Even back in the era of the NES and the Game Boy, Nintendo and its partners occasionally tried to market their video game platforms as something other than a video game platform – something practical, something you can use in your daily life. One of the more misguided attempts at this was the Bandai Pocket Sonar. This device is literally a sonar buoy for locating fish beneath water – the data would transmit back to your Game Boy via the link cable jack and tell you the location of the fish. Apparently, the included game cartridge also has a minigame to play when you’re waiting for a nibble. I… don’t really have a witty comment for this one. It exists, and here we are.
