Description

The Game Boy Camera, released as Pocket Camera in Japan, is a digital camera accessory for Nintendo's Game Boy game console. It was released on February 21, 1998, in Japan, and manufacturing ceased in late 2002.

A device designed for user-generated content, it can be used to take grayscale photographs, edit them or create original drawings, and transfer images between Game Boy Camera units or to the 64DD art game suite Mario Artist. The accessory featured a 180°-swivel front-facing camera that allowed users to capture selfies. Its images can be printed to thermal paper with the Game Boy Printer.
