@Sebidix Sega tried that exact argument against Accolade and lost. Attempting to use trademarked information as part of your hardware security doesn't let you sue other publishers for trademark infringement. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sega_v._Accolade
And any design patent Nintendo had on gameboy cartridges themselves would be well expired by now.
@Sebidix The only part of that is plausible is the reproduction cartridge shells, but those don't even have the Nintendo logo on them and instead just say "Game" like most cheap repro catridge shells. Everything else, i.e. the boxes and manuals, is original and also does not include Nintendo logos or trademarks. Nintendo can't copyright the dimensions of a retail box nor the edge connector pin layout of a game catridge. Please look at what they're selling on their website before spreading misinformation.
