    when I was young, I got a GameBoy. I had a friend who had a GameGear.
    At first, I was amazed with the GameGear. But then I realized that it took more batteries and lasted far less. I knew that my parents would never buy that many batteries so I completely lost interest in it.
    Even now, I am sure that battery life is what made the GameBoy a huge success.

    Pirating Nintendo games in South America was common not only because piracy was a thing but because Nintendo made zero effort to sell their products legally there.
    They were even wrongly priced. GB games would cost much more than 2 genesis games.
    More than that, many people didn't speak English back then, so many pirate versions were patched so people could understand the game.
    When Nintendo requested r4 to not be sold, they were ask if that could harm other consumers that used the product for other things. As Nintendo failed to proof r4 exclusive usage for piracy it was reject in Brazil and Argentina.
