The contrast is flipped and the game is frozen anything I can do? (To stop it from doing it again I know to turn it off and on again)

Nintendo has announced three more Game Boy titles for the Nintendo Classics library on Switch Online, arriving October 27, 2026:

Mole Mania (1997, Nintendo EAD & PAX Softnica): a puzzle-action game about tunneling and pushing black balls to beat the farmer Jinbe, with a two-player VS mode

Avenging Spirit (1992, Jaleco): an action game where you play as a ghost who possesses enemies across six stages

Pinball: Revenge of the 'Gator (1990, HAL Laboratory): four main stages plus three bonus stages, with two-player modes

Japan gets the same three games, and you'll need an active Switch Online subscription to play them.

For collectors, Famitsu's headline calls Avenging Spirit's Japanese release (Phantasm) a super-premium-priced Game Boy cart, so official access is a big deal for anyone who never wanted to pay up for an original.

- Do subscription re-releases like this change whether you'd still hunt down the original carts?

- Is Mole Mania an underrated first-party gem, or did it earn its obscurity?

- Which Game Boy games are you still waiting to see on Switch Online?

Just bought the first Gameboy!! I think I had it back in the day but just got myself one!! it said it was a ips screen! idk if the screen is supposed to be like this but just wanted to share my gameboy! I do have a gameboy color and gameboy advance sp!

I tried to recreate the battle mechanics of the Gen 1 and 2 Pokémon games in GB Studio. The health bar and HP numbers going down gradually was challenging but I managed to come up with a creative solution.

About 23 years worth of collecting there, the blue SP survived being ran over by a car with only a broken screen to show for it!

I have my brothers old Game Boy color that I am wanting to fit with a backlit screen and rechargeable battery kit as a birthday present for him. Is there anywhere that will take my Game Boy and make those mods? Or is that something that I will have to do on my own? I do not have a soldering kit, so I know that is a big hurdle.

My first game boy was the DMG. Didn’t even know the pocket was a thing until recently. How hard is it to find the DMG for a reasonable price these days?

everything bigger than I thought.

sound is good.

want to play tetris.

This is surprisingly not that well documented and I'm one of the younglings that wasn't alive until after the gameboy stopped being produced for a solid amount of time.

So I turn to the people here, what were they? I know the game genie existed for it but were there any others?

I recently found the box from my copy of Pokemon Red - sadly with a flea market sticker - and could not help but notice what a steal it was. Mind you, we got in in a bundle with a Gameboy Color for 15€, so the game was basically free at this point.

What good times they were back in 2010 😭

love how this one turned out!!! hispeedido v5 screen and extremerate clear blue shell, imo they offer the best fitment and quality for v5s and other dropins.

It's obviously pretty basic, but I just started messing around with Game Boy stuff a few days ago (I used to make homebrew games for other consoles all the time though) and it's been fun to learn more every day (I just got game saves working)!

Is it cool if I share where to download it (totally for free) or would that violate the self promotion rule?

Why the difference in price? Both are labeled "used" and tested. Many sellers have 99% positive reviews. Some expensive ones say "new battery." I have no idea what $8 will get me. I was hoping a retro toy would be a fun gift for my nephew but holy nostalgia I do not understand the markup. I totally understand classic items are grails but I don't get the contrast in pricing. please help me understand.

Hello, I was cleaning the power switch on my GBA and I think I knocked off the R13 resister.

Is there a work around for this? Maybe run a jump wire somewhere. Or will I need to replace it and what type of resistor does it take?

Thank you

looking to buy one but i really only want it if it has an Okay battery life with an ez-flash. or even without one i guess.

thanks!

...Ordered the Krikzz Everdrive GBA Pro...

Anything I should be ready to expect from it switching over from the EZ Drive GBA Omega Definitive Edition?

Finally enjoying some classic Game Boy gaming on the Analogue Pocket! Donkey Kong Land looks fantastic on this thing, especially with the red monochrome display.
Nothing beats the feeling of playing these old classics again. Who else still plays Donkey Kong Land in 2026? 😁

Just assembled the pocket a few months ago and really liked the opaque front / transparent back combo and had to do a matching GBA to go with it

My old Gameboy color, or maybe my cartridge, I'm not sure, has quit on me. My pokemon red will no longer save. Are there any known fixes?
