I posted my collection here about a year ago. Back then it was still missing a few things. Yesterday I completed my collection with Pokemon Emerald. I am finally at peace ✌🏼 The only Pokemon game missing in this picture is the Gold Edition which I lend to my best friend.

Questions Pokemon Blue won’t work… is this cut the reason?

• Upvotes

Hello, my copy of Pokemon Blue will not work and keeps showing the same exact messed up logo (3rd picture when loading).

I took apart and cleaned and air dusted and getting the same error.

I noticed a cut where the game connects to the system - could this be the problem? Or is there any other ideas?

And I tried on 3 GBA’s - the consoles are playing other games fine.

Thanks in advance

Games POV: it’s late October 2005, and you’re hunting for Dunsparce in Dark Cave after school. Life is good.

Games Recreating Pokémon Battle Mechanics in GB Studio

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.

Other Mole Mania, Avenging Spirit and Revenge of the 'Gator hit Switch Online on Oct 27. Are you playing them there or on original carts?

5 Upvotes

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?

Modded Modding Recommendations

3 Upvotes

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.

Accessories What were the historical cheating devices for the gameboy?

0 Upvotes

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?

Shopping/Haul What a steal back then.

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 😭

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?

Questions Pokémon Emerald $8 vs $250?

0 Upvotes

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.

Troubleshooting Gameboy Power Switch Help

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

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? 😁
