I never knew this existed wtf
>game boy pocket
oh thats why. fuck nintendo for never making this for dmg, gbc or the original gba. battery hell was torture as a kid, I was mixing and matching batteries to eek out ten more minutes of play time like a third worlder.

I can't imagine anything more cucked than playing a handheld that's plugged into the wall. You're never getting your dignity back after that.

They made ac adaptors for every gameboy, including all the ones you listed..

>>12582982
batteries were pretty cheap in those days. my family was broke af and I don't ever remember batteries preventing me from playing Game Boy.

You thought it would be funny, but it turned out to be quite the opposite.
Here's your (you).

well I never ran into one growing up. wouldve been life changing for me as a kid. I feel robbed. finally getting a charging battery+backlight with the sp was so amazing.

had a Game Gear and a Game Boy and AC adapters for both and the external battery for the Game Gear

battery life on og game boy was good so never felt the need for this. however i did get the power adapter for game gear

What sort of hovel are you living in that doesn't have outlets in the bathroom

Seething AC faggots

if you were a kid then technically why would you even know this was a better deal? Also you're not thinking of the downside of having a cable strapped to your game boy, sure you didn't move from the couch but sometimes moving to a different position or place from the couch that the AC adapter would not have let you.
Finally, perhaps your parents did know about it, but they rather spend a couple of bucks on batteries since they lasted you for a while rather than pay full MSRP for the ac adapter. Sure on the long run they could've saved some money but a couple of bucks here and there didn't seem much to them but the AC adapter would've been a bigger investment even if it was only a one time purchase.
Don't feel guilty you didn't save $40 tops to your parents during your childhood. It was well worth it. Hope you can finally go to sleep tonight anon without this regret carrying on your shoulders.

they even had a portable battery pack for the dmg. i had it but i don't remember using it much.

I lived in a shithole country and had a used Sega Nomad but my mom didn’t want to buy me batteries so I bought a chink AC adapter which didn’t fit well and if I happened to hold the Nomad at the wrong angle everything immediately shut off. I beat several RPGs this way.

The GB Pocket adapter works on the GBC.

This. Racing against the battery drain is part of the experience.
