A Closer Look At The Prototypes That Became Your Favourite Games!
Unreleased HDMYBOY Limited Edition Prototype
In December of 2014, two brothers, Josh and Zanes, had a Kickstarter campaign that was supported by 200 backers. Despite interest from across 6 continents, who pledged €25,000 between them, the kickstarter failed when the HDMYBOY did not reach its goal of €65,000. This meant the brothers received zero funds.
As is probably obvious, this product has no affiliation with Nintendo. Josh and Zanes had to set about trying to acquire alternative funding. They decided to take a new approach. To try, to learn, to adapt and try again. Josh and Zanes switched to Plan B, which was split into two phases: Research & Development and Production. During Research & Development they aimed to spend 2 to 3 months finalising the design. They also aimed to hand build 25 numbered limited edition prototypes including a Game Boy for €250 which could be ordered on their website via PayPal. On the 19th of March 2016, Josh and Zane announced that these prototypes were no longer available and that they would not be accepting any new orders until they had worked their way through their backlog.
