Game Boy: Difference between revisions

The Game Boy was the first, excluding the Game and Watch line, of battery-powered handheld game consoles sold by [[Nintendo]], and is the third system that allowed a portable Legend of Zelda game, behind the Zelda Game Watch and Zelda Game & Watch. It is one of the world's best-selling game system line, selling over 118 million units worldwide to date since its release 1989<ref>[http://www.nintendo.com/corp/report/06AnnualReport.pdf#page=14 Annual Report 2006 (PDF File)]</ref>, and has spawned many successful spin-offs, including the [[Game Boy Pocket]], a smaller, more portable version of the Game Boy, the [[Game Boy Color]], a system that was both portable and in color, the [[Game Boy Advance]] which was more technologically advanced, and had two extra buttons, and the [[Game Boy Advance SP]], which was a smaller [[Game Boy Advance]], but with an adjustable backlit screen. The original Game Boy had two Zelda releases: [[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]], and The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX, an expanded version of Link's Awakening that was actually playable as a standard Game Boy game, but could also be played as a full-color Game Boy Color game instead of keeping the original shades of grey as most games did. However, a special dungeon, the Color Dungeon, could only be played on a Game Boy Color.
