North America on July 31, 1989, and in Europe on September 28, 1990.
The Nintendo brand has been very popular since it first released the Game Boy in 1989. When the Game Boy Advance Micro (GBA Micro) was released in 2005, it was considered to be one of the world’s leading portable gaming consoles. Although there are other brands of portable consoles now available, the GBA Micro is still a highly respected gaming console for avid gamers

So developers in Los Angeles have designed a case that adds the iconic directional arrows, plus the A and B buttons, from the Nintendo Game Boy to an iPhone.

The case is called Smart Boy, the attachment also lets gamers play their existing Game Boy and Game Boy Color games cartridges on their Apple handset..

The Smart Boy was originally announced earlier this week as an apparent April Fools’ joke, but is now set to become a real thing due to the strong response to its reveal.

“A lot of you were speculating that the Smart Boy is an April Fools’ Joke. Well, it sort of was,” Hyperkin wrote on its Facebook page. “We ‘leaked’ it with the initial intent of testing the market, seeing whether or not it should be something we’d actually make, under the guise of an April Fools’ Joke.
According to a press release, Hyperkin’s product developer Chris Gallizzi said: ‘We wanted to create a retro device that can be easily adapted into any modern gamer’s arsenal of devices.’
He continued that the Smart Boy will come in the classic ’80s grey’, with more colours to follow.

How its works

At the moment the Smart Boy is ‘in early conceptual development stages’ and is only being designed to work with the iPhone 6 Plus, in the first instance.
Plug your iPhone 6 Plus (and, in the future, other smartphones) into the Smart Boy and it’ll allow you to play Game Boy and Game Boy Colors cartridges. The Smart Boy is equipped with the standard Game Boy set of buttons, while the phone’s screen is used to display the game. The Smart Boy has a built-in battery that can be charged by the phone; with a 6 Plus, gameplay is said to last for five hours
