Patent for Game Boy shell for smartphones

Patent for Game Boy shell for smartphones

Nintendo has applied for a patent to equip smartphones with a Game Boy shell. Yeaaahh but … why?

Game Boy case for mobile phones

It would not be a protective case with a print of the iconic appearance of the Game Boy, but a working casing that turns the smartphone into a working Game Boy.

That sounds a bit better as a simple case, but still we do not understand why.

This shell will come with physical buttons that you can press and use. The case also leaves room for a small screen, about the size of the original Game Boy.

Does Nintendo have a telephone add-on that will allow you to play Gameboy (and perhaps Gameboy Color) games with your mobile?

When and whether this case will ever see the light of day is still the question.
