Asset Description

Overview & Authentication

·According to the Smithsonian, the Game Boy “combined aspects of Nintendos successful Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) television video game console with their earlier handheld electronic games marketed under the name ‘Game & Watch.’”

·According to the Smithsonian: “Shortly after the introduction of the Game Boy, Sega and Atari released handheld games, the Sega Game Gear and the Atari Lynx. Both had superior color LCD displays but both also suffered from short battery life and limited game availability.

·According to the Smithsonian, original Game Boys “were bundled with Tetris, an addictive game developed in 1985 by Russian mathematician Alexey Pazhitnov, assisted by Dmitry Pavlovsky and Vadim Gerasimov. As with the NES, game software was stored on removable cartridges, allowing users to switch games at whim. Nintendo also marketed a number of accessories with this version of the Game Boy, including a camera and printer attachment.”

·The Game Boy was designed by a team led by Gumpei Yokoi, who was responsible for designing the Game & Watch system, which Nintendo released in 1980. The team also designed Metroid for the NES.

·According to PC Magazine, “In 1998, Nintendo finally unveiled a color-screened successor to the Game Boy called, unsurprisingly, Game Boy Color. Like its predecessor, it did very well with battery life thanks to an efficient non-backlit LCD screen. Game Boy Color (which sold an estimated 40+ million units itself) could play all previous monochrome Game Boy titles plus new games designed for its slightly beefier specs. And in 2001, Nintendo released the Game Boy Advance, a 32-bit handheld that marked a dramatic leap in capability over earlier Nintendo handhelds. It remained backwards-compatible with both monochrome and Color Game Boy titles, assuring classic 1989 Game Boy software would live on for another decade.”

·An original Game Boy is on display at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History.

·According to Venture Beat: “While the original Game Boy dominated the portable market for almost 10 years before getting a proper upgrade, Nintendo would replace the Game Boy Color in less than three years.”

·According to Venture Beat: “The Game Boy Color was the first true successor to the original Game Boy. As the name implies, it could support up to 56 colors.”

·The Underlying Asset has been issued a grade of NM+ 85 by Video Game Authority (VGA) with Certification No. 71015201.
