The '''Game Boy Printer''', known as the {{nihongo foot|'''Pocket Printer'''|ポケットプリンタ|Poketto Purinta|lead=yes|group=lower-alpha}} in Japan, is a [[thermal printer]] accessory released by [[Nintendo]]. It allows users to print special images from over 100 compatible [[Game Boy]] and [[Game Boy Color]] games onto thermal paper, which can then be applied as [[sticker]]s. The accessory was designed primarily for use with the [[Game Boy Camera]], which it released alongside in 1998.

==Overview==
[[File:Nintendo PocketPrinter.JPG|thumb|The Japanese version, known as the Pocket Printer]]
The Game Boy Printer was originally designed by [[Hirokazu Tanaka]] for use with the [[Game Boy Camera]].<ref>{{cite web | title=Square Enix Music Online :: Hirokazu Tanaka :: Biography | website=Square Enix Marketing | date=August 11, 2007 | url=https://www.squareenixmusic.com/composers/tanaka/biography.shtml | access-date=October 21, 2025}}</ref> It connects to the Game Boy through the system's EXT port, similar to the [[Game Link Cable]]. As different Game Boy models feature differently-sized ports, the printer is packaged with a "Universal [[Game Link Cable]]" that features multiple connector types.<ref>{{cite web | title=Game Boy / Pocket / Color | website=Nintendo of Europe SE | url=https://www.nintendo.com/en-gb/Support/Game-Boy-Pocket-Color/Accessories/Game-Boy-Printer/Game-Boy-Printer-619594.html | access-date=October 21, 2025}}</ref> The device is compatible with all Game Boy models except the [[Game Boy Micro]], which uses a different port type and cannot play Game Boy and Game Boy Color games.<ref name=RG>{{Cite magazine |date=March 2017 |title=Peripheral Vision: Game Boy Printer |magazine=[[Retro Gamer]] |pages=46–47 |issue=165 |issn=1742-3155}}</ref>

The printer requires six [[AA battery|AA batteries]] for power.<ref name=RG/> It uses a proprietary 38mm wide [[thermal paper]] with adhesive backing, though printed images are only 22mm in width.<ref name=specs/> The printer is only capable of printing monochrome images; to compensate, Nintendo sold paper rolls in multiple colors.<ref name=NF/> New paper rolls were sold at a price of {{yen|500}} in Japan and {{usd|9.95}} in the United States, and could print an estimated 100 images each.<ref name=specs/><ref name=USPrice/> Once printed, the adhesive backing allowed the images to be applied as stickers.<ref name=GBComp/>

In Japan, a ''[[Pokémon]]''-themed version of the printer was released in September 1998 alongside ''[[Pokémon Yellow]]''.<ref>{{cite magazine |title=ポケットプリンタで「ずかん」や 「ボックス」をプリントしてみよう |trans-title=Print out "picture books" and "boxes" with a Pocket Printer |magazine=The 64Dream |issue=26 |publisher=Mainichi Communications |date=November 1998 |page=121 |lang=ja}}</ref>

==Games with Game Boy Printer support==
[[File:Gameboyprinter-hardware 2.jpg|thumb|Internal components of the Game Boy Printer]]
The Game Boy Printer was primarily intended to act as a companion to the [[Game Boy Camera]], allowing players to print their photographs.<ref name=GBComp>{{cite book|title=The Game Boy Companion|page=42|publisher=Future Publishing|last=Kitts|first=Martin|editor=Ball, Andrea|date=September 2000|url=https://archive.org/details/n64-presents-the-game-boy-companion_202206/page/n41}}</ref> However, multiple other games released between 1998 and 2001 featured support for the Game Boy Printer, allowing players to print their high scores or special unlockable images.<ref name=GBComp/> One of the printer's most notable uses was in the ''[[Pokémon]]'' series, which allowed players to print out any Pokémon's Pokédex entry.<ref name=RG/>

The following is a list of 110 games that support the Game Boy Printer, only 35 of which were released outside of Japan.

Some games intended to feature Game Boy Printer support, such as ''[[Pokemon Picross]]'' and ''[[Hello Kitty|Hello Kitty Pocket Camera]]'', were never released.<ref>{{cite web | last=Torres | first=Sheila | title=Pokémon Picross: Inside The Cancelled Game Boy Color Spin-Off | website=TheGamer | date=July 30, 2020 | url=https://www.thegamer.com/pokemon-picross-cancelled-game-boy-color-spin-off/ | access-date=August 20, 2025}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | last=Walker | first=Ian | title=New Nintendo Leak Includes Numerous Unreleased Game Boy Games | website=Kotaku | date=September 10, 2020 | url=https://kotaku.com/new-nintendo-leak-includes-several-unreleased-game-boy-1845017212 | access-date=August 20, 2025}}</ref> During development of ''[[Pokémon Snap]]'' (1999), [[Satoru Iwata]] experimented with transferring photos to the Game Boy Camera using the [[Transfer Pak]] so that they could be printed using the Game Boy Printer; however, the development team found the printer's output quality to be insufficient, and the feature was abandoned in favor of printing stickers through specialized stations at specific retailers.<ref>{{cite magazine |title=大爆笑HAL研ブラザーズ |trans-title=Big Laugh HAL Laboratory Bros. |magazine=The 64Dream |issue=32 |publisher=Mainichi Communications |date=May 1999 |page=85 |lang=ja}}</ref>

==Legacy==
Due to the discontinuation of its proprietary printer paper and the impermanence of thermal printing, the Game Boy Printer does not see significant use in the modern day.<ref name=NF/><ref>{{cite web | last=Chrysostomou | first=George | title=The History and Evolution of Game Boy Accessories | website=Den of Geek | date=April 25, 2024 | url=https://www.denofgeek.com/games/the-history-of-game-boy-accessories/ | access-date=October 21, 2025}}</ref> As a result, hobbyists have developed alternate homebrew methods to transfer printer images from the Game Boy to more modern devices.<ref>{{cite web | last=Humphries | first=Matthew | title=Game Boy Camera Photos Can Finally Be Transferred to a Smartphone | website=PCMAG | date=July 12, 2021 | url=https://www.pcmag.com/news/game-boy-camera-photos-can-finally-be-transferred-to-a-smartphone | access-date=October 21, 2025}}</ref>
