Notes

  • Many accessories were released for the Game Boy, including the Game Link Cable, which could be used to connect two Game Boys for multiplayer battles, and the Game Boy Printer, which allowed special images from supported games to be printed onto thermal paper. Duel Fight Beast Wars supported both of these accessories, notably being one of only around 50 or so games to support the latter.
  • Nintendo's home consoles featured their own sets of accessories that allowed them to connect to the Game Boy in different ways. The Super Game Boy allowed Game Boy games to be played on the TV via the Super Nintendo Entertainment system, sometimes adding special features such as custom graphical borders and enhanced sound effects. The Transfer Pak allowed certain Nintendo 64 games to exchange data with their Game Boy counterparts to unlock bonuses. Again, Duel Fight Beast Wars was one of only a few games to have built-in support for both accessories.
