The Nintendo Game Boy turns 25
Today, Nintendo's pride and joy, the Game Boy, turns 25 years old.
It's a day to not only celebrate the release with a game of Tetris (do we really need to give you a reason to play Tetris?), but to fondly remember one of Gunpei Yokoi's greatest inventions.
Before we look at how and why Nintendo's handheld impacted gamers' lives, we need to understand a bit about Gunpei Yokoi, the maestro behind the technology.
The Nintendo Game Boy was the most successfully received gaming device to date with well over 150 million units sold, according to Nintendo’s corporate history.
Today marks this revolutionary handheld device’s 25th anniversary in North America.
