Hello Player 1

I’m a huge fan of the original Game Boy’s weird green display. Hard to explain why, but I feel that it somehow made games cooler. To illustrate, check out this pic of a b/w emulated Super Mario Land, then compare it with this yellow-ish pic of the original. See what I mean?
In Edge’s ‘Animal Crossing MMO’ story a couple weeks back, there was news of an official DS flash card that would be used to store purchased classic Game Boy titles. Though we’ve had no official word on whether this news is for real or not, I can’t help but wonder if pre-GBC titles will be given the straight-up b/w treatment when it eventually does happen.
While I can’t wait to play GB classics on my DS, I really hope Nintendo is cool enough (as it was on GB’s successors) to include the option to display them in their original yellow goodness. What about you? Do you think the original color scheme is something that should be preserved, or would you prefer proper b/w? Think I’m crazy for caring?? Chime in.
[Update] My pal Rob threw together a cool mockup.
