→Super Game Boy
There aren't as many accessories that were released for the SNES compared to the NES<ref>[[Wikipedia:List of Super Nintendo Entertainment System accessories|List of Super Nintendo Entertainment System accessories]]</ref> but there is still quite a few to go over.
===Super Game Boy===
The '''[[gametech:Super Game Boy|Super Game Boy]]''' was a peripheral designed to play Game Boy and black Game Boy Color cartridges on the Super Nintendo through the cartridge slot, just like a typical SNES game. The Super Game Boy uses a special version of the Game Boy hardware to allow for ''Super Game Boy enhanced'' Game Boy games to operate its otherwise hidden featuressuch as colorization and improved sound by way of the SNES's more sophisticated sound hardware. Although many [[Game Boy/Game Boy Color emulators]] and [[Game Boy Advance emulators]] fake this ability, [[higan]] and forks are the first and only emulators to truly emulate its features.
Another thing to note is that there is a redesigned model, only released in Japan, called the ''Super Game Boy 2''. It has the ability to use a link cable connection that the first model lacks. It also fixes a slight overclocking issue and runs games at normal speed.
