As a toy for user-generated content, it can be used to shoot grayscale photographs, edit them or create original drawings, and transfer images between GBC units or to the 64DD art game suite Mario Artist. Its images can be printed to thermal paper with the Game Boy Printer. The GBC's cartridge contains minigames based on Nintendo's early games such as the arcade video game Space Fever and the Game & Watch handheld game Ball, and a chiptune music sequencer.

Should be treated like a gimmick than a game. By this view it's incredibly funny and stupid, in a good way.

bought a used one from japan that was full of random pics a kid took 20 years ago, it's been a nice toy to have

Truly innovative, Nintendo has always been at their coolest when they enact another one of their surreal, unique experiments - authentically weird and deeply horrifying for no other reason than for shits and giggles (which I admire). For what this is, it's impressive. However, you can knock out absolutely everything this thing has to offer in maybe an hour? After that you've pretty much just got the camera, which let's be honest - the novelty is neat but you can only take so many each time before it gets stale. The random scary faces are iconic, though.

Very fond memories of this "game" has loads of fun mini games. The camera wasn't great but had enough detail to make out faces and edit them. Creative fun.

those faces are scary as shit i found this at a goodwill
