Nintendo Game Boy Soaps + Weekend Links


This week is the 25th anniversary of the original Nintendo Game Boy, way to make me feel old! In celebration of this fact I'll be dusting off my turquoise Game Boy Colour and having a few rounds on The Real Ghostbusters!

For all those who got rid of their original, how about some insanely realistic Game Boy Cartridge Soaps - Also available in Super Nintendo versions. Neat hey? Happy weekend my friends!

Oh and this is Buckets & Spades' 1000th post!

  2. Wow so realistic, I would hate to use them. I'd keep them instead. Also, GameBoy colour was my first (and only to be honest) handheld console and I still keep it with all the cartridges just for the memories ;)

  3. Whoa! I want all "OH NO! WHAT HAPPENED TO THOSE GAMES!?" until I read they were soaps. They actually do look so real!! This is so cool! I have a real big urge to go play some old games now!! And those 23 science + nature gifs are magnificent!!

  4. Whaaaat! I can not believe those are soaps -- too cool! I don't think I would want to use them if I had one. ;)

    I'm totally a Nintendo fan. :)

  5. The soap looks fantastic. I'm going to have to get some of that - it would make for a fab gift.

    I really like the gifs and also the article about brand identity. Thanks for sharing. :)

  6. Oh man I still have my Game Boy Advanced somewhere! Those soaps are crazy, I was like "why is someone washing their games?".

  7. WOAH. I had to do a triple take there, I thought these were soaps based off the title but they looked so real, I thought maybe I misinterpreted and you were (insanely) washing your games?! Bhaha, oh how wrong I was...
