SR-388: The Bigger, Badder, Not A Metroid II Remake Fan Project

We shan't be lacking Metroid fan made games any time soon, it seems, as news of Von Richter's take on the adventures of Samus Aran looks to outdo "Project AM2R" in features and function. "SR-388," as it's known, boasts thousand of frames of animation, mini-games, new weapons, new mini-bosses and more, as it's more of a re-imagining than a graphical spit-shine. It looks just super and will hopefully give me, personally, the chance to revisit Planet SR-388 without having to compromise my strict graphics whore principles.

151 Pokemons (Let Me Show Them To You)

We don't like posting auctions here. Because some other asshole makes money, and not us assholes. But for this we'll make an exception. Over at Yahoo! Auctions, one individual is auctions off 151 Game Boy Pokémon Red, Pokémon Blue, Pokémon Yellow: Special Pikachu Edition and Japan only Pokémon Green. These are the first generation Pokeé+mon. And 151 cartridges, that's a whole Pokeédex worth! The seller points out that the non-mint cartridges don't have instruction booklets or boxes, are grimy and scribbled on and make good dominos.

Why The Nintendo Hate

We've seen the reasons for the Xbox and PlayStation hatorade. Now, it's only fair to show why there's venom against Nintendo. This should bring us full circle. Ah, much better.

Game Boy PocketPrinters On Sale Again

If you are the type who collects old gaming memorabilia that will probably be actually played with once before taking up closet space, then boy oh boy do we have exciting news for you. PlayAsia is selling new, old Game Boy PocketPrinters. Originally retailing for almost $60, you can score one now for just $10 and shipping. And if you happen to have a compatible Game Boy along with the Pocket Camera peripheral as well, who needs one of those lame-ass camera phones. Am I right?

Real Game Boy Bricks (Yes, BRICKS)

The word "brick" isn't something that usually makes gamers excited. Oh no, it's something that makes us scared. No more! Since 2006, a Dutch ceramicist has been creating Game Boy bricks. Yes, bricks — like in to build stuff. He writes:


I put quite some time into creating them, in the beginning they would explode in the oven quite often..
You can see some of the exploded gameboys in the two bags in the pictures area.

There are also some gameboys i made into a wall and buried into the ground. They have been in the ground since about summer 2006.. so nature has already done its work a bit, and has grown over them.


Exploding Game Boy bricks? Get out! Click through below to get a better gander at his handy work, which you can even buy (except for the colored ones, which aren't for sale). So cool.

Remembering Gunpei Yokoi

Today, October 4th, 2007, marks the tenth anniversary of the death of Gunpei Yokoi, the Nintendo engineer responsible for inventing the company's Game & Watch and Game Boy hardware. Yokoi also acted as producer on Nintendo-developed software like Metroid and Kid Icarus with the R&D1 and Intelligent Systems teams. For those who haven't yet watched RobotBling's fantastic piece on Yokoi titled "The Greatest Inventor", I highly recommend doing so.

Great thanks to Eric for the reminder. RIP Gunpei.

Diablo On The Game Boy?

That's what Past To Present Online claims the above video is from. It's mighty unimpressive from a technical, graphical and completion perspectives and appears to have been filmed while piloting a helicopter, but it sure looks like Diablo on a Game Boy. While questionable, its alpha-build existence wouldn't be that odd. Blizzard has ported three of its older games to the Game Boy Advance and certainly didn't mind releasing the hobbled StarCraft 64. Real? Fake? What do you think? Michael McWhertor

Play Game Boy, Lose Weight

For gamers looking to drop a few pounds, the Wii is the go to console. But, what about the Game Boy? Can it help you lose weight? It's not just pressing buttons as fast as possible to burn calories. Oh, no. It's about portable gaming acting as an appetite suppressant — much in the same way smoking does. A Weight Watchers online tip explains:

Pick up a Game Boy: Playing a handheld video game can squash a food craving, says Cynthia Sass, RD, a Tampa nutritionist and spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association. "When you start to visualize your craving you've already lost half the battle," she says. "A video game occupies your eyes, your hands and your mind," she explains.

Makes sense! Now, if only I could trade my DS Lite in for a Game Boy... Brian Ashcraft More »

The Sega Master System GAM-BOY

In Korea, the PC rules. Console companies have been trying to crack the elusive market since the early days. For example, Sega teamed up with Samsung for a Mega Drive/Genesis release. And just take a look at this Sega Master System that's been dubbed the "GAM-BOY: Home Computer System" to either avoid Game Boy copyright infringement and/or confuse the hell outta customers.

The Ramshackle Game Boy Purse

This 13cm X 10cm coin purse reeks of hand-made, but in a good way! See how those letters and the embroidery aren't exactly straight. That's endearing. The US $30 price tag, that's not. Brian Ashcraft More »

Afternoon At The Nintendo Museum

Over the weekend, the fam and I hit Hankyu Department store in Umeda to check out the Nintendo Museum exhibit. Co-sponsored with magazine Nintendo Dream, the exhibition featured items from the collection of Isao Yamazaki. Goodies like retro Nintendo playing cards, post-war toys and retro consoles. Plus there were playable Wii/DS games and stuff to buy. The kid played a bit of Mario Kart on the VC — The staffer had to explain to him that the classic controller doesn't work like the Wii-mote. There were some neat items, like Mario design drawings. Anyway, I'll be uploading pics throughout my shift, so do be sure to check back. Brian Ashcraft More »

The Very Fake, Very Nice Looking PSPboy

Yes, this is totally random and clearly fake, but it was so well done that I thought I'd pass it on. We have little to no backstory to go on as to the origins of this piece of work, but this portable mash up is credited to a MOD SOUL. Kudos, Mr. Soul.
