Picking out the best Game Boy games of all time isn't easy. Not only was this Nintendo handheld some of our team members' first console that holds dear memories, but some forgotten hits have resurfaced again thanks to ports and inclusions in Nintendo Switch Online. However, after many internal debates and replaying the classics, we've found the top 10 games that you should revisit today.
The Game Boy was (and still is) truly a cultural benchmark when it comes to innovations in the industry, and that stratospheric importance is mirrored in the device's top homegrown titles of its heyday. From the best Zelda games to the greatest Mario games and beyond, so many excellent series that we still see alive and kicking today on the Switch 2 found their first audiences on the Game Boy. While not all our picks are included in Nintendo Switch Online (so they are a bit tricky to play if you aren't a proud owner of one of the best handheld consoles ever), all of our picks are influential and are still memorable standouts that deserve the spotlight.
