What came first, Game Boy or Nintendo

Game Boy

It was the big question as soon as I learned that What came first, Game Boy or Nintendo?

You can even carry it around and keep playing on the go, thanks to the JoyCon controller and the modular wizard with a built-in screen. However, since the late ’80s, the original Game Boy has given Nintendo an edge in handheld games. Hundreds of millions of DS units have been sold. Nintendo is also expanding into mobile space with the explosive Super Mario Run. But if that shiny new console can be played from the couch at home, does it amputate the foot from other handhelds? 

Price Difference 

My money is in The launch cost of the Nintendo is US $ 300 (£ 280, A $ 470). Even the upper limit of the 3DS range isn’t that high, and if you step down to 2DS, you can buy it for $ 79. Additional switches JoyCon controllers start at this price. Even if all the switch gimmicks have been removed, why would you want to remove them? It is highly doubtful that Nintendo can sell in this price range, and handheld games tend to scream at affordable prices. Depending on how you use the 

Technical Difference

Switch, and you’ll get 2.5 to 6 hours of battery life. The prestigious must-have game (Cough, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild) is designed with about 3 hours of playtime. This is equivalent to 6-10 hours on the Nintendo (assuming you are not using the 3D features). The Switch looks like a laptop. You can certainly play games on the go, but you don’t want to be too far from the exit. Yes, the game is technically much more impressive. After all, you play Skyrim on the train. But if the rumours about docks that improve graphics performance are true, you can get the best switch experience at home in front of the TV. 

Game Boy or Nintendo

Nintendo Switch has built a robust game library in the five years since its launch. Nintendo has traditionally received more favourable reviews than its Game boy counterparts in terms of overall quality, among other categories. On the other hand, the Game boy has dramatically improved its game quality.
