Game boy was more important for gaming to go mainstream than NES/Mario ever wasyou plumbersexuals need to stfu!
gameboy tetris is the only game i ever saw my dad play
mario land bros, we have confirmation...
Makes sense. Billions of people play mobile games, but the "real" gamers who grew up with computers or consoles refuse to even aknowledge them.
>>11994474What are you, a tetrissexual?
Thanks satoru okada the real creator of the GameBoy
>>11994515Pokemon and Tetris were the 2 games that united kids/casuals/hardcore gaymers. Mario is a distant 3rd place.

It's funny how zoomers coming of age has seemingly increased retrogamer and collector focus on the GameBoy (and presumably other old handhelds). Don't get me wrong, millennials and Gen Xers liked them, but they typically viewed them as the cheap little brother to home console games.
Why so sexist??
ZX Spectrum was more pprtamt arghhh
>>11994568You old niggas are obsessed with zoomers.Game boy was at it's most popular in the late 90s. 90% of Zoomers weren't even born when this shit was popular, we barely even remember when GBA was hot. Zoomers were growing up with DS and PSP and that's what they are nostalgic for.Gameboy is still talked about because millennial kids had an autistic fixation on Game boy and Pokemon, the latter of which thankfully died down over the years.No one under the age of 27 cares about Game boy, Pokemon, etc
>>11994559So, unemployed?
>>11994689>No one under the age of 27 cares about Game boy, Pokemon, etcMaximum delusion, especially Pokemon.
>>11994689>No one under the age of 27 cares about Pokemonhave you considered not consuming fentanyl?
>>11994474did you seriously photoshop that picture to make the gameboy look like a modern degraded screen?
>>11996263>have you considered not consuming fentanyl?Once you tried it, there's no turning back.
>>11996273>this shit forced meme that doesn't seem to workgo away zoomie.
>>11996273Whenever I find an old photo of someone playing SMB, I photoshop the sky so it looks blue instead of purple.
you're right; all accessable platforms are. that's a good thing.
Yeah, I'm a plumbersexual, I be laying pipe left and right.
Charging people $70 for a Gameboy and $35 to play shit like this in 1995 was criminal How the fuck nintendo got away with it?
>>11997507>1. The economy was a LOT stronger at the time, the dollar was worth more and things were much cheaper in general.>2. The Game Boy was actually fairly inexpensive (compare to Lynx & Game Gear, which were like three times the price), Nintendo outright sold the thing at a cost as time went.>3. The Game Boy lasted almost 30 hours on four AA batteries (compare again to Game Gear, which couldn't get even half that long on six AA batteries).>4. The Game Boy had a very strong library, there were all kinds of games for the thing and there were good ones too.>.5 You cannot make me dislike old Nintendo games.Now bend over so I can lay some pipe, cakeboy.
>>11997507>1995it was around $100 or so in '89/90. they got away with it purely because of tetris. people tolerated it. then people started releasing accessories for it. if you think that's criminal, the original gameboy advance had no backlit display and was even worse to look at.
>>11997996>The Game Boy lasted almost 30 hours on four AA batteriesthat's complete fucking horseshit. you were lucky to get more than 5 hours of constant play before the brightness and volume starts to fade before the unit switches off. 30 hours would be having the screen brightness and volume switched off. >Now bend over so I can lay some pipe, cakeboy.we all know your dick is so tiny that we'd need an electron microscope to confirm that it actually exists. fuck off, faggot.
>>11998929>5 hours >for a gameboyHey zoomie
>>11998935>nooooo! why won't anyone believe my compulsive lying!i had one in 1990 and still have the same unit. you weren't even born then. lmao. what's it like trying to pretend you're and old fag? must be devastating to be part of a generation that was born with minecraft and probably will die with minecraft? fuck off retard. you morons on this board will make up all kinds of fantasy stories but have never owned shit.
>>11994571>GAME CHILDKek.
Gee, I wonder why Nintendo wanted to go back to handhelds so bad they turned the home console into one.
>>11998929I'm sorry that your anus was permanently enlarged, little man, but you were simply asking for it.Maybe you have unresolved childhood trauma about being bullied or something, but you cannot make people stop loving the Game Boy. Sorry.>>11998937All I hear is your loose anus flapping in the wind.
>>11999079I wish they had just gone for a proper console (even if compact) and then continued the DS line further. I used to think the Nomad was the coolest fucking thing (and it's still kinda cool, Sega's hardware aesthetic was badass), but the giant handheld formfactor is just not pleasant. The Switch is not fun to handle, and I don't have the huge pockets to fit one in, the Steamdeck and Asus ones aren't much more appealing on that point (though you wouldn't need to deal with some of nu-Nintendo's faggotry).The Game Boys and DSs could slip into my pockets without issue, I miss that. Just carry a small system discreetly, and which had a long battery life because having the most cutting edge graphics ever wasn't that big of a deal.I don't want to use my phone for that, because I'm never satisfied with any smartphone ever, and I don't expect whatever gamepad kludge I would need to emulate on my phone to not be completely shit.
>>11994474You say it as if normiefication of gaming was good (It isn't)And the merit for total nerdoid secret club death goes for PSX and PS2.
