I have a game planned within the next few years, I just haven't decided on a platform.

Say I made it for the Game Boy Color, how many people would buy it?

Is it feasible? Would a publisher actually want to pick it up?

I assume it would do great. :x

Not GBC. No one has those but you and me now. Maybe GBA or NES.

Still, to make a game you have to get the permission of the maker of the system and they need to be able to send you the stuff to make the game out of. Nintendo does not use GBC game stuff any more. That is why there are no more being made. Therefore, you would at least need to make it for GBA.

I can learn whichever language it takes, I'm not an idiot, so I'm covered there. I can do professional quality artwork. I just need an old system. GBA is actually perfect, but GBC pushes the buttons and makes it much more epic.

Go SNES!
