advice wanted

I have a game boy player for my GC, but i also have a super game boy for my snes. Other than the fact of just having a sgb, is there any real reason to hold onto it anymore?

It lets you draw over portions of the screen, it's pretty light, holds a GameBoy game...and gives you custom borders. I'm not sure if the GameBoy Player does anything with Super Game Boy enhanced GB games (like Donkey Kong) or not, but I haven't seen any indication you can use borders on the GBP.

Yeah. They only go for $2.99 at GameStop (which translates into like... $0.50 trade-in?) but are worth a lot more, in my opinion.

But, if you feel it would be worthwhile to give/trade it to someone, I'd understand. It's basically redundant in that case, with the exceptions that Ed already mentioned. By the way, I also heard that Super Game Boy-enhanced features do not work with the Game Boy Player.

I paid full price/new for the SUPER GAME BOY, so seeing it so cheap is sad


However, KEEP IT!

Game Boy player does not recognize any Super Game Boy enhancements. Meaning everything will be treated as a normal monochrome GB game. No special borders, no 52 colors or whatever..

Also it's easier to play the games with an SNES controller than the Gamecube's..

Good point.

I got my Super Game Boy when it just came out, too. Then, I sold it. Two weeks ago, I got another one. So... I'm not too sad.

The "nail on the head" comment comes to mind here.
