This is a full-sized backpack, not a mini or cute little thing. There's no reason in the world why the title of this listing should say "for boys." I mean, come on people, anyone of any gender or age can be a gamer. Besides, this is a retro GameBoy reference, that's for us Gen X folks, not kids! It's not the most sturdy or well-made, but it's cute and fun and I (not a boy in any way) will carry it for local travel and cuteness. Read more

This gaming backpack is sturdy and durable, it’s large in size and the material is thick. It has a lot of space and pockets for books and pencils etc, it’s also waterproof and comfortable on the shoulders with its thick straps. My grandson loves it! Read more

This bag isn't even nice. I guess by the pictures and the hefty price you, like I did, assume it's gonna be great. Once you see that you have wasted $35, you will be disappointed since you were expecting more. It's just average, even below average. The quality construction you expect isn't there. When opening the main compartment the zipper snagged twice. Then again upon closing the bag. As you will see in a picture, the hadle to carry the backpack is so small and tight I really couldnt get my fingers in to carry it. (1 am 120 lb woman) There are two outside mesh pockets and a flap inside, that's it. The interior sleeve/flap is paper thin. The material doesn't look or feel durable. Plus, if you believed like they said there is a leather front? It doesn't even have a thick vinyl front. I have my doubts on durability, once my 9 year old grandson gets it. He carries a lot of heavy books and lunch and school supplies. I now worry they all won't fit, or the bag is not durable enough to hold them. Not to mention he won't be able to get his hand in the handle to carry it. Hopefully the back straps will bear the weight instead. As I said, right out of the gate, I had high hopes. However, it has failed me. Even the gaming picture and controls are poor quality images. Unless you are buying this backpack for a young child to carry toys, etc. I personally wouldn't make such an investment in this pack, You will be greatly disappointed. 2 Stars Read more

My grandson will love this backpack! The front is a very cool design and the raised rubber control buttons are a neat touch. The straps are thick and quite padded to keep it comfortable. With multiple compartments, it has plenty of space inside for folders, papers, books and supplies. The material feels tough and like it could take the beating of a school aged kiddo. It's very well made and also has an easy carry handle on top. It seems pretty perfect until you get to the price. Maybe I've just been out of the loop for too long but the price seems high. Aside from that, I'd say it seems like a great backpack for your gamer! Read more

The media could not be loaded. Very cute, throwback reference, full-size backpack. It is lightweight and the material is not very thick and strong so it would not suit or last very long if used to carry heavy load for long periods. It is however, sturdy enough for everyday use, just not with too heavy a load. Younger kids should find it fun and exciting to have Read more

The media could not be loaded. This backpack is a winner for any elementary school student, especially a boy who loves gaming! The quality is nicely made and sturdy enough for daily use. We were immediately impressed by the vibrant colors and the cool, detailed design that makes it look like a retro remote control—a neat touch! It’s perfectly sized for younger kids, providing enough storage for basic use without being too bulky. A major plus is the inclusion of cup holders on each side, which is great for water bottles and extra convenience. Overall, the details are well thought out, making this a practical and super fun choice. Highly recommend it! Read more

The media could not be loaded. I got this backpack for my son, and he really likes it. The video game design looks awesome, and the leather front panel gives it a nice touch while making it easy to wipe clean. It’s the perfect size for school — fits his books, folders, and lunch box with no problem. The pockets are well organized, so he can keep everything neat and easy to find. The straps are padded and comfortable, and the zippers work smoothly. It’s sturdy, looks great, and has plenty of room for everything he needs for school. Read more
