Behind the scenes: is this an idea?

maybe take photos of different games with the camera and see if you can guess it? maybe the image starts close and you zoom out gradually per guess

There's definitely an idea in this! I've never seen a Game Boy Camera in action. I can't wait to see what comes out for it!

I don't think they are behind the times. I think they are in their own time. Nintendo print money, keep consumers mostly happy(if a little frustrated towards the end of their product cycles) and they make fun for the whole family. It's a credit to how good everything else about them is, that even though their online is terrible, even though they are have archaic anti-consumer practices, people still love them and the games they put out.

You could do some sort of pictionary minigame with this. I saw NerdCubed and Ashens a while back playing a game on the HTC Vive where player one says "draw the box art of a video game you like" and player two draws/builds something in SculptrVR in under 60 seconds. Then player one has to guess exactly what (in this case) box art they drew. Would be interesting to do something similar to that, but the person guessing would only be able to see what the other was making through the gameboy camera. Just the first idea that came to mind

I didn't even know the Gameboy camera was a thing. I heard a rumor that The Bonus Points are thinking about getting a bunch of them to record their podcasts with them.
