Nostalgia gaming is being supported by a slew of new innovations being developed that make use of old-fashioned technology like game cartridges, which is exactly what the case is with the My Arcade Retro Champ.

Positioned as a [portable gaming console](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atari-gamestation-go), the system is capable of playing [NES](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro-pixel-pocket) and [Famicom](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/8bitdo-retro-108) cartridges to let players enjoy a round of nostalgic gaming whenever they desire. The unit features a built-in seven-inch display that will allow users to play without the need for an external TV or display, but can also be hooked up to one when gaming from home for added convenience.

The My Arcade Retro Champ console will provide up to five hours of gaming per charge of the internal battery and also comes with an integrated cartridge cleaning kit.
