I was stumbling around Etsy last night and happened to come across a very interesting find. Soap in the shape of an original Game Boy. From the description on the page… (The) Game Boy Soap is the same size as the actual Game Boy. It was a tremendous amount of work and it shows in its very realistic details that were painstakingly created – from the buttons, the letters, the screen, and...

Review: 20 Years of Nintendo Power is entertaining history abridged
