When the world didn’t even know the term selfie, Nintendo offered a front-facing camera on this device for users to take pictures of themselves. Guinness recognized it as the world’s smallest digital camera in the year 1999.
The manufacturing of this pocket camera was ceased in the year 2002.
Meanwhile, a retro gaming fan addict just resurrected the Game Boy Camera by using it in a unique manner.
A user named emil10001 succeeded in attaching the pocket camera to their Steam Deck to make it work. Posting a video of the amazing build, they showed how the GBC was functioning as intended while being attached to the Steam Deck.
Although the quality coming out from this kind of crossover won’t be great, by any means, the experiment is quite appealing though. It also shows how much compatible Valve’s handheld gaming PC is, even with a tech product from 1998.
