I just bought a Japanese Game Boy Pocket on a Swedish auction site. It was in such nice condition, and even though I don’t like pink very much, I just couldn’t let it go so cheap! So I stepped in and bought it. I ended up paying about 40 USD. At first I was thinking of giving it to a friend of mine who loves pink, though she doesn’t really collect retro games.. but when it came in the mail I just fell in love with it.. It is sooo cuuuuuuute!! So I’m keeping it, and I’m loving it ^_^
First game I tried out on it was of course Konami’s Castlevania! :D
I also got two free games with the delivery! I love perks ^_^ <3
Kirby and Super Mario Land! :D And believe it or not but I didn’t previously own these :D At least I don’t think so, I have a Kirby Game Boy game called Kirby’s Dream Land but I’m not sure if this Japanese Kirby game is the same one or a sequel or prequel.. Perhaps Alana who’s a Kirby fanatic or Fredrik who’s a Game Boy collector have the answer for me?
I also have two editions of Super Mario Land 2, but not the first one ^_^ So yay!
It’s not even my birthday yet, but it sure feels like it already :D
Retro Video Gaming 
Kirby’s Dreamland came out here too it’s the first one in the Kirby series, even before the NES version. It’s one of the first game boy games I got. Here’s the bad commercial lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paP177p1RVQ
There’s also a second one that was put out for the Game Boy too and the 3rd was on the SNES
so the Japanese Kirby game I got is Kirby’s Dreamland?
/mE
What’s the best Castlevania on the Game Boy? I wanna pick one up but I’m not sure which one to get first :)
Castlevania Legends is amazing <3 And if you’re gonna play through the Super Game Boy converter it’s got a great interface to go with it ^_^
The other two, The Castlevania Adventures I & II (Belmont’s Revenge) are also good, classic Castlevania type music and everything, but I fell for Legends, since you’re playing as a girl, and it’s just different, in a good way ^_^ I think you should get all three though, if possible! :D
/mE
Okay awesome, I will definitely look at getting them all :D I’m excited!
I ordered Castlevania II Legends :D I can’t wait, I hope it gets here soon!
Awesome! :D
That’s an awesome candie pink. I would love a yellow one.
Yeah, there’s a yellow Pikachu edition, that would be awesome to have! :D pika-pika!!

This is what I miss when I don’t subscribe, lol.
I love the pink one too, but I like my Hello Kitty better. :D (and several others)
And I also have 465 Japanese Game Boy Games in my personal collection :D
Oh, and Kiiiiiiiiiirrbbbyyyyyyy ruuuuullleeeeesssss
Then start subscribing! ;P
Hello Kitty is cute ^_^ 465 is crazy O_o I only have 55 Gameboy, 20 GBC, and 74 GBA… 75 DS but I know you’re not interested in those ;D
The largest collection I have for one system is actually my Famicom now! haha, 253, not including the Disk games :D previously it was the NES with 228, but Famicom was just so much more fun collecting so I passed the NES collection of 10 years collecting with the Famicom games, collected only for 7-8 months! wohoo!
/mE
Yup the gameboy Kirby is Kirby’s Dreamland and Kirby on the NES/Famicom is Kirby’s Adventure :)
Thanks for clarifying it! ^^ I really should try to get into Kirby a bit more, I like the games I’ve tried! :D
/mE
It’s fun and for the most part a nice non stressful game :D
I like non-stressful games, however a little stress is always good, but not too much ;D
