Remember months ago when that one kid bought Madden at Wal-Mart only to find Redneck Shit inside? And even before that, remember that guy who got a PSP preloaded with porn? Well this time its Nintendo’s turn! Jodi Wykle, a mom in Tampa Bay, went to buy her son a Nintendo DS for his birthday, when the time to open up the present comes, oh surprise! There’s no DS inside but a bunch of rocks and a chinese newspaper.

Walmart refused to replace the box with one that had a slightly more technologically advanced content than rocks. It was only after the local TV station pressured with the story that corporate heads at Wal-Mart finally agreed to replace the product and add a $20 gift card.

Surely a mistake with a previously returned product or a piece of stolen hardware back at the production plant right? Well I beg to differ! I think Miyamoto was trying to test out his next revolutionary portable platform: a bunch of rocks. He got the idea from when he was little and he used to play with a bunch of rocks.

This week marks the 20th year since the Game Boy first saw the light of day in Japan, and what a sweet 20 years its been. While not the first portable platform it was undeniably the first that got it right and became the father of modern portable gaming.Though the Game Boy brand is effectively dead since the DS line does not bear the Game Boy moniker, its legacy in the industry will never fade. More importantly though, is its legacy in the memories of many generations of gamers as a staple of our childhood and teenage years.

So let us celebrate and commemorate our old and loyal pal the Game Boy. Share with us your memories with the  birthday boy, your first one, your last one, the one that got lost or stolen, the one that was there to help you through your darkest hours. Let us remember the time when the only color our adventures needed was green.
