Actual Value of WideBoy

Hey

I bought a Wideboy 64agb at a local flea market today for 8 dollars, I know this device is rare to the public and what-not and I looked up more info about it and it said that Nintendo payed this company Intelligent Systems, to make such a device to sell to magazines so they could use it to take larger screenshots of GB/GBC/GBA games and to developing companies to test games etc.., anyways I found one article one Wikipedia that said that Nintendo sold the unit for 1,400 USD, I looked for a second article for validitity and it said the same. So I ask just in pure curiosity if this unit's price was really set so high any info would be appriciated

Thanks

Could you post a picture of it?

do you have just the cartridge? because one site says that you can control it with the N64 controller and http://devkits.handheldmuseum.com/GBC_Wideboy.htm says that you need the Gameboy controller...

Have you tested it to see if it works and to see how awesome it is?

Sure, and yes I did test it it works really well although the controls do take some getting used to, at least for me since this is maybe the second time I used the N64's dpad

You're so lucky, I wish I could find one. Does it play GBC games?

That is an amazing find. You should post it over at assemblergames.com , in the Miracle thread.

You could easily get $300-400 on eBay for that, if you decided to sell it.

Good find!
