Game Boy Game Pak is the brand name of the ROM cartridges used to store video game data for the Game Boy family of handheld video game consoles, part of Nintendo's line of Game Pak cartridges. Early Game Boy games were limited to 32 kilobytes (KB) of read-only memory (ROM) storage due to the system's 8-bit architecture .
Unlike the NES titles, these games were never released to the general public. [12] Additionally, since these titles run natively and are not emulated, they do not support typical emulation features, such as suspended play and restore points. There were 10 Game Boy Advance games available exclusively for Nintendo 3DS Ambassadors.
The Game Boy Player allows for control either through a GameCube controller or a Game Boy Advance or Game Boy Advance SP hooked up with a GameCube-Game Boy Advance Cable. When using a Game Boy Advance, the buttons are identical, but due to the GameCube controller's different layout, there are two different mappings players can use.
The "Game Pak" moniker was officially used only in North America, Europe, Oceania, and South Korea. In Japan, Nintendo uses the term Cassette ( カセット , Kasetto ) when referring to Famicom, Super Famicom and Nintendo 64 game paks, and Cartridge ( カートリッジ , Kātorijji ) for the Game Boy line and Virtual Boy.
Two versions were released in Japan: the original e-Reader (without a link cable port), which could read cards to unlock game content, etc.; and later the e-Reader+ (simply "e-Reader" in Australia and North America), which came with a link cable port to connect with GameCube games such as Animal Crossing and with other Game Boy Advance systems for games such as Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire.
The basic mechanics of Ruby and Sapphire are largely the same as their predecessors. As with all Pokémon games for handheld consoles, the gameplay is in third-person, overhead perspective and consists of three basic screens: a field map, in which the player navigates the main character; a battle screen; and the menu, in which the player configures their party, items, or gameplay settings.
