Description

The ultimate collector's guide to Nintendo's portable revolution and its most ambitious failure

This stunning Gold Edition brings together the complete story of two radically different Nintendo consoles: the unstoppable Game Boy that sold 118 million units and changed gaming forever, and the ambitious Virtual Boy that became one of Nintendo's most fascinating failures. Written by renowned gaming historian Math Manent (author of the N64 & GameCube Anthologies), this 500-page hardcover masterpiece catalogs every single game, accessory, and hardware variant across both platforms.

Everything You Need to Know About Game Boy and Virtual Boy

You'll discover comprehensive reviews of all 1,072 games published worldwide—1,050 for Game Boy and 22 for Virtual Boy. But this anthology goes far beyond simple game listings. It explores canceled titles that never saw the light of day, showcases the most absurd and innovative accessories ever created, and features detailed coverage of special collector's editions like the Game Boy Pocket and Game Boy Light. The hardware chapter reveals the brilliant technical choices and cost constraints that shaped Gunpei Yokoi's designs, from the Game Boy's revolutionary simplicity to the Virtual Boy's groundbreaking stereoscopic display.

Premium Quality for Your Collection

This Gold Edition features premium hardcover construction with thread-sewn binding and 2mm thick cardboard covers finished with spot gloss UV varnish. Every page is printed in full color on high-quality 135 gsm gloss coated paper, ensuring stunning visual presentation of screenshots, hardware photos, and promotional materials. And here's the bonus: anaglyph 3D glasses are included so you can truly experience the Virtual Boy's unique stereoscopic graphics right from the pages of the book.

Perfect for Collectors and Gaming Historians

Whether you're a retro gaming enthusiast, a Nintendo collector, or simply fascinated by video game history, this anthology delivers unparalleled depth and quality. From the Game Boy's launch on April 21, 1989, through its incredible journey democratizing portable gaming, to the Virtual Boy's bold but doomed experiment with 3D gaming, you'll gain complete insight into these iconic systems. The book's extensive chapters cover everything from global game libraries to unreleased prototypes, making it an essential reference work for anyone passionate about Nintendo's portable gaming heritage.
