My inner-child wishes this was real, sooo much.

Game Boy Printer USB cable. Modder Furrtek is actually selling these for €12, or around $16.69, on his site. I remember Mad Catz used to sell a parallel port cable allowing you to print your Game Boy Camera pics on a regular PC printer, but this is a neat reversal of that idea.
Anyway, this is perfect for all your “printing stuff in black and white on 3.8-cm wide paper” needs!
Buy: Game Boy Printer, Printer Paper

These Custom Game Boys from Chippopotamus Are SO BAD-ASS!!!
Here at the Too Many Games expo, Chris from Chippopotamus is selling an array of these sickeningly gorgeous Game Boy systems modded specifically for chiptuning. Each one is Pro Sound moded and backlit.
The site’s still in development (chippopotamus.com), but you can email chris(at)chippopotamus(dot)com if you’re interested in scoring one of these for yourself.
I so want one of these :D

Bootleg Game Boy cartridge with a cat hologram sticker. The sticker, unfortunately, wasn’t originally on here. This guy’s friend bought the 80-in-1 cart in the Philippines, and he decided to add the cat sticker later.
This is pretty much the best Game Boy cartridge ever. Yes, even better than those rare, import-only white carts for Tamagotchi, Nintendo Power, and Purikura!
Buy: Life-changing cat stickers

I don’t know why, but there’s something so fascinating about bootleg cartridges.

Photos of the “Gunpei Yokoi: The Man called ‘God of Games’” exhibit, taken by Inside-Games. This exhibit, featuring playable (and, I’m sure, non-playable) items designed by Gunpei Yokoi, will be open at Harajuku’s “Vacant” venue until August 29.
In addition to looking at Virtual Boys, Ele-Congas, Wonderswans, and other items from the legendary engineer’s career, attendees also have the opportunity to buy used Game Boys, books, and reproduction Love Testers.

I would really love to go there. Gunpei Yokoi is the man!
