Game news 35 years after the release of the Game Boy, a new game is released on the Nintendo laptop, and in box please!
Even if the term is a little overused and does not appeal to everyone, it must be recognized that the retrogaming scene is definitely very active. More than thirty-five years after its release, Nintendo’s Game Boy is getting ready to welcome a new game. Can you believe that?
A historic console
When he sat down on the train that brought him back to Kyoto, the very inspired Gunpei Yokoi certainly did not imagine that he was about to revolutionize the world of video games. It was in fact while watching a traveler spending time on his calculator that the person concerned had a flash. He then had the vision of an electronic device allowing people to play games and this resulted in the famous Game & Watch. This philosophy then continued within Nintendo to take the form of the Game Boy. A monochrome machine initially mocked internally and by the competition, Nintendo’s portable device ultimately swept away everything in its path. Thanks to its remarkable autonomy (especially compared to the Game Gear and the Lynx) and an incredible games library, the Game Boy has become an essential product that has spanned generations. It has also benefited from a second life thanks to the rise of the Pokémon license which arrived here at the end of the 1990s.
A brand new game in 2024?
Many old consoles have benefited from a very active community. Few never offer new games or prototypes. Players are nostalgic and they like to dive back into the technical twists and turns of these machines of yesteryear. Therefore, when the console is popular and has achieved worldwide success, the number of projects increases tenfold! For the Game Boy, the machine that falls to us here, 2024 should still be full of surprises. As the site points out MO5.comNintendo’s monochrome console welcomed several software programs last year (Power Ball, Athletic World, Far After, etc.) and is about to open the door to a newcomer: CeL Story.
First arrival in a new range from publisher Phoenix Ware, the game is available in cartridge and box in a superb design! Already available, the work of the Frenchman CeL (who took care of the programming and graphics) and the musician Beatscribe can be tested at this address. It is priced at £45 and will delight fans of the exploration genre. It involves making a small character evolve in the remains of an ancient civilization in order to recover the parts of his damaged ship. But the adventure will take a very different turn and become a real quest for identity for the avatar.
