Initially started by selling refurbished retro video games, Thomas, the founder, discovered a community of retro video gaming enthusiasts who enjoy playing on their old, childhood handhelds but at the same time are frustrated by the outdated technology that can make the consoles frustrating to play today. That was when Vetro Gaming pivoted from selling mostly refurbished video games to becoming a startup that enhances the retro video gaming experience through merging modern technology with retro video game handhelds while preserving the nostalgic integrity of the classic consoles.
