The Game Boy and Game Boy Color were both commercially successful, selling a combined 32.47 million units in Japan, 44.06 million in the Americas, and 42.16 million in other regions. [9] [10] At the time of its discontinuation in 2003, the combined sales of the Game Boy were the best-selling game console of all time. Surpassed in sales by the Nintendo DS, PlayStation 2 and Nintendo Switch the trio are now the fourth-best-selling console, the third-best-selling console and the second-best-selling handheld of all time. Sales of the console were in part driven by the success of Pokémon Gold and Silver and Pokémon Crystal, with combined sales of 29.5 million units, making them one of the best selling-video games of all time. a b Umezu; Sugino; Konno.

I have been reluctant to try the Wario Land sequels. The shift toward puzzle platforming sounds less appealing to me. I was a big fan of the original Wario Land on the original Game Boy. I last played it about six months ago and had a great time still. I'll have to read more about the follow ups. Hearing that Zelda Oracle of Seasons is combat heavy and straightforward sounds like my style. I've been meaning to dive into all the old Zeldas I missed and a few I haven't played in a long time but did enjoy. As for Metal Gear Solid, I really like how they shrunk the game down. It looks good and plays well. As with most things MGS, I found the dialogue parts far too wordy, and I didn't love the stage design as much. I would have preferred more emphasis on stealth and combat and less on exploring and looking for items. But the game is what it is. The VR missions are closer to what I enjoy. I'm glad I played it though.Nintendo Announces Full Color Game Boy". Nintendo. March 10, 1998. Archived from the original on May 30, 1998. Putting that expertise to good use, we decided to start RetroSix; a small team of people passionate about retro gaming, and restoring original consoles to like-new, adding our own twist and style to them and in general bringing a modern twist to retro. The neon-green Game Boy Color is one of those things that sounds ... interesting ... on paper, but fails to win anyone over in practice. This was the most obnoxious color you could get your GBC in. If you had that kiwi handheld, you either had parents who got really, really close to nailing your birthday present and missed by mere inches, or you just had to be the most extra person at school. Kiwis should be eaten, not played with.

For dozens of select Game Boy games, the Game Boy Color has an enhanced palette built-in featuring up to 16 colors—four colors for each of the Game Boy's four layers. [21] If the system does not have a palette stored for a game, it defaults to the "Dark green" palette. However, at power-up, one of 12 built-in color palettes is selectable by pressing a directional button and optionally A or B while the Game Boy logo is present on the screen.
