    I would love for that Game Boy-styled Game Boy Pocket.

    I just had so many flashbacks from my childhood. Its amazing. Crazy how many peripherals Nintendo has tried to stick us with huh. 90% of them sucked. What was that gameboy printer for anyways? And that super scope still looks sick.

    I know that the pokemon games allowed you to print out stickers. I believe that you could use it with the gameboy camera as well.

    Ah, the Game Boy Light (right before the DS Lite in the gallery and in the bottom-right of the picture with all the colored GB Pockets). I wanted that thing so much when I first read about it when it came out (with my Internet translation of Nintendo's Japanese website, which I mostly just used to look at the pictures), but they never released it in America, which I hated all the way up until I got my GBA SP.

    @Platypus Man: Oh I remember that website too. I remember when the GBLight was quite costly from the import retailers ( around $120 ). I didn't end up with one until shortly the Gameboy Advance released. Then I found a GBLight Gold for $56 brand spankin new !!!!

    Hmm... where is it written that without Pokémon, the Gameboy probably wouldn't have taken off as successfully?

    Looking at the Evolution... what a long, strange journey it's been... Fun too!

    @Witzbold: From Wikipedia:
    "After Japan opened up to Western game consoles following the Xbox's visits in 2003, it's political situation gradually became more and more chaotic. The country was divided along various lines of political opinion; one of these schools of thought (which had existed prior to the Xbox's arrival) was sonnō jōi: "Revere the Emperor, Expel the Barbarians."[2] Radical followers of this ideology began to commit acts of murder and violence in Kyoto, the imperial capital."

    That's messed up. Mario, how could you?

    @Marios_shadow: For some reason I just got the image of Mario getting shot at a play in Kyoto, and then getting super pissed off at the foreign dude who shot him and, while holding him on the ground, screams "You see this Fire Flower?! I'm gonna teach you to speak Japanese with this fucking Fire Flower!!"
