Why the OG Game Boy Still Rules (Plus: Bitmap Books’ Game Boy Box Art Collection)

The episode celebrates handheld gaming by comparing modern and popular systems like the Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch with Nintendo’s DS/2DS, then focusing on the original Game Boy as the host’s first and favorite handheld. The host shows off classic Game Boy attachments including a clip-on speaker, magnifier, and light, then spotlights Bitmap Books’ “Game Boy: The Box Art Collection,” a large hardcover featuring Game Boy game box art and screenshots. Leafing through the book sparks memories of titles like Ghostbusters II, Gauntlet II, Aladdin, DuckTales, and more, along with a brief mention of the Steam demo for “The Eternal Life of Goldman” for its DuckTales-like cane-bounce gameplay. The host shares mint-condition boxed games and cartridges, boots up the Game Boy to play Castlevania and R-Type (including the classic cartridge-blowing fix), and closes by reaffirming the Game Boy as the greatest handheld for simple nostalgia gaming. 00:00 Cartridge Fix Intro 00:13 Best Handheld Debate 01:05 Meet the OG Game Boy 01:38 Wild Game Boy Attachments 02:45 Bitmap Books Showcase 04:24 DuckTales to Goldman 05:21 My Boxed Games Collection 07:23 Booting Up the Game Boy 10:01 Why Game Boy Still Wins 11:17 Final Box Art Farewell #xbox #ps5 #ps5pro #nintendo #nintendoswitch #steamdeck #gameboy All the socials: https://www.threads.net/@itsmerossp    / rosscoffeegames   https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?...
