Very nice portable Arcade adaptor!
Something I always wondered about. Remember how the Nintendo Game Watches had a white background? So how come Nintendo went with pea green in the original Gameboys? Technology at the time, a first stab at implementing color or a cost move?

it was a cost thing. I have something about it -- I'll dig it up when I can.CRTGAMER wrote:Very nice portable Arcade adaptor!

Cool! Many of those old Game Boy accessories were shitty... but this one looks cool, and it's from Konami, so I'm jealous I don't have it!

I was wondering when the big reveal would happen! I can't wait for the blog update on this one.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

Kinda reminds me of my HandyBoy I bought for my Gameboy back in the day.

it's way better than the HandyBoy though. This thing was Konami's pitch to make the GB into a little arcade unit. I'm mean look how big it is! (I put it next to the Cube so you could get an idea of its size).Purkeynator wrote:Kinda reminds me of my HandyBoy I bought for my Gameboy back in the day.
Unfortunately never left Japan. But I'm really excited at the pristine condition mine is in. I'll get a lot of good pictures and everything for the blog, including the box and manual.

So does it play well? Or should I just wait for your full review?

I've only owned it for a few hours. I'll test it out and reveal all my findings on the blog.zxqdms wrote:So does it play well? Or should I just wait for your full review?

That looks amazing! If you can I'd love to see some video of it in action when you do a write up on it.
