Support NeoGAF

[MRORANGE]

I mean just use the design of the original into a gameboy pocket size design with innards of a gameboy color system and you will get something like this:

Include 30 or so games built in with working GB slot for your own game cartridges and price it at $129 | £99

recommendations to include:

Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow
Pokemon Silver/Gold/Red
Zelda Link's Awakening DX
Both Zelda Capcom games
Super Mario Land 1 & 2
Tetris
Dr Mario
Kirby's Dream Land
Metroid ”
Wario Land
Donkey Kong
Pokemon Trading Card Game
Metal Gear GB
Alleway

 

[DukeLongfellow]

If they included just Pokemon and the ability to trade/battle, that would be insane on its own.

 

[McDougles]

Or Nintendo could truly support mobile by bringing GBC/GBA games to mobile phones.

 

[MRORANGE]

Or Nintendo could truly support mobile by bringing GBC/GBA games to mobile phones.

Nah.

 

[jessterfer]

I dont think I would really want it to be any smaller than a gameboy color, but i like the idea of pre loaded games, especially since a lot of those cartridge batteries are dying.

 

[Afrocious]

And nobody would ever see a physical one.

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

You wanna talk about nostalgia... I might actually kill someone to acquire one of these if it came down to it.

 

[krae_man]

Something Arduboy sized would be godly.

 

[CypherSignal]

If they included just Pokemon and the ability to trade/battle, that would be insane on its own.

There is now one pokemon game included on each GB Classic, but which one that is is randomly selected from the set of R/B/Y/S/G.

 

[NoKisum]

Or Nintendo could truly support mobile by bringing GBC/GBA games to mobile phones.

No thanks, I need a device with buttons, not virtual keys.

 

[ZOONAMI]

GBA classic with like 100+ titles from GBA, GBC, GB would be dope.

 

[ghornett]

Anything to delay Switch VC longer.

 

[samred]

Why didn't I think of this? This is obviously the next thing before an n64 classic. If they make it thin and AA battery free, it'll do gangbusters.

 

[TheOfficeMut]

GBA classic with like 100+ titles from GBA, GBC, GB would be dope.

100 titles? Lol They would never put even half of that.

 

[PandaShake]

For that price, Nintendo can just release a Gameboy compilation game cartridge for 3ds.

 

[Anth0ny]

It's going to happen.

 

[Keinning]

There is now one pokemon game included on each GB Classic, but which one that is is randomly selected from the set of R/B/Y/S/G.

do you want to start world war III, fiend?

 

[ZOONAMI]

100 titles? Lol They would never put even half of that.

50 would be cool too.

 

[Rellik]

No thanks, I need a device with buttons, not virtual keys.

Good job you can connect a DS4 to your phone then.

 

[Feral Gingy]

I'd buy it for sure.

Has Nintendo ever released any of the GB/GBC games in virtual console or something?

 

[Gaz Pwnage]

Yes please

 

[Keyouta]

I'd like a Gameboy Classic to have a selection of games from the GB, GBC, and GBA.

 

[kunonabi]

I cant really think of all that many GB titles that would be worth it. I suppose if it had the Castlevania games that never got 3DS releases I'd bite.

 

[LiK]

I'd buy it for sure.

Has Nintendo ever released any of the GB/GBC games in virtual console or something?

They have.

 

[MercuryLS3]

I'd buy that for tetris alone. I still have an old gbc that I keep around for it.

 

[maxcriden]

I'd buy it for sure.

Has Nintendo ever released any of the GB/GBC games in virtual console or something?

Yes, many of them, on 3DS VC (50 GB and 28 GBC games):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Virtual_Console_games_for_Nintendo_3DS_(North_America)

Wii U got GBA (74 games) and DS (31 games) VC:

Above numbers are for NA only.

 

[talkingood]

I'd like a Gameboy Classic to have a selection of games from the GB, GBC, and GBA.

Yes! Not enough GB only games that would interest me.

Can you imagine how long a Li-On rechargable battery would last for a Game Boy? haha

 

[Professor Beef]

I'd buy it for sure.

Has Nintendo ever released any of the GB/GBC games in virtual console or something?

I'm guessing you don't own a 3DS.

 

[cireza]

I would love a Game Gear Classic Mini, if I am allowed ?

 

[sixteen-bit]

Mole Mania deserves another chance to shine

Nobody ever talks about it despite being a Miyamoto game.

 

[Dishwalla]

I'd buy it for sure.

Has Nintendo ever released any of the GB/GBC games in virtual console or something?

Yes. Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow came out a year and a half ago, and Pokemon Gold/Silver comes out next month.

 

[Lagamorph]

Should go all out and include GBA so they can use the design of the best Gameboy ever, the SP.

 

[Pilgrimzero]

Just bought an original GB for $30. Felt good to play on one again.


And playing it in public got some comments "Is that a Gameboy!?!"

 

[topplehat]

Just bought an original GB for $30. Felt good to play on one again.

It does, but things like lack of a backlit screen and built-in battery make it hard to return to.

 

[CharminUltra]

GBC Mini would be glorious. I need to replay Donkey Kong 94.

 

[LiK]

Just bought an original GB for $30. Felt good to play on one again.

How's that screen holding up?

 

[Fudgepuppy]

Good job you can connect a DS4 to your phone then.

Nintendo would never release something they couldn't control the way people play it.

If all phones had buttons, good ergonomics and a Dpad, maybe, but not now. They would rather not release it, than have people go "This is clunky" and have their experiences soured.

 

[Pinky]

No thanks, I need a device with buttons, not virtual keys.

This

 

[Pilgrimzero]

How's that screen holding up?

Still gotta play it in direct sunlight to see anything.

Part of the charm.

 

[Stabby McSter]

There is now one pokemon game included on each GB Classic, but which one that is is randomly selected from the set of R/B/Y/S/G.

you MONSTER

now this will definitely happen

 

[NightwingRebirth]

Or Nintendo could truly support mobile by bringing GBC/GBA games to mobile phones.

Or they could bring it to the Switch instead...

Legit tho, A GB Mini is a great idea, but I'd personally wait for a GBA Mini instead, that was when I was really getting into gaming.

 

[TheGamer]

Or Nintendo could truly support mobile by bringing GBC/GBA games to mobile phones.

Nah.

Nah. I want to feel buttons.

 

[Marcel]

Or Nintendo could truly support mobile by bringing GBC/GBA games to mobile phones.

If you actually want to pay to play a Nintendo game with virtual buttons then I feel bad for you.

 

[Jamix012]

Work with Apple and Samsung to make it a phone attachment. I'd be SO in.

 

[tbm24]

I'd rather they stop with these mini classics and just focus on a robust virtual console.

 

[Feral Gingy]

They have.

Yes, many of them, on 3DS VC (50 GB and 28 GBC games):

Yes. Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow came out a year and a half ago, and Pokemon Gold/Silver comes out next month.

Oh yeah, the 3DS. Never owned one myself.

Well, most of the games in the NES/SNES classic were released in VC too and that didn't stop them from becoming a thing.

 

[The Cowboy]

A gameboy micro re-released with a sealed in cart including 30+ games = money from me, lots of money from me .

 

[Zen Aku]

There is now one pokemon game included on each GB Classic, but which one that is is randomly selected from the set of R/B/Y/S/G.

No fuck that. Give me the whole set.

 

[Naked Snake]

Or Nintendo could truly support mobile by bringing GBC/GBA games to mobile phones.

Good job you can connect a DS4 to your phone then.

 

[moltonasty]

Or you could just buy a Gameboy (OG, color, SP, your choice) and an Everdrive flash cart. At least that actually has stock, and doesn't require being awake at 4 am to get a pre order.
