The '''{{wp|Game Boy}}''' (rebranded the '''{{wp|SK Hynix|Hyundai}} Mini Comboy''' in South Korea) is [[Nintendo]]'s second handheld console. It was released in Japan on April 21, 1989; in North America on July 31, 1989; in most of Europe on September 28, 1990; in Hungary in 1991; in South Korea on May 2, 1991; in South Africa in 1992; in Croatia, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Yugoslavia in 1994; in Brazil on April 14, 1994; and in Poland on November 14, 1994 (the latter simultaneously with the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] and [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]]).<ref name=Rogers_2020/> It has had many games of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] released for it and many appearances in the franchise itself. The Game Boy is one of the best-selling game systems of all time, selling around 64,420,000 units worldwide, and the console found enough success not to receive a successor until the [[Game Boy Color]] in 1998, and not to be discontinued until 2003. The Game Boy has 8-bit graphics, not unlike the Nintendo Entertainment System, but can display only up to four colors at once. Its codename is the Dot Matrix Game, referring to the dot-matrix display it had for its games, contrasting the preceding [[Game & Watch]]'s pre-printed LCD display. The Game Boy has the {{button|gb|A}}, {{button|gb|B}}, {{button|gb|start}}, and {{button|gb|select}} buttons as well as {{button|gb|Pad}}, giving it a similar control scheme to the Nintendo Entertainment System's.


In 1995, a new version of the Game Boy, as part of Nintendo's "Play It Loud!" campaign, was released. This version is exactly the same as the original; the only difference is that it was released in a wide variety of colors such as red, blue, green, and even clear. Game Boy and Game Boy Color games were also available on the [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Virtual Console#Nintendo 3DS|Virtual Console]] before it was discontinued in March 2023. In February 2023, they were added to the [[Nintendo Switch Online]] service, available in the [[Game Boy - Nintendo Switch Online]] application.
The '''[[nwiki:Game Boy|Game Boy]]''' is [[Nintendo]]'s second handheld console. The Game Boy is one of the best selling game systems of all time, selling around 64,420,000 units worldwide. It was so popular that Nintendo actually pushed back production of the [[Game Boy Color]] because the Game Boy sold so well. It was discontinued in [[1999]].
 
The Game Boy has the {{button|gb|A}}, {{button|gb|B}}, {{button|gb|start}} and {{button|gb|select}} buttons and the {{button|gb|Pad}} which make the controls similar to that on the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]]. In [[1995]] a new version of the Game Boy, as part of Nintendo's [[:File:GBPIL x16.png|"Play It Loud!"]] campaign, was released. This version is exactly the same as the original; the only difference is the color of the system.

==Remodelations==
The Game Boy is unique in that some games for the Game Boy Color are also playable on original Game Boy units; such games were released on black cartridges, such as ''[[Wario Land II]]'' and ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 3]]''. Game Boy Color games released on clear cartridges, such as ''[[Super Mario Bros. Deluxe]]'' and ''[[Mario Tennis (Game Boy Color)|Mario Tennis]]'', cannot be played on original Game Boy units, and attempting to causes the game to display a message stating that it is playable only on the Game Boy Color.

==Accessories==
===Game Link Cable===
{{main-wiki|NWiki|Game Link Cable|NintendoWiki}}
[[File:GameBoyGameLinkCable.jpg|thumb|250px]]
There is a Game Link Cable accessory that allows for two Game Boys to connect with each other. It is used by several ''Super Mario'' games, such as ''[[Dr. Mario (game)|Dr. Mario]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. Deluxe]]''. A 4-player version of the accessory exists for games that can take advantage of this accessory. Not to be confused with [[Game Boy Advance]]'s method of doing so. To communicate with later models, such as the Game Boy Pocket or [[Game Boy Color]], a special adapter needs to be used (model MGB-004).
 
===Game Boy Camera===
{{main|Game Boy Camera}}

===Game Boy Printer===

{{main-wiki|Bulbapedia|Game Boy Printer}}
[[File:GameBoyPrinter.jpg|thumb|150px]]
This accessory allows the ability to make prints of images on special thermal paper. Game Boy Printer connects to the Game Boy via Game Link Cable. The main accessory to use this accessory, as well as the only cartridge for the original Game Boy models to use it that was related to the ''Super Mario'' franchise, was the Game Boy Camera. The only dedicated ''Super Mario'' games that used it, ''[[Super Mario Bros. Deluxe]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Color)|Donkey Kong Country]]'', were Game Boy Color games without support for older Game Boy models.
 
===GB Memory Cartridge===
{{main|Nintendo Power (cartridge)}}

The ''[[Super Game Boy]]'' is not an actual system; rather, it is a [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super Nintendo]] cartridge that one could insert Game Boy cartridges into, thus enabling people to play Game Boy games on their television screens through the Super Nintendo. Certain games have additional colors that can only be seen while played on a Super Game Boy. [[Donkey Kong '94|Donkey Kong]] has a special color pallette designed for the Super Game Boy, as well as a special border designed to resemble the original arcade cabinet. Game Boy Color games with black cartridges can be played on the Super Game Boy.

[[File:Game boy pocket.PNG|thumb|left|150px|The 1st release Game Boy Pocket]]
[[File:GB Pocket Plata 01.jpg|thumb|left|150px|The 1st release Game Boy Pocket]]
The ''Game Boy Pocket'' is the second system of the Game Boy line. As the name implies, it is a pocket-sized Game Boy with its same features, and it was lighter in weight, with a clearer screen and a longer battery life. It requires two AAA batteries rather than four AA batteries in order to play games. The first release had no battery light indicator and it was rapidly replaced with a second release with the battery light due to customer complaints. The second release made its way into markets with several different colors (red, blue, green, yellow, black, etc.).

The ''Game Boy Light'' is the third system in the Game Boy line. It was released only in Japan in April 14, 1998 because Nintendo decided to make the Game Boy Color as Western gamers wanted ''color, not light'', but said system was also released in Japan. The system is slightly bigger than a Game Boy Pocket and came only in two colors that were gold and silver. Its main function, as the name implies, is the ability to produce backlight in order to play games in low light conditions. There were several special editions such as the Astro Boy edition.
