Game Boy 走过 30 周年，任天堂带给世界的不止是一部掌机 - 知乎

Game Boy 走过 30 周年，任天堂带给世界的不止是一部掌机 - 知乎首发于爱范儿--报道未来切换模式写文章登录/注册Game Boy 走过 30 周年，任天堂带给世界的不止是一部掌机爱范儿2021 年度新知答主剥离技术和参数的外衣，探求设计与人文的本源。Game Boy，这个存在于大部分人童年记忆里的任天堂掌机，已经三十周岁了。对很多 80、90 后来说，Game Boy 就像是心底里的一抹白月光。我们对游戏最早期的认知，就来自于 GameBoy 和红白机；而马力欧和皮卡丘一众，则是打小就印象深刻的游戏角色。可放 30 年前，出门在外双手捧着一台带屏幕的电子设备玩游戏，基本可以认定是家境优渥的弄潮儿，多数人更习惯的是坐在电视机前玩红白机，要么就是泡在街头巷角的投币街机厅里。▲ 图片来自：RetroSix如果不是因为 GameBoy 的出现，很难说这样一个真正受到大众用户喜欢并认可的掌上游戏设备，什么时候才能诞生。Game Boy 诞生之前，任天堂已有两款游戏机获得成功在不少人眼中，任天堂第一款家用机 Famicom 的诞生，预示着这家原本以花札、纸牌和玩具起家的百年日本企业，正式进军家用游戏机市场。但 Game Boy 影响的却是另一个领域，它把用手持设备玩电子游戏的体验带到了一个新的高度，挖掘的是人们对移动游戏的潜在需求。让我们把时间拨回到上世纪 80 年代。在雅达利事件之后，很多人认为电子游戏市场已成明日黄花，但任天堂却凭借生产杰出的游戏，以及建立一套严苛的内容审核标准，成功靠 Famicom 主机重拾了市场与消费者们的信心。但 Famicom 并不是任天堂第一款获得商业成功的游戏机设备。早在 1980 年，名为横井军平的游戏设计师便率领任天堂第一开发部主导设计了该公司第一款掌上游戏机系列 Game & Watch，并在全球收获了超过 4000 万台的销量。由于 Game & Watch 的热销，获得的利润不仅让任天堂还清了当时的银行债务，还成为日后研发 Famicom 主机的重要财源。▲ Game & Watch 推出过很多款式，有单屏版，也有上下双屏版。不过由于技术限制，Game & Watch 采用的还是固定背景的液晶屏幕，所以一台机器只能玩一款游戏，和我们现在熟悉的可换卡带掌机有着本质区别。而 Famicom 主机的热销，则让横井看到了游戏卡带的魅力，也为任天堂的第二代掌机 Game Boy 提供了灵感。另一个契机来自夏普。任天堂和夏普的合作关系由来已久，早在 Game & Watch 时代，横井军平便曾利用夏普和卡西欧竞争导致液晶显示器产线过剩这一契机，实现了大批量的低价采购，有效控制了成本。初期计划中，横井军平是想继续使用在 Game & Watch 上搭载的「TN 型液晶屏」，但随后任天堂发现这种屏幕的观看视角太差，这对于已经在产线上投入 400 万日元的夏普来说就是个灾难。之后，任天堂继续委托夏普开发出新的「STN 型液晶屏」。这种屏幕虽然牺牲了响应速度，但带来了对比度和可视角度的提升，价格也依旧低廉，最终被任天堂相中。▲横井军平由于在 Game Boy 开发中所扮演的重要角色，业内普遍将横井军平比作「Game Boy 之父」，但曾与横井共事过的前任天堂开发技术部主管冈田智，却不认同这个观点。2017 年，他接受《Retro Gamer》杂志采访时透露，横井最初只是想做一个类似 Microvision（第一款真正意义上可换卡带的掌机）版本的 Game & Watch，强调的是快餐化的游戏体验，即玩即走，也没有很明确的商业模式，甚至不关心是否有第三方厂商的支持。▲ Microvision可当时的冈田智却希望新的掌机能拥有类似 Famicom 一样的图形性能，可以运行画面比较不错的游戏。最后是横井认可了他的方案，才有了 Game Boy 的出现。它不是当时配置最好的掌机，却靠长续航和耐用性赢得了市场可换卡带式的掌机成了 90 年代的一股新潮流，当时各家掌机使用的芯片和屏幕都有所不同，但它们的机身后背基本都装有一个可以自由插拔实体卡带的插槽。不过第一版面世的 Game Boy 掌机仍不是当时硬件配置最好的——虽然它搭载了一颗 4MHz 的定制 8-bit 芯片，实际机能略强于 Famicom 主机，但那块显示屏仅有 4 阶灰度可调，还只能显示白、浅绿、深绿和黑 4 种颜色，基本和一块黑白屏没什么区别。▲ 图片来自：Kotaku与之相比，和 Game Boy 同一年面世的雅达利 Lynx，已经开始使用支持 4096 色显示的背光屏幕，这也是全球第一台搭载彩色液晶屏的掌机。▲ 图片来自：Modojo还有随后上市的世嘉 Game Gear 和 PCE GT，也都使用了彩色显示屏。为了突出优势，两者还在营销广告中强调了彩色屏幕对游戏体验的提升。虽然在任天堂公司内，也曾有人担心单色屏幕无法获得消费者的认可，但横井军平仍然希望将价格控制在合理范围内。▲ 图片来自：Ameron0011989 年 4 月 21 日，Game Boy 正式在日本地区上市，定价 1.28 万日元；同年 7 月开始登陆北美市场，定价 89 美元。而当时的 Lynx 定价为 179 美元，世嘉的 Game Gear 也需要 149 美元，PCE GT 发布时的定价更是高达 299 美元。所以，拿 Game Boy 和当时同类产品相比，它的价格堪称低廉。平庸的显示屏还让 Game Boy 在续航上获得了显著优势，这也是它比很多掌机要出彩的部分。测试数据显示，Game Boy 仅靠四节 AA 电池就能持续运行长达 15-30 个小时，如果按每天玩 2 小时来计算，你甚至可以连续七八天不更换电池。与之相比，使用了六节电池的 Lynx 只能达到 4-5 小时的续航水准，而世嘉的 Game Gear 更是缩水到 2-3 个小时，加上笨重的体积，这都极大限制了它们的外出便携性，哪怕是它们都拥有比 Game Boy 好得多的彩色屏幕。▲ 事实上，Game Boy 掌机的体积在当时一众掌机设备中并不算大。另一点不得不说的就是 Game Boy 那结实的塑料外壳。据悉，任天堂在开发初期就考虑到给小孩子使用的各种场景，所以特别加强了抗摔性和耐用性。如果你去过美国纽约任天堂直营店，也会在店内橱窗中看到一台「镇店之宝」：那是一个机身已经被全部烧毁的 Game Boy，但它的屏幕却仍然可以正常运行游戏。就这样，集价格低廉、续航持久、做工结实、携带方便等诸多特性于一身的 Game Boy，逐渐成为了市场上最火爆的掌上游戏机。而低成本、易用性和耐用度等设计理念，也延续到了此后数代任天堂掌机设备身上，成了它们的设计核心。▲ 图片来自：Digital Spy随着 Lynx 和 Game Gear 逐渐淡出市场，Game Boy 几乎占据了整个 90 年代的掌机市场，之后 10 年，任天堂还相继推出了包括 Game Boy Pocket、Game Boy Color 等体积更小，款式更多，或是用上彩色显示屏的改版型号，进一步延长了整个 Game Boy 系列的生命周期。▲ 配备彩色显示屏的 Game Boy Color。图片来自：Nintendo Life到 2003 年，Game Boy 掌机系列在全球累计销量已经超过 1.2 亿部。这种成功，离不开任天堂对掌机硬件的精准定位，也离不开 Game Boy 身后那一大批优秀的游戏作品。《俄罗斯方块》是 Game Boy 第一个杀手级游戏，但并不是唯一一个电子游戏市场本质上是一个软件生意，用户之所以会选择购买一台游戏主机，是因为他相信在这台主机上能够玩到他喜欢的游戏。所以，每一个成功的游戏平台，背后都离不开杰出游戏的支持。好比 Famicom 上的《超级马力欧》，PS1 上的《最终幻想 7》，Xbox 上的《光环》，乃至是 Switch 上的《旷野之息》，它们都可以视为是主机硬件销量增长的幕后推手。而在 Game Boy 的历史中，第一个扮演这个角色的则是《俄罗斯方块》。▲ 当时北美地区开售的 Game Boy 都同捆了《俄罗斯方块》。图片来自：The Gamesmen1989 年 3 月，任天堂北美市场经理 Don Coyner 正在思索将 Game Boy 带进本国市场的方案。当时，这款掌机刚在日本上市，下一步就是登陆美国，任天堂最初计划是通过捆绑《超级马力欧大陆》游戏的方式来进行推广。可发行商 Bullet-Proof Software 的负责人亨克·罗杰斯（Henk Rogers）却抓住了这一机会，他希望将已经登陆家用机市场的《俄罗斯方块》游戏也带进掌机世界。在他看来，和强调动作和射击类的游戏不同，《俄罗斯方块》中下落的方块就算在小屏幕上也清晰可见，所以非常适合像 Game Boy 这样的掌机设备。加上游戏本身上手门槛极低，就算你在等地铁时也能拿出来玩两局，打发下闲暇时间。▲ 左起为罗杰斯、帕基特诺夫，以及任天堂总裁山内溥。图片来自：IGN但当时围绕《俄罗斯方块》游戏的版权问题十分复杂，它的创作者是来自前苏联的科学家阿列克谢·帕基特诺夫（Alexey Pajitnov），分销权则由俄罗斯版权方 ELORG 统一负责。为了获得掌机平台的授权，罗杰斯几经周折后，还和任天堂北美分社社长荒川实一同飞往莫斯科讨论合作。但获得授权后，罗杰斯并不满足于只是发行游戏，他还和荒川实讨论说：「荒川先生，我认为你应该将《俄罗斯方块》和 Game Boy 进行捆绑销售」「我们有自己的马力欧，为什么要捆绑《俄罗斯方块》？」「这么说吧，如果你只想让几岁的小男生买 Game Boy，那么可以选择马力欧；但如果你想让所有人都买 Game Boy，那么就请捆绑《俄罗斯方块》，之后您可以再继续卖马力欧游戏。」最后荒川实同意了这一销售策略。事实也证明他奏效了。Game Boy 在北美地区上市后，销量迅速上涨到百万量级，成功吸引了一大批用户。▲ 图片来自：Smithsonian Magazine三年后，Game Boy 在北美的销量已经达到了 900 万台，基本上每一个购买了 Game Boy 游戏机的人，都拥有一张俄罗斯方块的游戏卡带。据统计，Game Boy 版本的《俄罗斯方块》总销量达到了 3000 万份，是 Game Boy 卖得最好的游戏之一。▲ 1993 年，希拉里在飞机上玩 Game Boy 的照片，据说她也很喜欢俄罗斯方块。《俄罗斯方块》游戏还成功让 Game Boy 吸引了不少女性用户的关注。根据任天堂于 1995 年的一项调查数据显示，女性玩家在 Game Boy 总用户量中占据了近 46% 的比例，而在 Famicom 主机上仅为 29%。此后，Game Boy 上的游戏阵容逐渐丰富起来，我们所熟悉的《瓦力奥》、《塞尔达传说》、《最终幻想》、《大金刚》、《恶魔城》和《星之卡比》等游戏系列，都曾在 Game Boy 上推出过相应的作品，进一步带动了这股掌机游戏的热潮，也让 Game Boy 成为了 90 年代的一个新的文化符号。但没有一款作品能够像《精灵宝可梦》一样做得那么成功。1996 年，任天堂正处于低迷期，经历了 Game Boy 前期的爆发增长后，这个平台已经开始显露出疲态。在这个节点下，来自 Game Freak 公司的《精灵宝可梦红·绿》宣布上市，这款游戏早在 6 年前就已经立项，但很少有一款 Game Boy 游戏需要那么长的开发时间，这和公司屡次陷入开发资金短缺的窘况有关。之所以想到要为 Game Boy 制作游戏，起因源自于 Game Freak 的创始人田尻智，他自 Game Boy 上市之初就对这台设备产生了兴趣。对他来说，Game Boy 最吸引他的特性在于两台设备可以通过数据线进行连接，这让它想起小时候和朋友交换昆虫的时光。之后，「交换精灵」也成了宝可梦游戏的核心理念之一，配合收集、升级进化和玩家对战，初代《精灵宝可梦》就构筑出一种全新的 RPG 玩法。再加上同名漫画的出炉，动画的热播，以及皮卡丘角色的大热，迅速提升了《精灵宝可梦》在青少年群体之间的人气，再次登上千万级销量的宝座。事实上，在 20 世纪末，已经有一批新的掌机产品面世，如 Neo Geo Pocket，还有 Bandai 的 WonderSwan。这些设备都开始借鉴任天堂 Game Boy 的优点，但由于缺乏像《精灵宝可梦》这种可以引爆市场的游戏，新竞者们很快也被市场淘汰。而如果没有宝可梦系列为后期 Game Boy 带来的一波新的销量，以当时任天堂 N64 和 NGC 两个家用机平台的持续低迷表现，以及索尼 PS 平台的强势崛起，任天堂还能否坚持到之后的硬件推出都是未知数。它不仅像悬崖勒马一般止住了 Game Boy 一路下滑的态势，还力道强劲地将 Game Boy 重新拉回到大众玩家的视野里来。那些奇怪的 Game Boy 外设配件，也是任天堂「玩具化」的尝试在上世纪 70 年代初期，任天堂尚未完全进军电子游戏市场前，玩具仍然是这家公司的主营业务。▲ 图片来自：beforemario当时任天堂设计的玩具产品数以百计，比如像很多人熟知的「超级怪手」和「爱情测试仪」，还有之后的体感游戏「光线枪」，都是借助一些简单材料，就能实现某种奇思妙想的玩法。而在 Game Boy 时代，任天堂也继续秉承着这种「玩具」思维，利用各种周边外设配件，来提升游戏机的可玩性。▲ 图片来自：WULFF DEN最知名的就是 Game Boy 摄像头了。这款于 1998 年推出的单色摄像头出自任天堂作曲家田中宏和之手，它可以像游戏卡带一样插进掌机插槽中，然后你就能将 Game Boy 屏幕当作取景器，拍出一张极具年代感却又有些超现实主义的像素照片。这还不够，为了配合 Game Boy 摄像头，田中宏和还为 Game Boy 设计了一个便携式打印机。它采用的是热敏技术，类似于我们在收银台看到的那种打收据的机器，可以直接将 Game Boy 摄像头拍摄的照片打印出来，虽然效果一般，但一张张小纸条看着也非常有意思。▲ 图片来自：Tome Of Infinity另一个新奇配件是 Game Boy 口袋声纳。我之前以为它只是用于和游戏产生联动，可谁知道这居然是一款真的钓鱼用声纳设备，据说可以将水下 20 米深处的鱼群监测数据反映在屏幕上。▲ 图片来自：Shonumi另外，任天堂也希望借助外设，进一步强化玩家与玩家、设备与设备之间的互动。比如最核心的「Game Link Cable」连接线。这是一条专属于 Game Boy 系列掌机的数据传输系统，可以让玩家间实现精灵交换、对战等功能，这也是宝可梦系列延续至今的核心玩法之一。▲ 之前绿巨人扮演者 Mark 还晒出了「美队」和「黑寡妇」联机玩 GameBoy 的场景。但接口的适用范围并不只是宝可梦这一个游戏，它还可以用于《俄罗斯方块》或是《F-1 Race》赛车游戏中，有效扩展了 Game Boy 玩家间的交流和沟通。你甚至还能用 Four Player 配件同时连接四位玩家。▲插在 SFC 主机上的 Super Game Boy 配件。至于 Super Game Boy 则是一个可以将 Game Boy 卡带插到 SFC 主机上的配件，让玩家可以在电视上玩到原本只能插在 Game Boy 卡槽中的掌机游戏。▲ Transfer Pak 外设等 N64 主机面世后，任天堂还推出了像 Transfer Pak 这样的 GameBoy 联动的外设。它允许玩家将 Game Boy 上《精灵宝可梦》的存档转移到 N64 的《精灵宝可梦竞技场》游戏中，这样就可以继续使用自己之前抓到的精灵。还有一个值得一提的有趣配件是 Handy Boy，你可以把它视为是 Game Boy 的加强套件，具体加强的部分包括：1. 通过两侧的喇叭来增强音量2. 用小型摇杆取代原本的十字键，还配有两颗大号的 AB 键3. 正前方的面板具备类似放大镜的效果，可以让玩家感觉自己看到一块更大的屏幕，此外它还在左右两侧配备了小灯，弥补了 Game Boy 没有背光的缺点这种「玩具化」的思维，至今还影响着任天堂的每一代主机设备。仍然有很多人在用自己的方式怀念 Game Boy如今，任天堂仍然是电子游戏产业内的最为核心的公司之一，它依旧擅长将创意和乐趣融入到自己的游戏和硬件设备之中，也在紧跟技术的演进，去迎合新一代用户群的喜好。比起最初厚重如板砖般大小的 Game Boy，今天我们手中的 Switch，已经不再是单纯意义上的「掌机」了，它已经可以通过分离式机身的结构，同时拥有家用主机和便携掌机这两种形态。发生改变的还有整个掌机行业。虽然 Game Boy 诞生后这 30 年间，仍没有厂商能撼动任天堂在这个市场中的地位，但如今人们提及移动游戏，更多联想到的是一个带触控屏幕的智能手机。原本掌机所面向的移动玩家群体，在面对各种更丰富的娱乐媒介时，选择也变得不再单一。这并不奇怪，毕竟掌机的诉求仍然是想让玩家「随时随地地玩到游戏」，而智能手机在这点上做得并不差，有的方面甚至更好。这也意味着任天堂已经很难再重现像 Game Boy 那样的黄金时代，它需要以新的方式和策略，应对这个时代所面临的挑战。即便如此，仍然有很多念旧的人还在使用 Game Boy，你在很多二手市场或是中古游戏店内也都能看到它的身影。在 2017 年，一位名为 Ludos 的玩家在 Gamasutra 网站上分享了自己为 Game Boy 制作的跳跃游戏《Sheep It Up！》，还有配套的实体卡带。这个举动放现在并不常见，但 Ludos 自己只是想实现小时候「为任天堂制作一款电子游戏」的梦想，而且 Game Boy 也是他个人第一台游戏机。而身处美国密尔瓦基的 Joshua Arter，过去几年里也一直坚持使用 Game Boy 摄像头拍摄各种城市照片，还专门在 Instagram 上注册了账号用来展示。一方面，这出于他对像素风格照片的喜爱，另一方面则是觉得用 Game Boy 拍照能带来更多乐趣。前 IGN 游戏编辑 Craig Harris 也回忆称，他之所以对 Game Boy 如此最感兴趣，是因为看到了一大批开发者尝试在一个机能有限的平台上打造出优秀的游戏：它没有彩色显示屏，没有非常好的处理芯片，但这也意味着所有的游戏都无法靠画面效果来吸引玩家，而是需要开发者提出真正有创意的点子，充分利用每一个像素点。当然，这并不是说我们更推崇「开倒车」。大部分人仍希望在追求有趣的同时，也享受更精细的画面，体验更人性的交互。只是在夜深人静的时候，已过而立之年的我们，偶尔会回想起童年时小小的手心捧着大大的掌机的画面，Game Boy 作为引领我们进入游戏大门的指路人，那浅绿色的记忆不会被取代。题图来源：Sean R-H发布于 2019-04-22 09:48Game Boy（GB）任天堂赞同 496 条评论分享喜欢收藏申请转载文章被以下专栏收录爱范儿--报道未来我们报道未来，服务新生活

Power Issues

Aside from dead batteries, these are the most common issues that keep all Game Boys from powering on. Troubleshooting Guide

Dirty or damaged power switch

The most effective method to clean the power switch is to disassemble the switch and ensure everything is clean. Remove all the oxidation and carbon buildup from the inside-out. Opening the switch is the most reliable and best long term solution. Other methods may still help, but should be considered a temporary fix. CGB power switches have a tricky latch when opening up the shield. [Video] Cleaning the power switch is the same method as AGB. [Video]

Aftermarket Replacement Power Switch. This could be an alternative to an actual proper cleaning, when the power switch is corroded beyond repair. Moderate soldering skill required. Video Guide

CGS Replacement

Helder’s Replacement

Burnt Fuses

There are two fuses F1 and F2 on the system of the same value. F1 is the main system fuse, F2 is a protection fuse from the DC jack. Please refer to the Replacement Parts Sheet.

Corroded DC Jack

Like other consoles this may prevent a the console from powering on. Check continuity between Pin 2 and 3 of the DC jack P4. Pins are numbered on the button side of the console. Poor continuity or high resistance is a sign of a corroded DC jack. These can be desoldered and cleaned. Open circuit on these pins disconnects the battery circuit and switched to DC power only. Replacements are available on AliExpress.

Audio Issues

Corrosion in the physical switch in the headphone jack is a common issue. Check continuity between Pin 4 and 5 of the headphone jack. Pins are numbered on the button side of the console. Poor continuity or high resistance is a sign of a corroded DC jack. Thse can be desoldered to be cleaned. Open circuit on these pin mutes the speaker.

Dead speakers can be replaced as there are OEM-fit aftermarket replacements. For Game Boy Colors, BennVenn explains that speakers that go bad are usually a sign that the capacitors should be changed.

Replacement speakers are available from FunnyPlaying and Cloud Game Store. FunnyPlaying speakers are clear. Cloud Game Store speakers are available in multiple colors.

FunnyPlaying also sold on RetroModding, Retro Game Repair Shop, Zedlabz.

Cloud Game Store also sold on Retro Game Repair Shop.

Replacement Capacitors. Video Guide

Replacement capacitors can also be ordered in bulk. Specs are available in the Replacement Parts Sheet

Corrosion or other liquid damage when neither the jack nor the speaker is bad. Corrosion in the headphone jack area is common and this can cause a broken connection between the headphone jack and the rest of the system. This will manifest in a perfectly working switch when tested with a multimeter but the console will still not work properly. Diagnosis and repair must be done trace by trace by checking both sides of the PCB simultaneously. Please refer to the Board Scans.

50 Best Game Boy Color (GBC) Games Of All Time

The top 50 GBC games, as ranked by you

Image: Damien McFerran / Nintendo LifeRemember, several of these Game Boy Color titles are playable on Switch. Enjoy!

It was 1996 in Japan and 1998 in North America (and a year later in Europe) when the ageing Game Boy got an unexpected shot in the arm thanks to a little game named Pokémon. Nintendo's granddaddy of handheld gaming suddenly had a new lease on life, but in the West the release of the game was followed just weeks later by the arrival of a new console — the Game Boy Color — and it was on that wonderful system that many of us caught our very first Pocket Monster.

A colour update to the original DMG-001 — which had previously been revised in the smaller form of Game Boy Pocket — was a long time coming, but after nine years Game Boy Color finally gave handheld Nintendo gamers the proper upgrade they'd been waiting for.

GBC launched, appropriately, in a range of eye-catching colours and was fully backwards compatible with the existing Game Boy library. Many dual 'black cart' games would also play perfectly well on the original monochrome console, although the sexier Color-exclusive games came on clear cartridges which let you glimpse the board inside. The GBC soon built up its own great software library before the Game Boy Advance came along in 2001. Three years is a relatively short life span, especially compared to its predecessor, but we're big fans of this gorgeous system and its impressive, oft-forgotten library.

Hang on, we gave this a 7?? Staff meeting! — Image: Gavin Lane / Nintendo Life

We've previously assembled Top 50 rankings for every other Nintendo console, each and every one based on User Ratings submitted by readers, and this list of the Best Game Boy Color games ever is the last to go live. Thank you all for contributing, to this list and all the others.

Remember, though, that just like the others, this ranking is not set in stone. The list will continue to evolve automatically based on user scores submitted to the Nintendo Life game database. If you missed out on 'voting', you can still do so right now by simply scrolling down and rating them, or hunting down a game that's missing via the search bar below. Games require a minimum of 10 ratings to become eligible, but once that threshold is reached (and if it scores highly enough) it will appear below.

Ready to take a look? Grab yourself a fresh pair of AAs, sit back, and relax as we take you on a tour of the 50 best Game Boy Color games of all time...

Note. In order for games to become eligible, they need a minimum of 10 User Ratings in total.

Guide 50 Best Game Boy Games Of All Time

Black and white brilliance

50. Mr. Driller (GBC)

6.5 Profile

Publisher: Namco / Developer: NamcoRelease Date: 2nd Aug 2000 (USA) / 2nd Aug 2000 (UK/EU)The arcade game shrunk down on a handheld, Namco's simple, addictive gameplay (drill down to destroy blocks piling up beneath your feet) and clean, colourful visuals work very well on the GBC. The home console versions might look prettier, but Mr. Driller felt right at home on Nintendo's portable.

49. Bionic Commando: Elite Forces (GBC)

6.5 Review 7/10 Profile

Publisher: Nintendo / Developer: Nintendo Software TechnologyRelease Date: 1999 (USA) / 24th Jan 2000 (UK/EU)

Bionic Commando: Elite Forces has some problems — a few dull boss battles, forgettable music and it could use a few more of the well put together sniper sections — but for the most part it's an entertaining, challenging title with enough swinging action to keep you busy for some time. Once cleared it may be a while before you feel the urge to go back to it, but it's a decent entry in Capcom's series and a good choice for people who consider jumping overrated.

48. Pac-Man: Special Color Edition (GBC)

6.6 Profile

Publisher: Namco / Developer: NamcoRelease Date: 1st Aug 1999 (USA) / 1st Aug 1999 (UK/EU)A Pac-Man port for the series' 20th anniversary, Pac-Man: Special Color Edition was most 'special' due to the inclusion of Pac-Attack as an added bonus. Otherwise, it's pretty much just good ol' Pac-Man. Classic.

47. Perfect Dark (GBC)

6.6 Review 6/10 Profile

Publisher: Rare / Developer: RareRelease Date: 28th Aug 2000 (USA) / 24th Jul 2000 (UK/EU)

Rare did a great job on squeezing so many features and technical magic into the little cart, and this GBC rendition of Perfect Dark certainly looks impressive considering the hardware, but this focus on the tech seems to have had an averse effect on the gameplay. It's not a bad game by any stretch, but as a stealthy Metal Gear-alike, it's lacking a little in the 'Fun' department. If you're forgiving of its flaws, you might have a pretty good time with it, but it's far from Perfect.

The non-backlit Game Boy Color screen provides plenty of Dark, mind.

46. Blaster Master: Enemy Below (GBC)

6.6 Review 9/10 Profile

Publisher: Sunsoft / Developer: SunsoftRelease Date: 24th Sep 2000 (USA) / 27th Oct 2000 (UK/EU)Available On: Nintendo Switch Online

The mixture of old and new elements give Blaster Master: Enemy Below enough new twists to make it a worthy sequel to the amazing original. Sure, many of the same audio/visual elements have been carried over fairly unchanged, but the new bosses and open setting offer up a whole new experience for fans to enjoy. If you never gave the Blaster Master series a chance (and Switch owners don't have much excuse considering that both this and the NES original are available with a Nintendo Switch Online subscription), this great Game Boy Color title is as good a reason as any to get stuck in.

45. Street Fighter Alpha: Warriors' Dreams (GBC)

6.7 Review 6/10 Profile

Publisher: Capcom / Developer: Crawfish InteractiveRelease Date: 31st Jan 2000 (USA) / 30th Nov 1998 (UK/EU)

Visually, Street Fighter Alpha: Warriors' Dream it is a big step down from the arcade original — as you'd expect — but this is a fairly good-looking port considering the hardware. Gameplay is the most important thing and luckily it feels like a Street Fighter game despite the occasional irritation of an unintended special move. As a single player experience, this is a decent little fighter that will keep you occupied for quite a while, but some extra modes would have been welcome. Sound effects are straight-up bad and an ending bug also annoys, but the lack of two-player mode is the big disappointment here. If you can't rub a pal's face in it, what's the point?

44. Mega Man Xtreme 2 (GBC)

6.7 Review 7/10 Profile

Publisher: Capcom / Developer: CapcomRelease Date: 30th Oct 2001 (USA) / 8th Feb 2002 (UK/EU)

Mega Man Xtreme 2 is a major improvement in every way over its predecessor. It looks fantastic, plays very well, offers a smooth and varied experience and draws from a whopping four Mega Man X games. This is much closer to the portable X experience that fans were looking for back in 2001, and while screen size, some minor control issues and a few unresolved problems from the first game contribute a bit of a drag factor, it's still an ultimately enjoyable experience.

43. Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone (GBC)

6.7 Profile

Publisher: Electronic Arts / Developer: Griptonite GamesRelease Date: 16th Nov 2001 (USA) / 16th Nov 2001 (UK/EU)Bucking the trend of low quality movie-licensed tie-ins on handheld platforms, Harry Potter and The Philosopher's/Sorcerer's Stone was a wonderfully solid little RPG and, in our opinion, legitimately in the running for Best Harry Potter game evs — certainly in the top three (not that the series boasts a host of stone cold classics, but still). Its turn-based RPG gameplay fit Harry's spell-filled wizarding world perfectly and it remains one of the best interpretations of the source material in video game form. Flipendo!

42. Crystalis (GBC)

6.7 Profile

Publisher: Nintendo / Developer: SNKRelease Date: 26th Jun 2000 (USA)

Developed by SNK – before it became the fighting game factory of the 1990s – Crystalis made quite an impression on the NES when it was released in 1990, and this Game Boy Color remake – coded by Nintendo Software Technology, no less – is viewed by many fans as a step backwards. Sweeping plot changes are involved, and there's a whole new soundtrack. The visuals are also a little cramped due to the Game Boy Color's smaller display. Even so, it's still one of the best RPGs on Nintendo's handheld, and if you're approaching it having never played the NES original (which is on the SNK 40th Anniversary Collection on Switch, by the way) then you'll find plenty to enjoy.

41. Toki Tori (GBC)

6.7 Review 8/10 Profile

Publisher: Two Tribes / Developer: Two TribesRelease Date: 12th Sep 2001 (USA) / 1st Mar 2002 (UK/EU)

Toki Tori is a game many players probably missed the first time around, though it's easy to catch up with the game these days on Switch. With forty increasingly challenging main stages and several optional hard stages, you're likely be entertained for a good amount of time before reaching the end of the GBC original, and there's something to be said about experiencing this fun puzzle platformer on the system it was originally designed for.

Resident Evil Gaiden didn’t even make the top 50? Who was spamming it with low reviews? There’s no chance it’s worse than a Yu-Gi-Oh and DBZ game.

2PlusUltraMon 31st May 2021

I regret not participating, but am super happy legendary super warriors made the list. Its actually a decent game boy game. To pull off both a turned based and card based system was pretty cool, plus there were tons of characters.

I wish king of fighters was on the list. Glad mario tennis and wario made it.

3abdiasMon 31st May 2021

Pokemon Cristal is better than Gold/Silver by far. The only advantage gold and silver have is that they are playable on Super Game Boy (and DMG Gameboy too)

4ObeseChihuahua2Mon 31st May 2021

How did Pokemon Gold and Silver rank about both Pokemon Crystal AND both Zelda Oracle games?!

5dimiMon 31st May 2021

Pokemon Crystal and Gold Silver are basically the same game! So yeah Pokemon used to be the very best back then

6dartmonkey Mon 31st May 2021

@PlusUltra You can still participate! The list is dynamic and depends on each game's User Rating.

7ScreenMon 31st May 2021

Gold/Silver is not better than Crystal.

8TryToBeHopefulMon 31st May 2021

Tetris DX also has a working high score table, OG Tetris' biggest annoyance. Mr Driller, sadly doesn't, which is a reason just to go for Mr Driller 2 on GBA.

9TottMon 31st May 2021

While some will argue the specific ranks, the Zelda games and Pokemon games for me were the absolute best of the GBC library. So seeing Oracles, Link's Awakening, and Gold/ Silver/ Crystal all in the top 10 just makes sense. Ranks will always vary slightly, but the right ones are near the top, for me. Solid list — makes me want to dig out these carts and give em another go.

10KingMikeMon 31st May 2021

You say the first Harry Potter is the best, but it ranks lower?As how Pokemon Crystal ranks lower than Gold/Silver.I mean, leaving out Mareep was a huge mistake, but I don't think GS should still be better. Not sure why the two Oracle games have different release dates, but I've learned not to pay too much attention to NL's retro release dates.

11KingMikeMon 31st May 2021

Survival Kids sounds like an idea that was used in a Super Famicom game that has not yet been even fan-translated. Mujintou Monogatari (which I'm guessing means something like Uninhabited Island Story).Sports games with a RPG mode I think has been done only a couple times before. Final Lap Twin for the TurboGrafx had that, as well as the unreleased NES port of the arcade hockey game Hit the Ice (it was released on other consoles, but that RPG mode would've been an NES exclusive feature).

12RalizahMon 31st May 2021

I'm still sour S-E never localized the 3DS Dragon Quest Monsters games.

13TheWingedAvengerMon 31st May 2021

@Screen Actually, Gold and Silver ARE better than Crystal. Gold is currently at 1900 dollars an ounce, and silver is at 28 dollars an ounce. An ounce of crystal, on the other hand, is worth a few cents at the most.

14kirby2000Mon 31st May 2021

It's not a good sign when the first 15 of the top 50 are full of reviews saying the games are crap. The original Gameboy had way more great games.

15SinisterMon 31st May 2021

Pokemon and Zelda in the top 10 was expected but is correct. Those games are endlessly replayable.@KingMike Not having Mareep in Crystal was the biggest flaw of the game.

16LeighDapaMon 31st May 2021

❗NO 'Blade'?SHAM!

17PickledKong64Mon 31st May 2021

Genuinely my least favorite Nintendo library.

18KrisiMon 31st May 2021

@Screen @ObeseChihuahua2 @abdias Crystal is obviously better, as it's an enhanced version of the other two, but it actually adds just a little more content and was sold as a full-price game. Sure, I grew up with Crystal, and loved it to bits, but look at it this way: when Gold/Silver came out, they were absolutely incredible games, in themselves or compared to the first generation. Then Crystal came out a year later, and it was much less exciting, as it was pretty much the same game with some minor stuff added. The achievements of Crystal are pretty much just the extra stuff, but we can thank everything else we love about gen 2 to G/S.

19KrisiMon 31st May 2021

@PickledKong64 What about the Virtual Boy? N64 DD? DSi?

20BigBabyPeachMon 31st May 2021

This is a decent list. The only glaring omission for me is Motocross Maniacs 2 - genuinely one of the most addicting games I've ever played.

21mauhlin12Mon 31st May 2021

A lot of those Pokemon and Zelda games in the top 10 are also on 3DS VC, probably cheaper to go that route than find the carts on Ebay.

22Guitar_bardMon 31st May 2021

I never really got into the GBC back in the day, but when i got my 1st 3ds a few years ago I started to check out a bunch of GBC games on the eshop.

There have been some really awesome games on it, between the Zeldas, Wario Lands, Shantae, etc. I have been really happy to have the ability to play a bunch of them now.

23PlusUltraMon 31st May 2021

@dartmonkey Thanks

24tendonerdMon 31st May 2021

May they all come to switch online soon.

25MajorasLapdogMon 31st May 2021

Hey, a reference to Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcast! I actually appear in an episode of that show asking a question to one of his guests! It's my very minor claim to fame. Lovely to see a reference to a love of mine in another love of mine

26mandlecreedMon 31st May 2021

No Cannon Fodder in the list what now? In all seriousness, the GBC port was fantastic given the hardware it was on.

27StrumpanMon 31st May 2021

@TheWingedAvenger depends on what crystal it is.

28sdelfinMon 31st May 2021

I was very much into the Neo Geo Pocket when the Game Boy Color was current, so I only played a little bit of GBC here and there. A list like this is a good way to see what's worth checking out if I feel the need. I do remember keeping up with news and reviews then and seeing clever ways developers were using the GBC which is something I always appreciated. Making Street Fighter Alpha work well on the system may be a good example of that. There's not much reason to play that version now other than to see how they dealt with the hardware limits, but the single-player only wouldn't have bothered me. Most of my time with fighting games has been against the CPU and, despite what most people say, I've always found that to be quite fun.

I have been reluctant to try the Wario Land sequels. The shift toward puzzle platforming sounds less appealing to me. I was a big fan of the original Wario Land on the original Game Boy. I last played it about six months ago and had a great time still. I'll have to read more about the follow ups. Hearing that Zelda Oracle of Seasons is combat heavy and straightforward sounds like my style. I've been meaning to dive into all the old Zeldas I missed and a few I haven't played in a long time but did enjoy. As for Metal Gear Solid, I really like how they shrunk the game down. It looks good and plays well. As with most things MGS, I found the dialogue parts far too wordy, and I didn't love the stage design as much. I would have preferred more emphasis on stealth and combat and less on exploring and looking for items. But the game is what it is. The VR missions are closer to what I enjoy. I'm glad I played it though.

29Sisilly_GTue 1st Jun 2021

I think it's stupid to give separate ranks for Gold, Silver, and Crystal, as they're all virtually the same game (with Crystal being a glorified deluxe version).

But the Gen II Pokémon games are my absolute favourites in the series, perhaps followed closely by the excellent Gen V games (which I would love to play again, but couldn't bear to write over my save data!).

I absolutely love GB and GBC games though, and I would throw myself at compilations of the library's very best.

30HarmonieTue 1st Jun 2021

Not to get too pedantic, but Pokemon Gold/Silver are actually Gameboy games that can be played in color on the GBC. So they're kinda hybridish? Not sure it's a big deal, but they are technically GB games.Pokemon Crystal is the one that is GBC exclusive.

31BulbasaurusRexTue 1st Jun 2021

@Harmonie A bunch of the games on this list are the same way, but they're still advertised as GBC games on their boxes. It would be a truly pathetic list if they stuck solely to the relatively small amount of GBC exclusives.

32HalBailmanTue 1st Jun 2021

I've played NONE of these games. I actually didn't get a Gameboy until quite late, and never a GBC. I was content with the NES and saw the Gameboy as something for kids. My mom, who bought the NES for me one Christmas, was the one to buy me a transparent Gameboy complete with Space Invaders & Galaxians in the box. I would have bought about 5 more games for it myself over time.

33AsakiTue 1st Jun 2021

DON'T WORRY, GUYS, CRYSTAL IS BEATING GOLD & SILVER NOWI can't believe Harvest Moon outranks Harvest Moon 3.I feel like the Dragon Warrior games would rank a lot higher if more than 40 people had played them. I, II, and III on GBC are the sole reasons that I never played Gold/Silver when they came out.

34SPL64Tue 1st Jun 2021

Very good list!But I thinking will be counting only GBC exclusive titles.Fun fact: the first dedicated cartridge to the system is Top Gear Pocket.

35TheWingedAvengerTue 1st Jun 2021

@Strumpan Hey, this is a G-rated website! You mustn't talk about crystal m___.

36NerdyBoutKirbyTue 1st Jun 2021

Donkey Kong GB: Dinky Kong and Dixie Kong should be included, but it's not catalogued on Nintendo Life. A definite 9/10.

37FargusPelagiusTue 1st Jun 2021

Good to see MGS at 4, it is certainly my number one as i have never been a fan of Pokemon at all. Links Awakening was brilliant too, but i always consider that a GB game as that is my first fond memory of that game.

38TryToBeHopefulTue 1st Jun 2021

@MajorasLapdog we stopped listening after he called my wife a bitch (as a joke). We've just about forgiven him however many years later. I used to feature on the Edinburgh Fringe podcasts a lot.

39TryToBeHopefulTue 1st Jun 2021

@NerdyBoutKirby Is it not just (basically) Japanese 'Donkey Kong Land III'?

40MajorasLapdogTue 1st Jun 2021

@TryToBeHopeful oof that’s rough. His humour does come across as mean-spirited and bitter sometimes and I can’t imagine he’s a particularly pleasant bloke. His podcasts are always amusing though, the emergency questions spruce things up and his guest list is basically unparalleled (except for maybe Adam Buxton’s) if you want to hear some candid conversations with some of Britain’s biggest names in comedy.While we’re on the topic of podcasts (and decidedly not on actual topic), everybody should check out Athletico Mince. Not many podcasts have me grinning ear to ear so consistently

41ThegaminggeekTue 1st Jun 2021

Weird that neither of the Spider-Man games cracked top 50.

42HarmonieTue 1st Jun 2021

@BulbasaurusRex I see. TBH, I didn't have too many GB or GBC games, so I wasn't aware of other GB games that played in color on the GBC.

43PickledKong64Tue 1st Jun 2021

@Krisi do those really count tho?

44RadioShadowTue 1st Jun 2021

Where the heck is Micro Machines 1 + 2?

45KrisiTue 1st Jun 2021

@PickledKong64 I mean sure, they are Nintendo libraries, right?

46NerdyBoutKirbyTue 1st Jun 2021

@TryToBeHopeful But in color, and Bear isn’t animated for some reason. It’s the definitive way to experience DKLIII.

47JokerwolfWed 2nd Jun 2021

Megaman Extreme 1/2 are missing, excellent games.

48NintendoArchiveWed 2nd Jun 2021

Has anyone on their staff even played the oracle games, from their description, I highly doubt it.

Wario didn't even break the top 5? Booo.

54CaleBoi25Sat 21st Oct 2023

I am currently playing through LoZ:OoA and OoS and am really enjoying Seasons (which I started first). Really hoping for a two-pack remake some day!

55WaffleRaptor01Sat 21st Oct 2023

I might be the only one who thinks Link's Awakening sad story is exaggerated.

I keep hearing fans talk about how you form a connection it's with characters only to be heartbroken in the end.

I'm not knocking the gameplay. That part is stellar, but I do question if alot of this supposed deep story stem from outside influences, because I found none of it in the game.

Link is a mute, you interact with the inhabits for no more than a few seconds, and the supposed closed bond you form with Marin seems questionable. There is virtually no character development, from start to finish. You just meet a cast of quirky individuals and then done.

You meet her a couple of times, she tells you about wanting to be reborn a bird, and then you're gone. You don't remotely spend enough time with the cast of characters to form any sort of believable bond.

The ending asks you to feel sad, but the game doesn't immersive you enough in it's world to feel sad at all. The remake, which had a chance to do that, doesn't.

That's why I wonder if some of that supposed deepness comes from outside factors, than from the actual game itself.

56NinfanSat 21st Oct 2023

Only really liked the wario games, really good.

57RappinRootbeerSat 21st Oct 2023

I will die on the hill that the Oracle games are overrated, bottom-tier Zelda and not very good.

58Quiet2downSat 21st Oct 2023

@RappinRootbeer They are still fun, but the best way I can explain this is, they feel fragmented.After reading up on how the supposed original idea was 3 games, it looks Capcom might have had this huge idea, but due to issues, just scrapped the supposed 3rd game and split in between the current two.As, the article sates Oracle of Seasons has a barebones story, while Ages doesn't. However, playing the latter first, enhances the former.My belief is due to the original idea failing, Capcom couldn't make this quite complete epic trilogy they wanted. As a result, some of the story ideas had to be scrapped because of limitations.

59sketchturnerSat 21st Oct 2023

I'm happy with the 3 Zeldas at the top, and I'm glad Wario 2 is as well, but Survival Kids should 100% be in the top 5. Phenomenal game. For me it would be #2 after Link's Awakening.

60PaulBizkitSat 21st Oct 2023

It's too bad that fan-translated games never make it to these lists, because Star Ocean Blue Sphere is an amazing action rpg with one of the best sprite works on the console (if we take out non-action games like the sakura taisen ones), the second Pokemon TCG game and Samurai Kid, all really good games.

61John_DeaconSat 21st Oct 2023

When Link's Awakening, which will be in my best games ever list, is your competitor, it's really hard to win, but my favorite GBC game is Ganbare Goemon - Hoshizorashi Dynamites Arawaru!! It's got a lot of elements which make gameplay really fun both for your first play or replays (excellent 8-bit 2d platforming, nice bosses with great diversity, a nice overworld map that allows you to go back to previous stages to get items, towns to visit, shops where you can buy upgrades and other items). I really recommend it!

It was never released out of Japan, but there's little text and it won't be a problem for you

62__jamiieSat 21st Oct 2023

It seems so bizarre to me now that there would be a 3 year gap between hardware being released in Japan and Europe.

63SpeedRunRocksSat 21st Oct 2023

Metal Gear destroys every other title not named Zelda. It's sooooo good! Still worth the $100+ for a loose cartridge.

64defrbSat 21st Oct 2023

Very good list, i couldn't agree more.

65zawa113Sat 21st Oct 2023

I quite enjoyed Magi Nation, wish more people would give it a chance (it's based on a card game, but I had no problem with zero knowledge of this before hand, it just came off as more of a really good Pokemon knockoff with hilarious dialogue)

66CronodougSat 21st Oct 2023

Just seeing Harry Potter on this list makes me proud.

67PowerphoenixSat 21st Oct 2023

If you're into modding you should play Mega Man 5 World. It's a Gameboy Color mod of Mega Man 5 and it's excellent!!

68Ade117Sun 22nd Oct 2023

The Game Boy Color was my first handheld ever. Cheers to 25 years!

69KingMikeSun 22nd Oct 2023

@dartmonkey Actually only Europe got both versions of Pocket Bomberman. Japan only got the monochrome version and North America only got the color version.

70KingMikeSun 22nd Oct 2023

I don't know if it's telling of the Game Boy Color's short history that the game rated the best is an incremental upgrade of a previously available game.

71__jamiieSun 22nd Oct 2023

@KingMike But the Game Boy Color itself was an incremental upgrade of a previously available console.

72LEGEND_MARIOIDSun 22nd Oct 2023

I was more of a GBA man in the GB era of consoles. I did have a cousins hand me down, second hand GBC though which I enjoyed a number of their games, and a handful of additional, self bought ones. Links Awakening DX was superb and "signature game" of the console for me. Loved Pokemon Pinball, Tetris DX, Mario Golf and Tennis, Pokemon Crystal, Metal GS. Ah good times.

The definitive version of Link’s Awakening is still the monochrome original. It is very well designed, very atmospheric and just perfect in every way.

The remake and the game boy color port are nice too, but I will always recommend the original one over those, due to the garish colors and overpowered items available in the GBC port and the fact that the remake is an entirely different game.

Feature: Game Boy Color - A Quarter Century Of Colour Nintendo Handhelds

GBC memories

by Gavin Lane Mon 1st Jan 2024

Share:1.3k

Image: Zion Grassl / Nintendo LifeIt's now 25 years since Game Boy Color launched, and for many of us in the West, it was on this system that we first caught and traded Pocket Monsters with pals back in 1998.

Image: Zion Grassl / Nintendo Life

Backwards compatible with the entire Game Boy library, the Game Boy Color refined the DMG and the smaller Game Boy Pocket with its sharp little colour screen and contoured body that felt even more comfortable in your hands and your pockets. It wasn't backlit, so there was still room for improvement, but in addition to the colour on the screen, a range of snazzy case colours (which matched the five colours of the COLOR in the system’s logo) reinforced the idea that the GBC was, in fact, the idealised, final expression of the 8-bit system that launched nine years prior.

Is the GBC its own console or part of the OG Game Boy 'family'? Nintendo lumps its exclusive colour titles together with the monochrome library in the Nintendo Switch Online app, but it had plenty of its own exclusives. (There’s a poll at the bottom of the page, so let us know where you fall on this generational divide!)

Guide 50 Best Game Boy Color (GBC) Games Of All Time

The top 50 GBC games, as ranked by you

Ultimately, it doesn't matter if you consider the GBC its own system or not — it's part of a lineage of portable perfection and lovely little thing. In honour of the occasion, here, a handful of us on Team Nintendo Life look back fondly on a console that, for so many gamers, opened a door to a whole world of portable Nintendo goodness...

Ollie Reynolds, staff writer

Image: Zion Grassl / Nintendo Life

I distinctly remember getting my Game Boy Color on Christmas Day back in 1999. Pokémon Blue had launched just a few months earlier in the UK and I was already totally enamoured with the TV series at this point, so my excitement was through the roof.

Those early days were some of the best of my gaming life. For one, the Game Boy Color was the first piece of hardware that I could wholly call my own; up until that point, anything I’d played either belonged to my older brother or had been passed down when he upgraded to the next big thing.

Naturally, then, I carried my Game Boy Color everywhere and sunk absurd amounts of hours into Pokémon. I was in love with the franchise at this point, and I remember my friends and I would link up during our lunch breaks at school and trade Pokémon. To this day, it’s still the only Pokémon game that I’ve managed to 100% complete, and it’s honestly not even close.

One thing that makes me chuckle to this day, however, is that I used to think the console’s batteries were running out whenever my Pokémon got poisoned in battle. I didn’t realise that the flickering screen was linked to the status change and I honestly thought the handheld was simply struggling to keep its lights on. Please tell me I’m not the only one to make this mistake!

Alana Hagues, deputy editor

I don't have anything earth-shattering to say about the Game Boy Color. It was the first console I could really call "my own" — lime-green coloured, so it stood out next to all the other home consoles I had to share with my brother. But the GBC? It was mine.

Like any kid in the late '90s, it was all Pokémon. I took my GBC to school, and I managed to grab a link cable and trade Pokémon with my friends — though we definitely got into trouble for trying to do it between classes. Hamtaro: Ham-Hams Unite!, Super Mario Land, Mario Golf, and Pokémon Pinball became my companions for sneaky late nights and distracted weekend mornings, but mainline Pokémon was my true obsession.

Pokémon Yellow was my very first RPG as a result. It taught me about the strategy of turn-based battles and the fun of exploration — and Pokémon Silver only expanded upon that a few years later. I became a Pokémaniac before an RPG friend, though, and that meant I desperately wanted one of those Yellow GBCs.

Alas, it never came to be... — Image: Damien McFerran / Nintendo Life

The unique colours of each console, and the limited edition, made me grow a real appreciation for unique hardware designs. My eyes always light up at interesting console colours as a result of the GBC, and even if there's a collaboration I'm not interested in, I'll always take time to admire the variations in a console.

Like much of my childhood, however, my GBC is no longer part of my small collection, but I have to wonder how different my tastes would be had I not played Pokémon Yellow all those years ago. It's the reason I love playing games while wrapped up in a blanket, whatever the weather.

Kate Gray, contributor

I had the Atomic Purple GBC, like all the cool kids did. It was largely a Tetris-in-the-car machine — I still get goosebumps whenever I see a rocket taking off — but I slowly amassed a collection of surprisingly good movie adaptations, too, like the Toy Story Racer game that Traveller's Tales made, or the Harry Potter game that cemented itself in my nostalgia gland like something I should probably see the doctor about.

Here's a fun little anecdote for you, though: I accidentally Pavlov'd myself into needing to pee whenever I play games in the car, and it's all thanks to the Game Boy Color. Some neuron connection in my brain managed to link "video games in the car" with "I really need to pee," because, well, as a kid, those are the two things that you do in the car, and ever since then, I can't play ANYTHING in the car without my brain going "OOOH, OOH, I KNOW THIS ONE." No DS, no 3DS, no Switch. You'd think the increased graphical fidelity would bamboozle my brain out of recognising it as "video games," but no.

Image: Zion Grassl / Nintendo Life

Sadly, I don't have my GBC anymore, and I don't actually know why. Did I trade it in for my Game Boy SP, which I also don't have anymore (it was the silver one)? Did I leave it behind at a grandparent's house? Did I drop it in the ocean, like Rose at the end of Titanic? I guess we'll never find out. RIP, little GBC.

Gavin Lane, editor

The Game Boy Color was my first Game Boy — the machine on which I played Pokémon, Link's Awakening, and Super Mario Land 2. Yep, I never had to contend with the DMG's blurry screen back in the day.

One of my fondest memories is playing, of all things, Super Mario Bros. Deluxe — more specifically, looking at the extra modes and applications in that particular port. With the calendar, you were able to skip years ahead and discern what day of the week, say, 21st October 2023 was going to be. Amazing!... Okay, perhaps not amazing, but in those nascent days of the internet when you couldn't just ask Siri what day it would be a thousand years from now, that little function on the SMB GBC port felt like magical prognostication.

I've still got my original Teal system, and it's in sparkling nick, too. Obviously, my OG console has a special place in my heart, but last year a gift from fellow Nintendo Lifer Liam Doolan had me reevaluating things. He very generously sent me an Ozzie! Ozzie! Ozzie! variant from his Australian homeland, and it's a thing of beauty!

Images: Gavin Lane / Nintendo Life

I've got half a mind to mod it with a new backlit screen, but I'm also hesitant to crack into such a relatively rare console. Maybe I should give my Teal the treatment?

Ah, we love you GBC. Let us know your Game Boy Color memories and favourite games in the comments, and let us know where you stand on it being part of the Game Boy 'family' of systems in this poll...

I have no nostalgia for it. My first Nintendo product was the GBA. For those of you who did grow up with GBC, it must have been one heck of an experience when Advance launched.

2QwiffSat 21st Oct 2023

Fond memories. For me, Pokemon Pinball, with its rumble pak, stands out in particular.

3ear_wigSat 21st Oct 2023

Great article. Having started at the OG Gameboy, the Color was a revelation. Very fond memories of playing both old and new games on that machine. I think I had a transparent purple one… was that a thing? Like so many childhood toy stuffs those old systems are gone with the wind…

4LadyCharlieSat 21st Oct 2023

@Vexx234 I was in middle school when the Game Boy Color dropped, and it was relevatory! It was so amazing to see Game Boy games in color, and to be able to add color to old games.The GBA was a game changer, for sure. But for the 3 years in between, the GBC was magical.

5LadyCharlieSat 21st Oct 2023

25 years!!? I really need time to slow down please

6StarryCielSat 21st Oct 2023

The GBC is one of my favorite handhelds, I just love how pretty much every first-party game in its library has something really cool going for it. Wario Land 3 and Pokemon's day-night cycles, Pokemon Puzzle Challenge and Game & Watch Gallery 3 hiding unreleased games as secrets or unlockables, Super Mario Bros Deluxe's laundry list of bonus content, Pokemon GSC's postgame, the linked Oracle Zeldas, Hamtaro giving its protagonist 86 unique context-sensitive animations, Tilt & Tumble's motion controls, and the JP-only Mobile Golf having actual online support and DLC. I didn't even mention Link's Awakening DX, Game & Watch Gallery 2, Wario Land 2, Tetris DX, Pokemon Trading Card Game, and the Mario Tennis & Golf games. It's one of Nintendo's most consistently strong first-party lineups despite how small it is.

7Chaotic_NeutralSat 21st Oct 2023

I have put my original yellow one In a box frame with a copy of Pokemon yellow and a Pikachu card.

8MooseTinselSat 21st Oct 2023

I loved this system, I apparently even played it when i was little so it's kinda fate that I do lolI'll also love how they used the same name worldwide

9DasWunderkindSat 21st Oct 2023

I collected and recycled aluminum cans for 3 months when I was 14 years old because I really wanted one. I got the lime green one and had Link's Awakening DX, Tetris, Batman, SML1 & 2. When the Pokemon cartoon hit a friend of mine at school lent me his copy of red and said I could return it whenever.

I caught a Mew and evolved it, then did the missingno bug to get 99 everything it made the game so much more fun. But after that I just lost interest in the series. Despite buying a GBA when it launched the console never really did much for me, and the new Pokemon designs just looked deritive and cheesy. By this point I was in college and had moved on to the Dreamcast with its awesome arcade library. I miss the GBC days and still play GB games on my backlit rg351p.

10KingMikeSat 21st Oct 2023

I got my Game Boy Color as a birthday gift in 2000, along with a copy of Dragon Warrior I+II.DQ2 was a tough game, so I ended up not actually finishing it until the end of the decade.Though I previously, and still own, my green case OG Game Boy as well.

11Vexx234Sat 21st Oct 2023

@LadyCharlie Sounds like a happy time spent growing up. Though if you were in middle school, that means I was just a tad bit younger. Back then I was a Lego Fanatic. Seeing the shift from black and white, to color, to even more detail, must've made your eyes burn from staring at the screen too long.

@StarryCiel Wario Land 3 was my first, first party Nintendo game. He became one of my favorite characters of all time. Wario is the kind of guy who's willing to save the day... If gold is involved.

12TheMenaceToSocietySat 21st Oct 2023

I may have only just gotten an Atomic Purple Game Boy Color a couple months ago, but I’m ready to build up my game library for it. And replace the (naturally) broken speaker.

13Ryu_NiiyamaSat 21st Oct 2023

Still have mine. Was essentially a Pokémon machine but yep still works just fine.

14JayJSat 21st Oct 2023

GBC was the first real upgrade for the Game Boy line. Lots of good memories with that system, the golden age of Game Boy IMO.

15CoolmusicSat 21st Oct 2023

Happy 25th anniversary GBC! This was my very first Nintendo handheld system, ahh the memories.

16AndroidiOSSat 21st Oct 2023

I have no nostalgia for the GBC.I had one for about three months as I traded it in for GBA games.Game-wise, I like Super Mario Bros. DX, Tetris DX and Blade.

17HexagonSunSat 21st Oct 2023

My first portable was the DMG in '89, so I was a young adult when I picked up the Gameboy Color. I remember playing a lot of Wario Land, Super Mario Bros. Deluxe and Dragon Quest. Great little system. My biggest memory with all the Gameboys before the SP was finding that perfect spot near a lamp that illuminated the game without causing glare. Nostalgic to recall, but I'm glad those days are over. I have back light modded Gameboy systems, a Super Gameboy and a Gameboy Player for replaying those games now.

18betterthanvegasSat 21st Oct 2023

Love the GBC. My first handheld was the original Game Boy so the idea of color in my games on the go was unbelievable. It took me 10 months to save up enough to buy one. I now have the Pokemon GBC from the pic above with an IPS screen and fresh speaker. It's wonderful and the games have never looked better (yes, they're still old and pretty blocky.) Now if I could just find a copy of Crystal locally I'd be set

19DpullamSat 21st Oct 2023

I had a Game Boy Color when I was a kid, I believe it was a turquoise colored one. I didn't have it very long though, because I recieved it as a gift around the time that the Game Boy Advance came out, so I was very quickly upgraded to the Game Boy Advance. I still have fun memories of the short time that I had one though.

20PauloSat 21st Oct 2023

I voted it's absolutely its own thing because of the exclusive titles that could not be played on the old GB (clear carts) and also because many other titles run better on the GBC, despite being compatible with the older models (black carts such as Ghosts'n Goblins). Also, the plethora of titles released in such short period. But, alas, I don't think the GBC has aged as well as the GBA.

21LightsiydSat 21st Oct 2023

My first Nintendo console was a black Game Boy Advance SP, which was where I first came across the mindblowing Metroid Fusion and Yoshi's Island, along with Crash Nitro Kart and Dragonball Z Supersonic Warriors. Good times.❤️

I did manage to play the occasional GBC and GBA from a few friends before that though.

22dimiSat 21st Oct 2023

I lost my original one and all my cartridges...(mom must throw it out something). Got a modded GBC with IPS v.2 now though, so. great. I don't FOMO not having Analogue Pocket, just a little

23AndyMcDonaldSat 21st Oct 2023

I started with the original big, grey, clunky Game Boy but I later got the yellow Pikachu GBC for free - it was in the lost and found of a pub where my dad was friendly with the barman and he kindly gave it to me. I loved how the power light was Pikachu's cheek.Great games in the Game Boy catalogue though - the amount of hours (and batteries) I must have sank into the first two Pokemon gens, the Mario Land series, Wario Land 2, Pocket Bomberman... Can't remember which others I had but very happy times!

24JJtheTexanSat 21st Oct 2023

I still have my original Atomic Purple Game Boy Color, a Christmas gift in 1998! I was a college student at the time.I didn't get many GBC-exclusive games for it, but it really did give new life to my existing Game Boy library.My favorite GBC game is still The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX, though I really do love launch title Tetris DX. I'd love to see it come to Nintendo Switch Online...

25SpoonySpoonsSat 21st Oct 2023

I’ve got a lot of nostalgia for it, but only because of 3DS VC and a jailbroken iphone back in 2013. I spent a ton of time playing Links Awakening DX and Metroid II during the holidays that year.

26DualmaskSat 21st Oct 2023

My first handheld was the OG Game Boy, and I have a great deal of nostalgia for that, but I didn't spend a ton of time on the Color specifically. I think I only played a couple of games on it, Link's Awakening DX and Pokemon Red. Someone had stolen my original Game Boy and most of the games so it was kind of a tough time until I moved onto Game Boy Advance.

27PoodlestargenericaSat 21st Oct 2023

The Gbc had a better processor and color, and was such a huge step up from the pocket that it's laughable.

28IceEarthGuardSat 21st Oct 2023

Don't have any memories for the Gameboy colour handheld console. Only the Gameboy SP because I played all my GB games on there. Did play the OG one a bit, but went back to the SP.

29MeatSauceSat 21st Oct 2023

GBC was my 1st Gameboy. I never had any interest in the original gameboy as a child it was rare we got many games so I didn’t want to waste an opportunity to get a new console game over a subpar handheld one.In late 98 I was getting way more games. I got a n64 in october and my parents promised to get me ocarina of time for christmas. They forgot to preorder and couldn’t find it for christmas. As a make good my mom bought me a gbc with link’s awakening and that thing went everywhere with me.

30Magic_Salmon_ProSat 21st Oct 2023

I really should hurry up finishing the GBC port of Super Dinoblasters and get it out this year for the 25th anniversary!

31Magic_Salmon_ProSat 21st Oct 2023

@LikeWhoa "caught a mew and evolved it" surely I'm not the only one reading this thinking what on earth did you evolve the mew into?

32TyranexxSat 21st Oct 2023

My silver Special Pikachu Edition GBC was gifted to me for my 10th birthday; any Pokemon fan knows how symbolic this age is. Along with Pokemon Gold, I also received Tweety's High-Flying Adventure (not a bad platformer overall) and Scooby-Doo! Classic Creep Capers (A loose retelling of the classic Jekyll/Hyde episode from the original series). Those three were there in the beginning, though I obtained other games over time - including most of the other Gen 1 and 2 Pokemon games. Others were borrowed. Some I did miss out on and didn't get to play until the merciful 3DS VC a decade ago.I still own my old GBC, and it does function. It has some battle scars from being dragged almost everywhere by a Pokemon-obsessed kid, and up/down on the directional pad have input delays. Most importantly, it was the first video game system I could call my own. Before that point, any gaming I did was on systems at my aunt's or at another babysitter, or the PC games available at school. This wasn't the system that started my love for Nintendo, but it certainly helped cement it!

33dustinprewittSat 21st Oct 2023

Ive always thought of it as the Pokemon console. Just a bit of a novelty made to play a novelty game series. of course, I wasnt aware of the game boy advance being on the horizon, so in retrospect, it feels like a bit of a stopgap

34sdelfinSun 22nd Oct 2023

I voted " Pffidunno shrugs ". It was kind of its own thing, but also not. I remember when it came out, it seemed like it was just a modest upgrade. It certainly wasn't the leap you'd expect from a next-generation device. That would come with the GBA. I wasn't into the Game Boy platform by the late 1990s. I was playing Neo Geo Pocket when the GBC came out and was very happy with that. But I remember the GBC made the Game Boy scene more interesting as I liked to read reviews to see what developers were doing as there were a number of examples of clever uses of the hardware. I've always had an appreciation for when developers found interesting uses for limited hardware or somehow managed something that was unexpected.

35gopher1369Sun 22nd Oct 2023

Nintendo thinks it's the same consolehttps://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/finance/hard_soft/index.htmlBut they're wrong

36Atomic77Sun 22nd Oct 2023

I think each version is a new console. Just like the OLED is a special version of the Switch.

37OrtadragoonXSun 22nd Oct 2023

@Vexx234

It was. I had a GBC (before that I was a Game Gear kid) and when the GBA came out it blew my mind. I got one on day one with Super Mario Advance. It was Glacier.

38Ade117Sun 22nd Oct 2023

Playing Pokémon Blue on my GBC was my early childhood.

39JohnnyMindSun 22nd Oct 2023

Considering the number of exclusive games for it - it's definitely not the same situation as the New 3DS - I'd confidently say the Game Boy Color was its own console but regardless, thank you Game Boy Color for letting me play those and also Game Boy games (like Gavin we've never had the original at home)!By the way, just like Ollie and Alana the GBC was the first system I eventually didn't have to share with my siblings as a kid since our parents got my sister a red one and later a yellow Pikachu one for me!

40sdelfinSun 22nd Oct 2023

@AndyMcDonald In a strange coincidence, that's very similar to how I got the original DMG Game Boy. It was left behind at a restaurant that my grandfather ran and it was never claimed. It's how I've got an original Game Boy but have never owned Tetris, as Super Mario Land was in the slot.

41AndyMcDonaldSun 22nd Oct 2023

@sdelfin I don't think I ever had Tetris either so I'm in that minority too! I seem to recall getting the Game Boy with a carry case and maybe Super Mario Land with it. The GB Mario games were endearingly odd.

42Raw_DawgMon 23rd Oct 2023

It's the same device just updated. Nintendo does this with it's handhelds so they can sell more units without having to create a completely new device. Sega had a device that had a backlight and color. Nintendo releases a device for each. I had the light so I could play after my mother told me to turn off the lights and go to bed.lol

43TryffelMon 1st Jan 2024

it felt very old already at realese and i never bought one. 8 years after the Game gear, we got a new system with inferior graphics and still no back light, that was just tragic. After the realese of the GBA SP 101 model in 2005, when Nintendo finally made a decent screan, i have played a lot of GBC games.

44dew12333Mon 1st Jan 2024

I just saw this as an upgrade and despite there being a few games that were exclusive I never considered it worth it. I just carried on playing the grey brick until the advance and I never felt I missed anything. I seem to remember there was already rumours about the advance when this released too. That really added to the feeling that this was just a quick upgrade to slightly extend the shelf live of the game boy rather than being the next real Nintendo console.

45Skullkid87Tue 2nd Jan 2024

It’s not its own console. It’s basically a Gameboy Pro.

The Game Boy was a benchmark moment for Nintendo, as the Japanese company proved it was possible to deliver quality gaming in a handheld package. Yes, Nintendo had already released a wide variety of Game & Watch devices, but the Game Boy featured swappable cartridges to make it feel like a home console in the palms of your hands. As the 1990s were drawing to a close, it was time for an update and Nintendo delivered what would become a trademark feature in its handheld department: an iterative but well-received boost of its current hardware. The Game Boy Color made its debut in 1998 in Japan, and brought with it a fancier screen, a staggering number of colors for the time, and a punchy sound from its speaker.More Nintendo best listsBest SNES GamesBest Game Boy GamesBest N64 GamesBest GameCube GamesBest Wii GamesThis handheld also allowed for a more colorful selection of games, each one using the LCD screen to its maximum potential to deliver vibrant images and gameplay. While Nintendo hadn't kept the news of the Game Boy Advance a secret, the GBC was more than just a transitional device until the next generation of handheld gaming arrived. It was mobile Mayfly with a short lifespan on the market, but one that still saw some of Nintendo's best games released on it. We've rounded up the 10 best Game Boy Color games in alphabetical order.Best Game Boy Color gamesThe Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DXThe Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DXThe original Link's Awakening was a curious departure from the structures established in previous Legend of Zelda games. No Hyrule to explore, no Triforce relic to collect or even the titular Zelda herself, the Game Boy title was still a critically acclaimed experience when it was released in 1993. Fast forward to 1998, and looking to promote the Game Boy Color, Nintendo released the DX version of the game.Not to be confused with the iconic WWE alliance of Triple H and Shawn Michaels, the DX edition of Link's Awakening enhanced the game with fully colorized graphics, unique enemies, a unique dungeon, and color-based puzzles. There was even a photography element present, allowing for a dozen snaps to be taken and printed out using the Game Boy Printer. The end result was a treat, as one of the best Zelda games was now even better, and over a decade later, this version was re-released on the Nintendo 3DS for its virtual console.2019 would see a full remake of the legendary title for the Nintendo Switch, which riffed on the original with a gorgeous retro-modern art style.The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages and Oracle of SeasonsThe Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages and Oracle of SeasonsZelda mania was still running wild in the early 2000s, and hot off the release of the genre-defining Ocarina of Time and its underrated follow-up Majora's Mask, came this quirky adventure on the Game Boy Color. Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons took an unusual approach to the Zelda formula, with each one focusing on a specific theme and gameplay ideas. Oracle of Seasons was Zelda with the action dialed up to 11, while Oracle of Ages focused more on the trademark puzzles of the franchise.Either game was brilliant in action and animated with quirky pixel perfection on the Game Boy Color, but owning both would reveal some real magic under the Nintendo hood. Using a password system, both games could communicate with each other and help create a more complete experience. Finish the one game, and you'd get a password which could be used on the partner title to drastically change the journey and replace the Veran and Onox boss fight with a classic showdown against Ganon.There hasn't been another Zelda adventure like the Oracle games, but this pair of colorful siblings gave the Game Boy Color a terrific send-off just as the Game Boy Advance was preparing to hit the market.Mario GolfMario GolfGolf on the go, and you didn't even need to pay membership fees or risk your access being revoked if you weren't properly dressed, Mario Golf is one of those titles that perfectly showed off what the Game Boy Color was capable of with its eye-catching colors, pick-up-and-play mentality, and tons of extras loaded into the cart memory. Whether you were teeing off for a hole-in-one or measuring for a precise putt, Mario Golf was easily the best handheld golf game at the time. It was even better with the N64 connectivity that could give more established franchises a run for their money back then.Mario TennisMario TennisServing up some more Mario-themed sports action on the Game Boy Color, Mario Tennis was notable for how sparingly it used its cast of Mushroom kingdom citizens. While Mario and friends would appear in Exhibition mode and as the final challengers in this tennis showdown, the focus was more on growing your rookie sensation and investing ability points in their growth. The idea worked splendidly, and if you were attached to your tennis hero, you could even transfer them over to the N64 version of Mario Tennis for a more three-dimensional debut on the court.Metal Gear SolidMetal Gear SolidMetal Gear Solid on PlayStation was one of the defining games of its time for good reason. Metal Gear Solid on the Game Boy Color though? This port was a surprisingly faithful handheld version of what made the 1998 game so successful, only stripped down to its classic roots so that it could work on the Game Boy Color. A perfect example of how a spin-off can and should strive to provide the same level of entertainment as the original title.The Game Boy Color version of Metal Gear Solid succeeded at providing a quality handheld spin-off experience, throwing an alternate timeline Snake back into action against an Outer Heaven separatist group, each operative having their own specialty and a ludicrous codename that only this series could get away with. Not just a fun game to practice stealth and espionage tactics inside of, this version of Metal Gear Solid had an impressive story and plenty of bonus VR mission content to experiment with once the end credits had rolled. All that, on a single cartridge.Pokemon Gold / Silver/ CrystalPokemon GoldSince Pokemon Gold and Silver are our picks for the best Pokemon game, it's no surprise they've found their way onto this list. The sophomore effort from developer Game Freak amplified the catch 'em all nature of Pokemon Red and Blue on the Game Boy while adding dozens of new pocket monsters to a world that was simply popping with vibrant color. The Johto region was a joy to explore, the new Pokemon were an eclectic mix of imaginative new designs, and once the Elite Four had been beaten, the scope of Pokemon Gold and Silver expanded massively with a return to the Kanto region of the previous generation.Pokemon Gold and Silver was unmatched value for the money that delivered more than just a mere iterative sequel, greatly building on its mechanics and delivering a title that was more ambitious than ever before. The first generation of Pokemon games established a foundational template for all the games that would follow in its footsteps, but Pokemon's second-generation established a high benchmark for what future sequels could aspire to be like.Pokemon Crystal upped the ante, providing the perfect combination of Gold and Silver highlights with revolutionary animations for each pocket monster and a story more focused on the legendary hound Suicune. No matter which version you got though, this was the definitive Pokemon game of the Game Boy era. The games were later remade for Nintendo DS as Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver.Pokemon Trading Card GamePokemon Trading Card GameIn an age before Pokemon cards became a viable currency or an opulent sign of wealth that adorned the necks of YouTubers, Pokemon fever saw its collectible card game spin-off reach the Game Boy Color. The core idea of the TCG was there, as players could battle each other with the original 151 Pokemon, but it was all wrapped up in an adventure that rivaled the original Game Boy games and even outclassed them in certain departments.Developer HudsonSoft was given the job of adapting the TCG into a sprawling RPG, and the studio delivered one of the best games on the Game Boy Color with a streamlined and accessible approach to the tabletop gaming phenomenon. Battling club leaders, collecting cards, and basking in the crisp visuals made for a memorable experience--as well as a thoroughly engrossing one that was hard to put down. If there was a battery shortage in 2000, you can probably blame Pokemon Trading Card Game for its addictive one-more-turn gameplay.Super Mario Bros. DeluxeSuper Mario Bros. DeluxePorting the original Super Mario Bros. games over to the Game Boy Color and calling it a day while the nostalgia-fueled cash rolled in could have easily been done, but Nintendo took a different path with Super Mario Bros. Deluxe. More than a decade old by the time it was released on its handheld console, Nintendo filled this version of its bestselling game with tons of new content that made the entire game feel like a brand-new experience to play.Familiar territory with a a bunch of new twists, this vibrant return of Nintendo's favorite plumbers felt like a deluxe reminder of the duo's timeless adventures from the NES days.Tetris DXTetris DXTetris is as close as you can get to perfection, thanks to its timeless design, easy to learn mechanics, and the challenge of mastering it at its highest levels. The Game Boy's stroke of genius when it first launched was to include a copy of Tetris, and for the Game Boy Color, an enhanced version of Tetris was inevitable. Tetris DX was its name, and inside of its cart was a number of improvements to the stack 'em and clear 'em block-busting action of the original game.Two new gameplay modes had been added, a profile feature for save-games was present, and the game looked fantastic bright colors that made each tetromino pop. Familiar but improved, Tetris DX was another Game Boy classic in this incarnation.Wario Land 3Wario Land 3Powering up your character through exploration was an old idea by the time that Wario Land III came along, but Nintendo's unkillable bruiser found a way to make these classic concepts with a fresh new energy. Fantastically animated and packed with quirky music, each level in this game was a uniquely fun time within the game, each one building on its various elements to unlock more hidden secrets when revisited in this cult classic sequel.GameSpot Best Lists and Recommendations The Best Nintendo Switch Games The Best Xbox Series X Games To Play Right Now The Best PS5 Games So Far + Show More GameSpot Best Lists and Recommendations Links (1) The Best PC Games To Play Right Now
