# Gaming-Inspired Luggage The Travel Boy Carry On Luggage is Perfect for Retro Gamers By Thomas Wade-West | Published 2013-09-27 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/travel-boy References: [gizmodiva](http://gizmodiva.com/fashion/tetris-suitcase.php) The Game Boy was a revolutionary breakthrough in handheld gaming technology; the Travel Boy Game Boy luggage case is a revolutionary breakthrough in travelling. Travelling with a standard suitcase screams "boring," but travelling with a luggage bag with a Game Boy on it is basically the most fun thing you can do. For fans of [retro gaming](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobile-boy), this seems pretty commonsensical. This luggage case features the original standard grey shell and entire layout -- complete with buttons and d-pad. The actual luggage case comes complete with handle and four wheels in case you're interested in just rolling it around upright. The bag is durable and lightweight; the interior features fully lined zippered dividers and a zippered pouch for chargers or small gadgets (like a Game Boy). Check out the Travel Boy Game Boy online now, selling for $70. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.8/10 - Popularity: 7% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Life](https://www.trendhunter.com/life) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Retro Gaming-inspired Luggage:** Opportunity for luggage companies to tap into the nostalgia of retro gaming and create innovative travel products with iconic gaming designs. - **Nostalgic Gaming Accessories:** Potential for manufacturers to develop nostalgic gaming accessories and merchandise that appeal to the growing market of retro gaming enthusiasts. - **Customizable Travel Gear:** Demand for customizable luggage and travel gear that allows consumers to showcase their personal interests and preferences through unique designs. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Luggage Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for luggage manufacturers to incorporate gaming-inspired designs and create a new segment in the market. - **Gaming Accessories:** Opportunity for gaming accessory companies to expand their product offerings by introducing retro gaming-themed travel accessories and merchandise. - **Personalization and Customization:** Potential for companies specializing in personalized and customizable products to enter the travel gear market and offer unique customization options for luggage and travel accessories. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Building Block-Inspired Suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-luggage.md) - [Collaborative Cartoon Suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/globetrotter-x-disney-carryon-case.md) - [Video Game Travel Merchandise](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nintendo-super-mario-travel-items.md) - [Toy Brick-Inspired Luggage Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trolley-and-backpack-set.md) - [Timepiece-Inspired Suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casio-aeroease.md) - [Demure Secret Agent Suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/globetrotter-x-007-graphite-grey-carryon.md) - [Foldable Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/game-boy-flip-concept.md) - [Customizable Backpack-Style Suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roller-travel-bag.md) - [Vibrant Retro Handheld Gaming](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pocket-classic.md)
