scant (04/08/2015) [-] Anyone who owns Gameboy games is probably going to have the actual handheld device to play them too.
This is pretty much useless. But of course, it'll be fully funded by retards who don't realise it'll probably be cheaper just to buy a ******* Gameboy color.

Dragonchampion ONLINE (04/08/2015) [-] And then somehow find some place that s still selling the games. I like it because I have a large collection of roms and my phone already has an emulator for PSP, Gameboy advance, DS, and the PS1.

killerjhtwo (04/08/2015) [-] People who throw away consoles to get the newest ones always end up regretting it.
I still have my GB colour, and we still have the N64, the PS2 the 360, the wii.
apart from the xbox 360 and possibly the PS2 the ***** are built like tanks and built to last... Then people are all "Like OMG I can get this for my phone, take all my money lik omg! I lurv de pokermans!"
Whereas I go upstairs, go into my special box, take out my gb, slot in red and start kicking ass with mew.
******* casuals..

mindfeeder (04/08/2015) [-] ^ this.
Also: it will never control as smoothly as the original thing.
Still got two original GameBoys (one in its original box, one in the transparent carrying case that came with the later Special Editions), the Battery Pack, a GameBoy Color, and a GameBoy Advance SP (NES Edition).

killerjhtwo (04/08/2015) [-] In response to the control thing, I totally get it.
On the pokemon games the d pad on the DS and 3DS are too hard.
They click instead of depress and it feels horrible. The DS wasn't so bad but the 3DS is terrible.
Playing Sonic 1-3 is terrible on 3DS it's all clunky and blehh. Also the little joystick is unresponsive and loose all at the same time.
I still like my 3DS but it's not the best ergonomics wise.

mindfeeder (04/08/2015) [-] Yeah, same here. I have many handhelds and consoles – newer ones, too – and I like 'em a lot. Sega Game Gear in its original CarryAll case, Virtual Boy (without the tripod but it works perfectly nonetheless), Nintendo DS Lite, Nintendo 3DS XL, NES, SNES, N64, GameCube, PS2. Although I'm mostly a PC and handheld gamer – been since 1990.
But you're right about the control thing. Now, I don't exactly know how that thing up there will work but if it's just tapping on the touchscreen through the pressing of the buttons, it will most definitely suck.
(If you ask me, emulators on phones suck in general because of the touch controls.)

killerjhtwo (04/08/2015) [-] I've never needed phone emulators tbh. I can play the consoles at home and at a stretch I have a dedicated 32GB gaming USB with PS1 and N64 emulators as well as C&C games and other **** for times when I'm away from my devices and have time to game.

mindfeeder (04/08/2015) [-] Way to go.
Funny thing, too: just looking at my stack of C&C games, here's a photo.

I lost my favorite neon purple GameBoy Advanced somewhere between being an awesome little gamer kid and becoming an adult gamer.
At least Nintendo is pretty good about being backwards compatible so all those DS games I missed out on when I was trying to be a girl for a while in high school can be caught up with.

zonryu (04/08/2015) [-] funny how the only way to make me want to buy a phone is to turn into something that isnt a phone

kikkilinu (04/08/2015) [-] If you don't have an iPhone 6+ you gotta spend +$700 on the phone, and shell out for the Smartboy.
Just buy a damn Gameboy Color. At least they don't bend in your pocket.

zomaru (04/08/2015) [-] Anyone who has games has a gameboy of some kind
Getting a gameboy will be cheaper then this adapter.
The iPhone already has battery problems, this will escalate it unless it comes with a built in battery
if it does, it will be way too expensive to be worth it
Trying to buy the games after this comes out will be impossible, hipsters will cause the market to skyrocket.
6/10, Great idea in theory, Horrible idea in practice.

atomicjojo (04/08/2015) [-]
let it work with emulators, gba, and a few other things, and i could see this catching on. the main reason why i dont play gba ports on my phone is the lack of buttons...

SognaVetr (04/08/2015) [-] Just download an emulator already, jeezTthe on-screen controls work just fine for gba/nes/snes games.
