Cute.

I'm surprised he doesn't at least know a gameboy's name, but that's fine. Was the last console with Gameboy the SP or DS?

 

[Deathhappens]

daaaaamn riaaaaaajuuuuuu reeeeeee.

@Psychronia It was SP. The Nintendo DS was the first to drop the "GameBoy" moniker, presumably because they realised it was less than smart to alienate 50% of their potential buyers with the name. Not coincidentally, the DS also had a significant amount of titles distinctly NOT aimed at boys at launch.

@Psychronia , @ Deathhappens It was the Micro, it was out in late 2006 for the 20th aniversary of Super Mario Bros. I remember it well because some weeks before I bought my SP after had been begging for one GB since 1999

Ahh, the old fashioned GameBoy. Took four double-A batteries to power, no colour whatsoever and could survive an apocalypse - or at least your mother accidentally dropping it on the floor. Good times.

 

[Happily_Grim]

Gameboy and Gamegear, eh? That'll make ya feel old.

 

[Pancakeza]

Aw 😍. I guess this is not a crossdressing manga? Kind of shame on my end 😕. But it's still good none the less.

 

[nano6]

Is it really possible to call yourself a gamer and ignore what a game boy is?

HOLY SHIT, I JUST REALIZED:
THE MC ISN'T THE AUTHOR'S SELF-INSERT
THE GIRL IS

@theloginsneversave
No fucking way, really?

 

[Shikuretto_Tsuki]

this some good shit

 

[TheOriginalShock]

How does he not know what a gameboy is? Is a gameboy really that old

 

[ShaiHH]

Gameboys were a thing of the 90s, most kids growing up in the 2010s will have played on other systems.

 

[blackLuna]

I get exactly what Nanami means — I started playing handhelds on my elder brother's GameBoy Pocket (it really brings back memories).

@TheOriginalShock
It isn't (especially if you think about the SP), but for my own sanity I'm going to assume it's the analogy he doesn't get.

The modern day equivalent of a gameboy on low battery and screen fading would be... a calculator?
