Being someone who's own this when it was 2 years old in the market, its probably one of the funnest little things Nintendo has created for the Game Boy. In its time, there was barely any affordable digital cameras. So this little thing was there to fill in for us Game Boy owners. Has multiple lens options (like mirrored or panorama), stamp and doodle feature, slideshow maker (which is what I used to create movies that were similar to YTPs), hotspots that make transitions to other pictures you took, the game and watch game ball that has you post a face on it, a DJ music mixer, and several more fun extras. This is also the first Nintendo product to feature Pokemon in it in places outside of Japan. Way before those weird promotional videos and the anime. Pokemon Featured are Bulbasaur, Squrtle, Charmander, Pikachu, Meowth and Mew as stamps. And Venusaur, Blastoise, Charizard and Mewtwo as an image on album B.

Overall, it was a fun little device during its time. In the current age, it probably won't see as much use anymore considering digital cameras have gotten better as well as there being apps that function similarity to the doodle and stamp functions. Still a fun little device to look at if you're curious on what 90s kids used as digital cameras.
