Because GameBoys are cheap and plentiful, and already a parody of "classic mini".

Also aside from a few gems the Gameboy in hindsight sucked.

You can play gameboy games on the SNES classic if you do *things I'm not necessarily condoning*. Maybe some people voting know that and aren't voting for gameboy because they can already play them on the SNES classic

Because to this day, the most notable gameboy game is Tetris. And that's coming from someone who absolutely loves this system.
Also I doubt it would have the same charm without the original screen technology.

I'd argue Pokemon was the most notable release on Gameboy. My personal favorite is warioland though

Because N64 emulation sucks on PC and the Game Boy mostly had worse versions of NES and SNES games.

Well it being the most dominant handheld for almost 10 years (Gameboy Color came out in 1998) kind of obligated it to having a lot of bad games. It's closest competitor the Game Gear really didn't even come close, so if any console rules gaming that long it's bound to get a lot of crap games.

Even a lot of the first party titles are awful though. Most of the games just look and play terribly due to the limitations of the device. Handheld gaming didnt start to get decent until the gameboy advance in my opinion.

This is my signature, there are many others like it, but this one is mine.
If you take 110% of what I say seriously then you're gonna have a bad time.

The Gameboy excelled most a puzzle games, so a lot of it's best stuff is there. Obviously some exceptions to that rule, but the limitations of the hardware were not a huge deal when playing:

Tetris
Mario's Picross
Dr. Mario
Etc....
