Perhaps one of the most impressive Nintendo accessories has ever released is the Game Boy Camera. Back when it arrived on the scene in 1998, camera phones weren’t even a thing yet – so to have something like this (especially if you were a bit younger at the time), was pretty neat.
Its legacy lives on via the company’s portable hardware which eventually incorporated cameras and even their own mini-games. Just a few weeks ago, for example, we saw how a Game Boy Camera was being used to take some Awesome Retro Canvas Imagery. Now, Twitter user @bernardcapulong has turned his Game Boy Camera into a webcam.
As can be seen in the video above, Bernard is connected to a Zoom call and is recording the footage off a Game Boy Camera slotted into a Super Game Boy 2 cartridge inside a Super Nintendo. It’s linked to a bunch of other extra attachments that are expensive and he admits it’s not exactly a practical way to participate in online meetings.
