Informational Video Details The History Of The Game Boy Color And Advance
The Did You Know Gaming YouTube channel looks deeper into the legacy of the Game Boy line of handhelds.
Last week the channel looked at the original Game Boy, and this week it is looking at the Game Boy Color and the Game Boy Advance. You'll learn surprising details like before the announcement of the Game Boy Advance, Nintendo hinted at cellphone and modem compatibility for the device, but it never saw fruition. You also see strange add-ons like the Game Boy sewing machine, and a sonar pitched to fisherman for finding fish underwater using the Game Boy.
You can check out other videos from the Did You Know Gaming channel covering Team Fortress 2, Harvest Moon, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, the history of the Nintendo 64, and the PlayStation by hitting the links.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
