The Game Boy has the {{button|gb|A}}, {{button|gb|B}}, {{button|gb|start}}, and {{button|gb|select}} buttons as well as the {{button|gb|Pad}}, which make the controls similar to that on the NES. In 1995, a new version of the Game Boy, as part of Nintendo's [[:File:GBPIL x16.png|"Play It Loud!"]] campaign, was released. This version is exactly the same as the original; the only difference is that it was released in a wide variety of colors such as red, blue, green, and even clear. Game Boy and Game Boy Color games were also available on the [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Virtual Console#Nintendo 3DS|Virtual Console]] before its discontiuation in March 2023. In February 2023, they were added to the [[Nintendo Switch Online]] service. | The Game Boy has the {{button|gb|A}}, {{button|gb|B}}, {{button|gb|start}}, and {{button|gb|select}} buttons as well as the {{button|gb|Pad}}, which make the controls similar to that on the NES.
