What do you think of the Wide Boy 64? I think it's pretty cool and strange how they made GBA games playable on the N64, that'd be like if Game Boy Color games would work on the NES.
I think they made it on the N64 instead of the GameCube because of the 6 months between the GBA and the GameCube, and cause the N64 uses cartridges and not discs.

I'm sure you can play Tony Hawk games on the Wide Boy 64

Probably just a cosmetic mod

I don’t think of it, as it wasn’t a commercial product. Also, not retro.

fair enough
>Also, not retro.
Both versions run on the N64, which is a retro console. the first version was even made before the year 2000, so that's undoubtedly retro

In a way, your commitment to Wikipedia diving for edge cases to keep up your shitposting is admirable. But like in the way that it would be if someone had saved all of their baby teeth well into adulthood.

Overpriced piece of shit.

Why no consoomer version?

Yeah kinda. I always found it strange how the N64 had no way of playing Game Boy games (except through Pokémon Stadium and Stadium 2, but I think that's emulation isn't it?)
The Super Game Boy 2 is great but it can't play GBC games
>>6705337
because of how rare it is
>>6705338
Probably cause the 64DD failed so much they didn't want to risk anything
