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

The best Zelda game was on it

nintendo bad

For me, it's this.

Super Mario Land
Game & Watch Gallery

>>12087591 (OP)
Just playin Mole Mania DX
Pretty good underrated game

>>12087591 (OP)
doesn't mention donkey kong country.

>>12087686
Yeah, metroid, zelda, mario land 1/2, ...

>>12089627
Legitimately my favourite version of DKC, and Super Mario Bros Deluxe is a killer port too.

>>12087596

Meanwhile the competition had NOTHING

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

switch 2 version blows it outta the water

>>12087591 (OP)
i loved it, here's my childhood collection

BTFOs every other mario platformer on the GB by a mile

>>12091832
Looking forward to the DX romhack coming soon

>>12091810
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 (OP)
I agree GB/GBP/GBC were overhyped, smart kids bought one of the other cart-based portable game consoles, with better games.

>>12087852
not my problem

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.

>>12091827
>pokemon labels half peeled off
every time

>>12091827
based and gameboypilled

What's your favorite game in the DKL trilogy? I gotta go with III.

>>12095174
III's boss fight did not disappoint

you show me another handheld with a nitrous delivery headset peripheral.

gameboy wins every time.

>>12091827
The harry potter games were very solid turn based rpgs

>>12093195
good once if you never

>>12091832
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.

>>12093671
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

>>12087626
I like 1 more than 2, but totally there with you. Gameboy had an awesome library.

>>12095505
Do NOT tell Kanye about this.

I’m playing this on the switch. Do I like it? Maybe. I think I do. It’s strangely comfy.

>>12098276
oops it’s called Sword of Hope

>>12097852
>>12097850
Who is making these screenshots?

>>12098490
Is this game even good?

>>12098612
it's fantastic, but there is a glitch that trivializes it. the buy and sell prices of gems are reversed, so you can have infinite money super easy, and that means you can buy a bunch of levels for your creatures,cutting down grinding times by like a 10th.

>>12092957
No I meant Donkey Kong Country for the GameBoy Colour.

>>12098327
I am

>>12091827
not bad all things considered
