6 Things You Didn’t Know About Game Boy (in text form)
6. In 1998, Nintendo released an accessory for the Game Boy called the Game Boy Camera. The Game Boy Camera took black-and-white pictures with a resolution of 256x224. The Camera could work in conjunction with the Game Boy Printer to allow users to take photos and print them out. The camera itself was actually a digital camera. In the 1999 copy of Guinness World Records, the Game Boy Camera was declared the world’s smallest digital camera. The record has since been broken, obviously.
5. Following World War 2, things between Japan and Korea weren’t exactly peaceful. As a result, Korea would eventually not allow products to be imported from Japan, but Nintendo still wanted to sell the Game Boy there. So, they licensed it out to Hyundai, who sold it in Korea under the name Mini Comboy.
4. The last Game Boy game to be released was Pokemon Yellow, which was released in the United States on October 19, 1999. Further games for the Game Boy were released, but they were referred to as Game Boy Color games as they could be played on both the Game Boy and Game Boy Color.
3. In 1993, Soviet cosmonaut Aleksandr Serebrov took his Game Boy into space with him on his 194 day long mission to MIR space station. After he returned to Earth, the Game Boy was actioned off for $1,220. It is rumored that Serebrov’s Gameboy orbited around the Earth more than 3000 times.
2. The Super Game Boy was an add-on for the Super Nintendo that allowed you to play Game Boy games on your SNES. However, the SNES wasn’t actually powerful enough to emulate Game Boy games. As a result, the Super Game Boy contained all of the internal components of the Game Boy itself, except the screen.
1. In 1996, Blizzard released Diablo, and it was quickly met with rave reviews. Following Diablo’s successful launch, they started secretly developing a portable version of Diablo called Diablo Junior, which was planned to be released on the Game Boy Color or Game Boy Advance, but the only known versions of the game are on the Game Boy, and is an early prototype. The original idea was do something similar to Pokemon, releasing 3 versions of the game, each featuring a different playable class. The costs of developing such a game for the Game Boy were high, and the project was ultimately abandoned.
