My small Game Boy museum is one of my favorite aspects of my gaming collection. At any point I can pull out a piece of hardware and relive a classic game from any handheld generation -- and depending on the Game Boy I choose, different colo...

I didn't own a Game Boy Camera at launch (only one person I know did and their parents were loaded), but I did pick one up eventually out of curiosity. It's...a thing Nintendo did once, but hero Bastiaan Ekeler managed to step up Nintendo's...

Decades after its debut at Space World 1997, a playable demo version of Pokémon Gold and Silver has surfaced online, and it's a veritable treasure trove of unfinished or otherwise unused content. The most intriguing finds have got to...

While it's easy to espouse the merit and legacy of The Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past, the lesser-beloved follow-up set of Oracle games by Capcom are an underrated pair. While they're not quite as memorable in terms of iconography like t...

So, you may have seen a popular PUBG streamer or YouTuber kill an enemy and make it look way too easy. However, thought and recoil precision...

The Pocket Sprite looks like something that couldn't have existed 20 years ago. The miniature console resembles a Game Boy Color but is only about 1/6th the size. It started as a self-challenge by its designer to see how small he could...

Back up your saves. Dust all your consoles. Buy protectors and scratch-proof cases. Eject your discs properly. Choose life. That's what all the clever clogs say, sometimes chastising you while you grieve. But some of us like to live life on...

Hyperkin have revealed details of a new device currently in development at the peripheral manufacturer. The tentatively-titled "Ultra Game Boy" is designed to be a remake of one of the greatest selling consoles of all-time, brought up to sp...

When giving gifts at Christmas, it is the thought that counts. Especially in the time of trophies and achievements, unwrapping a mediocre game from a well-meaning great-aunt who asked the nice shop assistant for recommendations is not a big...

The Super Mario Land series is pretty special to me. Played countless times on car trips (along with the first Kirby game), I had every level burned in my mind, but most of the people I knew only played the "main" console games. Super Mario...

The Nintendo 3DS is gradually being put out to pasture, now that it's bulkier, flashier half-brother is taking over. We're bidding adieu to a console that had a pretty impressive back catalogue, and dominated the handheld market for a good ...

It has been tweeted by a Japanese trademark bot that Nintendo have filed a new trademark on the original Game Boy, originally released back in 1989, before going on to take the world by storm, ultimately becoming the then-best selling conso...

Pokémon for me personally was a defining piece of media growing up. I can still recall recess at school and seeing groups of kids huddled around Game Boy screens or playing the card game. I even remember the first episode of Pok&eacu...

As someone who grew up in the late '90's and early 2000's, I was a huge fan of the Pokémon series as a child. I was the type of person who'd make it a habit to wake up as early as possible to watch the latest episode of the anim...

It's funny to think that of everything the 3DS has going on as of late (Fire Emblem Echoes, Ever Oasis, Samus Returns, and next month's Mario & Luigi), it's the impending Pokémon Gold and Silver eShop releases that are most likel...

Nicalis has another retro-style platformer coming up for Nintendo Switch (and also PC), but this one has an aesthetic you don't see quite so often. It's made to look, sound, and play like a Game Boy title. Save me Mr Tako: Tasukete Tako-Sa...

Today would be the 100th birthday of Jack Kirby, creator and co-creator of many of Marvel Comic's biggest superstars. Coincidentally, it's also 25 years today since lovable ball of inhalation Kirby saw his Game Boy game Kirby's Dream Land r...

It has been announced in the latest issue of Famitsu magazine that the Nintendo 3DS will see a collection of the first five Medabots games, originally released for the Game Boy Color.While the story was light on details, it was confirmed th...

Although F-Zero and a few other storied Nintendo series can't catch a break, Kirby is always there. Whether it's a console iteration or a portable jaunt you can always count on the fluff ball to appear, and Nintendo always support...

One of my favorite collections is my series of Game Boys. Going from the first big boy OG I owned as a kid all the way up to the New 2DS, I love taking a new portable with my on any given trip and experiencing something different each time....

The Game Boy Zelda games don't get enough love. Sure you hear Link's Awakening mentioned fairly often, but the Oracle games and Minish Cap, not so much. That might change if Nintendo prominently featured them on the Switch at some...

We are less than a week away from the launch of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, a game that has been in development since around 1895. It’s been a long time but in a few short days, we’ll all finally be able to see just...

Can you cram a Famicom Mini inside a Game Boy? Yes. But should you? Hell yeah! Well, maybe not you you, but Kei Studio sure managed the feat with an impressive "Famicom Pocket" build. This 25-minute-long video gets into the specifics, as d...

I've written before about some of the wackier stuff that we get on the Destructoid tip line. Sometimes, we get tips about Kickstarter projects that have concluded successfully. Niero himself brought this one to our attention after seeing it...

"Try" of My Life in Gaming is now taking on the issue of displaying Game Boy games, which are one of the more clunky formats in recent years. The group's new video goes through some of the common options -- a shelf, a tub (which is the...

This "Game Boy Zero" from YouTube user Wermy ranks way up there as far as cool custom systems go. Besides the nice new screen and two extra face buttons (taken from an NES controller to provide a more authentic feel), the system also has e...
