Essentially a backwards compatible/semi-upscaling adapter, the Super Game Boy translates the original Nintendo handheld’s cartridges so that they’re playable on a SNES console even adding color to select titles for further quality assurance.
Nintendo’s official successor to the Zapper, the Super Scope intentionally appears more like a NERF bazooka than a traditional gun for safety reasons though the logic behind replacing the former’s controller cord with 6 AA batteries that drain at the speed of light is beyond mystifying.
A necessary prerequisite to peak performance in multi-player titles like Super Bomberman 2 and Sunset Riders, the Super Multitap from Hudson Soft increases controller-input capacity up to 5 allowing for a room full of players to participate together simultaneously.
Once again forming out of the mist to grant wishes to weary gamers, the Game Genie for the SNES contains the same basic cheat code application premise as its cross-platform contemporaries except this time it comes with a nifty toggle switch and green light for no discernible reason whatsoever.
A prepubescent paddle into the ocean of online innovation, the XBAND was the very first internet-based gaming network connecting thousands of players together from the comfort of their living room via phone cable however its lack of refinement in terms of lag and support became calling cards to the peripheral’s eventual demise.
