About Us

Retrolize are a UK based team of retro gamers, modders and hardware obsessives who believe classic gaming deserves better than being left in a cupboard, buried under dust, dead capacitors and tired old screens.

Our mission is simple: modernise the retro gaming experience without stripping away what made these consoles special in the first place. We restore, upgrade, repair and supply high-quality retro gaming hardware, parts, mods and accessories that bring classic systems up to speed with the way people actually play today.

Our slogan, “Dragging the past kicking and screaming into the present,” sums us up perfectly. We love original hardware, but we also know it was never designed to last forever. Screens fade, capacitors leak, shells crack, batteries die and old video outputs do not always play nicely with modern TVs. That is where Retrolize comes in.

Based in South East London, United Kingdom, we offer a carefully selected range of retro gaming products for Nintendo, Sega, Sony and other classic systems. From restored and upgraded Game Boy consoles to modern handheld emulation devices, HDMI adapters, wireless controller solutions, replacement parts, shells, buttons, screens, capacitors, batteries and console mods, our aim is to make retro gaming easier, cleaner and better to use in the modern world.

We specialise in upgraded handheld consoles, including Nintendo Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Game Boy Advance SP and Sega Game Gear systems. Our upgrade options include OLED / IPS screens, rechargeable battery kits, audio improvements, speaker upgrades, capacitor replacement, replacement shells, buttons, membranes and other practical improvements designed to make original hardware feel sharper, brighter and more reliable.

We also stock mods and accessories for home consoles such as the Nintendo 64, GameCube, Super Nintendo, Mega Drive, Dreamcast, Sega Saturn, PlayStation 1 and PlayStation 2. Whether you are looking for cleaner video output, wireless controller support, replacement power solutions, optical drive emulators / alternatives, storage adapters or restoration parts, we focus on products that actually improve the experience rather than just filling shelves.

Every product we stock is chosen with quality, reliability and usefulness in mind. We are not interested in vague listings, overblown claims or mystery devices packed with thousands of badly organised games. We believe in honest descriptions, proper testing, clear advice and aftercare that actually helps.

Alongside our products, we also offer console restoration and repair services, helping bring tired, faulty and well-used hardware back to life. Whether it needs a recap, a screen upgrade, a charging solution, a shell refresh, audio work or a full clean and rebuild, we treat classic consoles with the care they deserve.

Retrolize is here for collectors, players, tinkerers and anyone who wants to enjoy classic gaming hardware without the hassle that often comes with ageing electronics. Whether you are upgrading a childhood console, building the ultimate handheld, repairing a system you thought was finished or picking up a ready-to-play device, we are here to help.

Thanks for choosing Retrolize. The past was brilliant, but with the right upgrades, it can be even better today.
