The Game Boy platform (which includes the original unit, the Game Boy Pocket, and the Game Boy Color) came to market when most video game consoles had a life expectancy of just a few years. More than a decade later, the system is still going strong. How did the Game Boy successfully compete--and in some cases bury--an onslaught of faster, more powerful handheld and home console systems? Let us count the ways: affordability, a huge library of games that consistently made the most of the hardware's limitations, smart power management that extended battery life, and uncluttered controls. But perhaps it was the system's ultraportable design that allowed devotees to play video games around their schedule, making it the must-have system for kids and adults alike. Less

A 100% REAL, AUTHENTIC REVIEW BY A GAME BOY ADVANCE OWNER!

bygerper Jun 12, 2001

Pros Great graphics and games! Smaller unit, very powerful
Cons Poor lighting, no backlight
Recommended it? Yes

Normally, hand held games aren?t my thing, as I find that games simply don?t translate well to a small screen. However, I can honestly say that the Nintendo (and it?s no secret that I am not too crazy about this company), has really outdone themselves with the Game Boy Advance creating yet another...

Introduction

I remember when I was a little kid and my best friend got a Nintendo Entertainment System. Before then, my experience with video games consisted of playing Burger Time on the Intellivision II and Combat on an old Atari 2600. I remember sitting there and playing the Super Mario...

Pros Nintendo franchises, Virtual Console, online play, very cheap, great same system...
Cons Accesories sneak up on your wallet, a lot of filler and souless ports
Recommended it? Yes

Nintendo has always been a company that does their own thing.  It’s a love/hate relationship with some fans, but die-hard Nintendo fans are incredibly loyal.  It’s a solid guarantee that Nintendo will release games that continuously set the bar for innovation and fun. ... Read full review »
