Super Impulse Micro Arcade
Arduboy’s evolution took a major step forward when the core design of the MicroCard was licensed to Super Impulse, enabling the platform to reach a broader audience through mass-market retail.
Building on the original open-source, credit-card–sized handheld concept, Super Impulse developed their own hardware implementations inspired by the Arduboy architecture and form factor, expanding the vision to carry officially licensed arcade classics like Space Invaders, Asteroids, Frogger, and many more.
The collaboration demonstrated that a minimalist, developer-friendly micro-console could scale beyond its indie roots, bridging open hardware innovation with globally recognized gaming IP and bringing the spirit of retro play to store shelves around the world.
