Update: It seems that the Gameboy Color is sold out.
Remember blowing air into a Gameboy game cartridge just to get the game working? If you don’t, skip this part and read onto the next game console on the list. Ah, the Gameboy Color – most of the 90s kids can remember holding onto a Gameboy with bated breath as we powered through its extensive library of games which include the much-loved Pokemon Gold!
The Gameboy Color was the pioneer of portable gaming machines that displayed colours! It featured a screen resolution of 160 x 144 pixels. The palette of colours available to the Gameboy Colour was 32,768 (15-bit) which managed to display up to 56 colours! With only 2 AA batteries, the Gameboy Color can bring you up to 30+ hours of joy!
Think of the Nintendo 2DS XL as a Nintendo 3DS XL but without the 3D screen. It’s affordable and is perfect for young gamers. This is due to the fact that it has an extensive library of games; you can play all 3DS games and most Nintendo DS games with this baby! It is also light and comes with a sleek, ergonomic design.
Nintendo also provides great parental controls, allowing you to block explicit content, set time restrictions, and also prohibit access to the eShop to prevent your child from spending frivolously on the eShop! How great is that?
