    		 As some of you may or may not know, I ordered a Japanese Super Game Boy 2 online, reading that it was able to play both Game Boy and Game Boy Color exclusive games. I bought it to play Pokémon Crystal on, which I just won the auction for a few days ago (please note I already have it, but the timer and save file in my current cartridge is broken), because Pokémon Stadium 2's transfer pak is too sensitive, and the quality of Game Boy Color games on the Game Boy Player is just awful.

    So the box arrives in the mail today, and I turn it around. I notice some screenshots in the back: Pocket Monsters Blue, and a comparison of Game Boy and Super Game Boy picture for Donkey Kong '94. I open the instruction book, and surely enough, every single picture in there is Pocket Monsters Blue... by the time the Game Boy Color came out, Pokémon Yellow was the most recent version, and not to mention the fact there were absolutely no Game Boy Color games (much less GBC-exclusive ones) in the pictures. So I look at the copyright... (C) 1995, 1996, 1998... 1998!?! That was one year before the Game Boy Color came out! How could a system that came out a year before the Game Boy Color manage to play Game Boy Color exclusives!?!

    Surely enough, I attempt the system with both Super Mario Bros. Deluxe and my old copy of Crystal... "THIS GAME MUST BE PLAYED ON A GAME BOY COLOR SYSTEM" blah blah blah. I can't believe it, how could I read one thing on one site I never heard of and take it as fact!?! They probably just saw a picture of what the SGB2 looked like and assumed that was the case... I guess I am glad to have a Super Game Boy with a link port, which I had always wanted since I was really young, but now all those dreams I'd been having of playing Pokémon Crystal on my Super Nintendo... gone. :(
    Game... ovahhhhhhhhh!!!

    		 Man that does suck.

    (pats Bomberman's back) hey, cheer up. I'm sure some person on the internet would make something like that. Also, you'd be able to play it on Pokemon Stadium 2 with the N64 transferpak.

    		 Yeah I know, but like I said, it's extremely sensitive, not to mention the sound quality's a bit... lacking. Ahh well, I'll get used to it I guess.

    		 No, it wasn't the seller, I read it on a website. The seller's description and pictures were accurate.

    		 Well maybe there will be a person to hack into his SBG to enable it to play GBC games and sell it or something.

    		 No, I didn't, but apparently, the Game Boy Player's the only way you'll be able to play GBC games on the big screen aside from emulation, so you're just going to have to live with it, I'm afraid... it sucks about the Super Game Boy 2, though, but at least you have a fancier version of one of the coolest peripherals to date!

    		 I would use the Game Boy Player, but you also seem to be forgetting Pokémon Stadium 2, which I prefer because it plays much more like the Super Game Boy. Remember my idea of putting the transfer pak in a controller I won't be using?
