Game Boy Color spotted running on Android Wear watch
Want to carry around a full gaming experience on your watch? Then you need to check this video out.
Smartwatches are slowly gaining in popularity as more of them are being released every couple of months. If you own a smartwatch, then you know the pickings are slim if you’re looking for actual games to play on your watch. But a video published on YouTube may very well sell some people to buying a watch that runs Android Wear now that we know it’ll be able to play Game Boy Color games.
Corbin Davenport was able to transform his Samsung Gear Live into a small Game Boy Color by tweaking his watch to run Android apps. He also set it up with a MOGA gamepad, which just so happens to be compatible with the “VGB” emulator.
This kind of setup may defeat the purpose of the watch’s portability when it relies on a gamepad to play, although the other alternative of using the small screen to input commands seems an even worse option. Either way, this is certainly a cool thing that I can’t wait to try for myself on my Gear Live later today.
