Remember Game Gear?

The Game Gear did host some original software, though -- but never as much as the Game Boy. Notable Game Gear originals released in America include... Virtua Fighter Animation? And therein lies on the Game Gear's biggest problems. The software was completely lacking compared to its chief rival, which was bathed in quality games. It didn't matter that the Game Gear was more powerful. The color screen did not reverse any fortunes. Content and innovation beat out technology, a formula that Nintendo is using right now with the continued ascendance of the DS and Wii.

I still play mine from time to time. Much better than the original gameboy.


I purchased a flash cart for my gameboy micro - there's an excellent emulator of the gg/sms for the GBA. You get the best of both worlds.
