Wireless Game Boy multiplayer without a link cable... or a Game Boy. The VMUPro is much more than just a modern replacement for the Dreamcast controller; it allows for managing saves over WiFi, has a whopping 2TB of storage, and can also run emulators.

Yes, you can run 8-bit emulators on your 8BitMods VMUPro, using it to play Tetris, Pokémon, Golf, Amazing Tater, and much more. And very soon, you can hook them up for wireless gameplay with a friend.

Playing Tetris wirelessly on modern VMUs is just wild, as is trading and battling Pokémon between devices. It makes for a proper pocketable gaming experience that, while a little small, means you can have an 8-bit challenge with a friend anytime, anywhere.

All we know is that the new feature is coming soon, so make sure to follow 8BitMods and check back here for more information as and when it's available!
