"Enhanced joystick.. 2X magnification.. stereo sound.. night lights." Night lights..? That's right, the original Game Boy didn't have a backlit display. A company by the name of STD - yep S-T-D, made Handy Boy for the Game Boy. Guess they thought there was a market for those that complained the screen was too small or that you couldn't see it at all in the dark. As for stereo sound... I'm not sure I want to hear the sound coming out of the Game Boy any louder. Those games weren't producing the best audio... The enhanced joystick was actually cool. Not unlike modern day toggle sticks on controllers for Xbox & PlayStation. But the Game Boy, which is known for its portability, is no longer easily portable once this attachment is on. It's so ridiculous that the commercial does its best to hide it, even putting text over the main part of the device. Quite hilarious in my opinion.

And for those who were fine with tiny speakers but wanted a bigger screen and still wanted your device to weigh twice as much, don't forget about the Light Boy
