It's a bit different than the usual Gradius games, in the way that it's a bit slower, more "tactical" experience, but it is in my opinion a very good game in its own way.Ī game that is way underrated in my opinion, is Batman Forever, which is much better than Batman The Movie. I must say I'm a bit sad, not seeing Gradius Interstallar Assault on the list as I feel it's an excellent game. You’re sure to find lots of ‘lands’ here - someone at Nintendo HQ decreed that the diminutive handheld simply couldn’t contain massive ‘worlds’, so Super Mario Land ushered in an era of ‘Land’ games from the likes of Kirby, Donkey Kong and Wario. The following list showcases the very best titles.
While Tetris and Pokémon were the system sellers, there’s a vast library of games released for the system.

A smaller, lighter revision of the hardware, the Game Boy Pocket, also arrived that year, and the console’s true successor – the Game Boy Color – would launch worldwide two years later alongside the western release of Pokémon.
The story of its convoluted journey to the console is well worth investigating – a thrilling combination of guile, subterfuge and blind luck that went on to shape Nintendo and the video game industry at large.Īny video game company would be overjoyed to have a game with half the appeal of Tetris on its books, but after seven years – when you’d expect the console to be winding down – the Game Boy got the biggest second wind in video game history with the Japanese release of Pokémon Red & Green in 1996. Obviously, it had the archetypal killer app in Tetris, and many still insist it’s the finest version of Alexey Pajitnov's puzzler.
GAMEBOY DMG RED SOFTWARE
Of course, it’s software which makes or breaks any console and the humble Game Boy could never have endured so long without its catalogue of incredible games. The Switch itself, and novel experiments such as Labo VR, show that this approach continues to keep the Kyoto company in rude health. Gunpei Yokoi’s design philosophy – using proven, inexpensive components in new and interesting ways – continued through Nintendo's handheld line and carried over to its home consoles with Wii. Rival companies got carried away with the technical possibilities and contemporary handheld consoles with far superior specs fell by the wayside as Game Boy marched on.
