GBKiss
What is GBKiss?
GBKiss is a platform developed by Hudson Soft and released in 1997 for the Nintendo Game Boy. Supported cartridges can store files and transfer them wirelessly over infrared.
Hudson developed a number of files for GBKiss and distributed them via multiple channels:
- As built-in software (Kiss-Mon 2) distributed with Pocket Bomberman;
- Through a promotional cartridge in partnership with the Famitsu Bros gaming magazine;
- With the GBKiss Link infrared modem, bundled on an included floppy disk; and
- As downloads on the Hudson website for use with the GBKiss Link modem.
GBKiss was never released outside of Japan. It was supported only for a short time, and it is unclear how widely GBKiss software was ever distributed. This website serves to document and preserve it.
