Agreed. One more thing you forgot to say. It will drain the battery down from the phone a lot quicker than the GB Emu for the Android/iOS.

Nintendo could make their own GB/GBC portable device with all the GB/GBC classic games in it. No phone needed.

I wish Nintendo re-release Game & Watch games. Willing to buy those.
