>GBC is acceptable too I guess, if you could play it in a GBA then it counts.
What about the OG Game Boy?

That's incredible, OP! I'm happy for you. I haven't played much Game Boy, though there are a few titles I've played and enjoyed besides the ones you've already posted, and Pokémon. The Little Mermaid is a Capcom classic, just like on NES, it should be a fun time, I also like Batman since he uses a gun for some reason, and the Spider-Man titles, especially TASM2, which is a MetroidVania.

I mean, just because a lot of titles aren't talked about, doesn't mean they aren't good, they just weren't popular among the masses. I'd say that, in terms of quantity of IPs and good titles to it, the Game Boy's library is much closer to the PS1 than the N64's. I was more of a Game Gear fan, but the Game Boy is among the greatest, if not the greatest handheld ever, thanks to it's library.

I mean, it's similar to the NES, PS1, Game Boy Advance, Wii and DS in the sense that it had tons of shovelware, but it had so much good stuff too, and there are so many good titles for it to play.

I get your point, but then again this goes for the vast majority of video games, back then we'd be lucky to own a few cartridges... so we'd just play what we had over and over, and when you do, it really is a matter of time before you get good at it, and when you're good at something, it's often more fun, because even if the thing itself isn't all that fun... winning often is. It's really common...

It's great how nowadays we have many options, I think it's what contributed to this whole "haven't aged well" comment we often see, standards for video games, old and new, simply went up really.

Into the trash it goes

It's literally what I've said, they did it to sell more and they succeeded, my complaint isn't on their bussiness side of things, it's on user experience and how doable it was to have a backlight for a few bucks more, they went with the better sales decision, but my experience was 10x worse due to that. Also, stop acting as if everyone in 2001 saw things how you did, it's very disingenuous.

I'm not talking about tracking, spying or any of the other complaint and concerns you might be having with smartphones, I'm talking purely on having a portable emulator with a nice screen.

I don't get why me disliking a hardware decision Nintendo took in 2001, because my experience at the time was worse because of it, makes you so upset, the OG GBA's screen is objectively awful.

>gamestir pro x2 for my phone and this is so shitty holy fuck
How so? I'm looking into getting one, what's bad about it? I might have to change my purchase depending on its flaws and how common they are... did you get the USB-C one of the Bluetooth one?

I literally had a dream like this when I was 10, without the chocolate cake part. I wanted a game boy so badly.
