Super Gameboy - Early 90's
« on: May 05, 2014, 01:05:51 pm »
I remember watching the first seasons of Video Power when I was very young. The host mentioend a "super gameboy" which was supposed to be a sequel to the original gameboy. It was color and had other features. This was from the season of Video Power that had the cartoon in it. Does anyone remember this?

That's what I thought of when I saw the thread title.

I have a pretty extensive collection of Game Boy accessories and I've never heard of anything other than the SNES Super Game Boy cart.

No it wasn't an add-on, it was a portable console. I wish I could find the episode somewhere. It was probably an unreleased Gameboy. I remember being very excited about it but it never came. I had a similar feeling about super Nintendo CD.

There were some games (like Metroid 2) that had color graphics that could be rendered when played on the Super Game Boy pak.

Is that a shell you stick a Game Boy inside, or is it a playable unit on it's own?

I remember a kid at school talking about that, which would have been in 1991 when I was in 7th grade.

There was talk about a "Game Boy 2" or "ColorBoy" in the early 90s. See here for more:
