The Game Boy is the classic console for every 90s kid. 

It is a simple, handheld game console developed by Nintendo. Game Boy’s original designer, Gunpei Yokoi, aimed for light, inexpensive and durable system. 

What makes it special despite having only 8-bit graphics is its interchangeable cartridges. Games such as Super Mario Land, Kirby’s Dream Land, Pokémon and the best-selling Tetris were so popular that they are still being played now. 

With its simplicity and nostalgia, Game Boys are now being remade, and classic game boys are being sold at unbelievable prices.  The Game Boy is Nintendo’s most successful product of all time.
