Nintendo Game Boy

The Game Boy is an 8-bit handheld game system that features interchangeable cartridge games. The Game Boy was first released in Japan in April 1989, and later moved to North America in July 1989. It had a price of $89.99. It was designed by the same team that designed the Game & Watch consoles released by Nintendo in 1980. The Game Boy was meant to be a "handheld NES". The success of the Game Boy led to the Game Boy Pocket, and later the Game Boy Color. It's best-selling game was Tetris, released in 1989. Nintendo sold 118.69 million units of the Game Boy & Game Boy Color combined by the time they were discontinued in 2003.
