The “GB Camera” app allows users to take pictures in the classic Game Boy Camera resolution (almost) and color scheme. In addition to faithful GB Camera simulation, it features a bunch of options, like upscaling to 1600 x 1200, adjusting the brightness and contrast, and turning off dithering for an even blockier look. This totally makes me wish I could afford one of those fancy-ass phones! I’d grab a Game Boy iPhone case and the Game Boy Springboard skin and pretend that I had spent a lot less money and just bought a damn Game Boy!

The developer, Epicore, also made a “C64 Camera” app.

Is Game Boy Camera nostalgia what’s hot right now? Did Jeremy Parish’s tutorial on GB Camera-izing your photos turn into a trend? Or do two recent Game Boy Camera things (three if you count Eric’s Photoshop Action, which I so do) not really constitute a trend?

As unfortunate as it is that DSi Camera doesn’t include a Game Boy Camera filter (future firmware update?), you can still bring your shots into Photoshop to create a faux-GBC image with this step-by-step guide posted by 1UP’s Jeremy Parish.

Or if you’re lazy, you can download and install this Photoshop Action I created based on the 1UP walkthrough. Just make sure your image is sized at 160x144!

Oh, and if you can figure out where all the above images are from, congratulations, you read our site too much.
