AYANEO has announced the Retro Power Bank, an accessory for its gaming consoles whose design is anchored in Nintendo nostalgia. AYANEO’s Retro Power Bank is part of the company’s REMAKE series, which also includes the Game Boy-inspired Pocket DMG.
AYANEO presented the Retro Power Bank, one of the many new products introduced during the launch of the REMAKE concept. In a blog post, the company explains that the power bank will be the first of many retro accessories to “provide gamers with a complete retro culture experience.” In addition, the Pocket DMG and Retro Mini PC series were also presented, the details of which we will provide you with separately.
There is no doubt that AYANEO developed the Retro Power Bank with the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (Super NES/SNES) in mind. Not only did the company take the typography directly from Nintendo’s Super NES, but it also incorporated various patterns to highlight the design similarities between the devices. For example, some elements mimic the Super NES’s power and reset buttons, without it being clear whether they are functional or decorative elements.
In addition, AYANEO has arranged the power bank’s USB Type-C ports to match the port arrangement of the Super NES controller. In addition, the Retro Power Bank has a small screen in the cartridge slot that shows the remaining battery level in percent and whether connected devices are actively charging. Unfortunately, we don’t yet know when AYANEO will launch its first power bank and what its maximum capacity and charging rate will be.
