In Just Two Years, Nintendo Fan Completes Game Boy Collection - Kotaku

“I’ve always liked the Game Boy, and I had a number of games I bought to play,” Shouta told Kotaku, “and along the way, that turned into deciding to complete the full set.”As he collected, Shouta tweeted out his progression, with followers helping him track down missing games. “It there wasn’t Twitter, this would’ve taken five years,” he told us. All the games are playable—Shouta made sure of that when acquiring them. The collection is now housed in do-it-yourself display shelves.
Putting something together like this is not cheap, but Shouta isn’t exactly sure how much he’s poured into his collection. “I haven’t added up how much I spent, so I don’t know,” he said. The rarest title is Jaguar Sewing Machine Embroidery-Only Software: Mario Family, which was used with Jaguar’s JN-100 sewing machine by connecting the Nintendo portable. The sewing machine could then copy any of the 32 Nintendo themed patterns from the Game Boy Color game.
Copies of the cartridge alone fetch 50,000 yen ($454) in Japan, while those with the box and the instruction manual can reach 100,000 yen ($909). Now that his Game Boy collection is done, it would make sense to move on to the Game Boy Advance. “I also have a desire to collect GBA, but I think I’ll start with making my own storage shelves like I did for the Game Boy,” he told Kotaku. But elsewhere on Twitter, Shouta seemed keen to finish his Famicom collection. “Currently, I have six hundred games, so inevitably Famicom is next!” Shouta better get to work on those shelves.
