I've a question about modern "homebrew" games made for old consoles:

Why is the original Gameboy such a popular target? Itch lists a whopping 6406 games tagged as targeting Gameboy. The second-most popular old console is the NES, with only 1848 games on Itch: less than a third as many as the Gameboy. The Gameboy Advance sits at only 450 games on Itch.

Why? What makes the Gameboy so much better of a platform for indie devs compared to the NES or later consoles? #Retrocomputing #RetroGaming #NES #NintendoEntertainmentSystem #Gameboy #GB #GameboyAdvance #GBA #SuperNES #SNES #SuperNintendoEntertainmentSystem #Itch
