Game Boy Colour

5th Generation Hand-held Console

Introduction

In 1998, Nintendo released the Game Boy Colour, which went on to sell over 50 million units by 2004.

The Game Boy Colour offered backward compatibility with previous game boys and thus provided access to an already large inventory of games. This gave Nintendo a significant advantage over its competition as none of them provided backward compatibility with previous units.

The Game Boy Colour was eventually succeeded by the Game Boy Advance in 2001.

Date Range: 1998 - present

Release Price: US$79

The successor to the Game Boy, the Game Boy Colour, is twice as fast as the original and finally offered colour.
