Detailed review
I haven't really been into the recent handheld gaming scene with the PSP and the DS and what not. I went out and bought a Gameboy color for $10, and love it all over again. Pokemon red/blue is still one of my favorite games ever. The graphics aren't fancy, but the quality of the games available can't be beat. If you have never owned one, I recommend picking one up.

Cons: The screen doesn't have a backlight. You can buy one those light attachments, but overall its pretty annoying when you want to play in poorly lit areas. Over than that I really never had many problems with the device. The technology is dated for sure, but hey, the Wii isn't exactly up to date with its N64 graphics.
