Super Game Boy Commander: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 15:36, 18 September 2015

The Super Game Boy Commander was a controller made to compliment the Super Game Boy, which was a special cartridge that played Game Boy games on the Super NES.

Around the time the Super Game Boy came out in Japan, Hori released this controller that partially simulated the look and the feel of the original Game Boy unit itself — right down to the speaker grille in the lower right corner. The resulting product, the SGB Commander, never saw the light of day in the US.

It was a controller themed after the original Game Boy to be used with the Super Game Boy adapter for the Super Nintendo.

Features

Press the 'SPEED' button to slow down the game, again to slow it down further, and again to resume normal speed. An undocumented and hidden mode is hidden within the Super Game Boy/2 BIOS that lets you speed up the game by holding "UP" upon booting.
