Looking back, the gameboy is overhyped. Peoples nostalgia for pokemon blinds them to the truth

The best Zelda game was on it

Legitimately my favourite version of DKC, and Super Mario Bros Deluxe is a killer port too.

Yep.

You're fucking retarded. That handheld was revolutionary. Cheap, had an amazing library, ran for fucking ever on batteries unlike the lynx or gamegear. Batteries weren't cheap back then and this was a very real issue.
There are so many great games for the console it's legitimately insane. How are there so many good games on something so simple and with so many hardware constraints? It was straight up magic.
Play more of the gameboy library and stop being an idiot.

It has the best versions of Dragon Warrior on it, as well as Final Fantasy games that weren't even Final Fantasy but still better than most Final Fantasys

Not retro.
I've been waiting for 1+2 to come out later this month so I can do the whole trilogy at once
>>
>>12091810
>switch 2 version
I thought the SNES versions of the original trilogy are widely considered to be the best
>>
>>12091827
sick Mirror's Edge edition GBA
>>
>>12092475
thanks, i wanted the pikachu one but this was on special at target for 150 instead of 200
>>
what were the better handheld options at the time? i'll wait.
>>
>>12092562
game gear, lynx, the list goes on
>>
>>12092831
roflcopter, not with that battery life and those tiny game libraries; this is an opinion of someone that's only emulated these systems
>>
>>12092906
as if anyone still plays on an original unmodded game boy with the shitty green ghosting screen
>>
>>12092916
correct, and in this modern environment the library is unmatched when compared to its peers, even without pokemon or tetris.
>>
>>12089709
>my favourite version of DKC
I hope to god you mean 2 and not land
>>
>>12087591
I agree GB/GBP/GBC were overhyped, smart kids bought one of the other cart-based portable game consoles, with better games.

I don't see the appeal of retro in general.
Just wait for a remake on switch or mobile if it was any good.
>>
>>12091810
The HD 2D dragon quest games are so soulless that it fucking hurts. The artstyle is straight up TRASH. But you know that already.

good once if you never

I wish I bought this. I normally only like long fuckin games with a story but something like this would be just as enjoyable to me as game and watch gallery was.
>>
>>12095174
3. That yellow cartridge and I had no snes so this was just as good in many ways.

it felt so satisfying to dig my claws into the label and have only the part i was scratching peel off, as opposed to the sticker on the back of the game boy, heaven protect you from the shivers that would come if you accidentally glanced your nails off that thing
