Reminiscing peripherals: The Game Boy Player

Did you own a Game Boy Player? I don’t, but I wish I did. So much that I’m thinking of picking one up, especially if the much-desired Virtual Handheld service never comes to fruition.

As a non-owner, answer me this, kind reader. 1) What’s the best way to play the Game Boy Player on an HD TV? Do you use the default game borders or scale the 3×2 Game Boy Advance perspective flush with your TV edges? 2) What do you like most about the attachment? The least? 3) Should I buy one?

Okay, break!

I miss you, Game Boy Player

Game Boy Player
I’m currently playing Super Mario Advance 4 (SMB3), which is great, but I wish I could play it on my TV.

In my effort to consolidate consoles and still play every Nintendo game in 2006, I hastily got rid of my black GameCube after Wii launched. I’m now regretting it–I want a Game Boy Player.

In any case, how much you wanna bet the next DS will feature a Virtual Handheld that sells back catalog Game Boy titles just like Virtual Console does for home games? Wait for it…
