Ever wished you could use the Game Boy camera with the Playdate? Well, you can’t, and it’s probably not something that’s crossed your mind anyway. However, a modder has cooked up the next best thing for Panic’s cranky little handheld by creating a compatible alternative, and the mod is more like Nintendo’s original accessory than you’d think.
The original Game Boy Camera is arguably one of the most lovably silly pieces of Nintendo handheld hardware. For those of you who are not old enough to remember it (or too young too care), it’s essentially a game cartridge with an eyeball mounted on top. The software included within would help furnish players with black and white 2-bit images, and while they’re super charming and nostalgic, you won’t want to use one to create cherished memories. Or maybe you will, who am I to judge.
