One of the most satisfying parts of retro collecting is tracking down complete-in-box (CIB) games that still capture the look and feel of their original release. This latest pickup adds some absolute classics to the Game Boy and Game Boy Color shelves, spanning arcade legends, Nintendo staples, licensed favorites, and puzzle perfection.
Let’s take a closer look at these new additions to the collection.
🟡 Pac-Man (Game Boy)
Namco’s arcade icon made a strong transition to Nintendo’s handheld, and Pac-Man on Game Boy remains a must-have for any collection. Featuring classic maze gameplay with a portable twist, this version is perfect for quick sessions and nostalgia-fueled runs. Finding it CIB is always a win, especially with such an iconic cover.
⚽ Nintendo World Cup (Game Boy)
Arcade-style soccer at its finest. Nintendo World Cup trades realism for pure fun, complete with exaggerated moves, super shots, and fast-paced action. This handheld version captures the spirit of the NES classic and is an underrated sports title that shines in multiplayer memories and solo play alike.
🍄 Super Mario Bros. Deluxe (Game Boy Color)
One of the crown jewels of the Game Boy Color library. Super Mario Bros. Deluxe brings the original NES classic to life with color, added challenges, save support, and bonus content. A cornerstone title for GBC collectors and a reminder of how well Nintendo preserved its legacy on handheld.
🎀 Hello Kitty: Cube Frenzy (Game Boy Color)
A charming and surprisingly solid puzzle game featuring Hello Kitty. Cube Frenzy blends colorful visuals with accessible but engaging gameplay. It’s a great example of licensed games done right and adds variety and personality to the collection.
💊 Dr. Mario (Game Boy)
Timeless puzzle gameplay never goes out of style. Dr. Mario delivers addictive virus-clearing action that’s just as compelling today as it was at launch. Whether played casually or competitively, this is one of those “just one more round” games every retro fan knows well.
🥕 Bugs Bunny: Crazy Castle (Game Boy)
A classic licensed title from the early Game Boy era. Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle focuses on puzzle-solving and avoidance rather than action, making it a unique and memorable experience. Its Looney Tunes charm and clever level design make it a standout from the platform’s early years.
Final Thoughts
This pickup is a great mix of first-party Nintendo classics, arcade legends, puzzle staples, and licensed favorites, all complete in box.
