Title: What does N&B stand for?
Post by: WarioLandMan on November 05, 2003, 12:02:53 PM: You know on Super Mario Land 2, on the Mario zone on the last level (the one made out of Legos) there is an N&B on one of the bricks.
What does this mean/stand for???

First thing that came to mind when I saw this topic was Nuts & Bolts.

Post by: Luigison on December 15, 2003, 07:32:14 PM: I have noticed N&B in and on may GameBoy games. I thing it might have something to do with the original GameBoy. I found several nonEnglish websites that called the GameBoy games N&B, NB, etc. Maybe it means something about the GameBoy like B&W means Black and White for TVs, or maybe its similiar to G&W for Game and Watch.

Negro y Blanco (Spanish)
Noir et Blanc (French)

Post by: Chupperson Weird on December 16, 2003, 11:13:37 PM: Hmm. I was searching "Game Boy N&B" and the only place I found N&B was in reference to the display.

I wish I were sun at dusk. ... ... ... ... ......ha ha kidding.

Post by: WarioLandMan on January 08, 2004, 11:35:16 AM: I was thinking maybe it meant something in Japanese. The ampersand "&" is backwards. Maybe that means something. Either that or its a mistake.

Post by: WarioLandMan on January 16, 2004, 03:12:04 PM: *meanwhile* I was searching for N&B and I found nearly fifty sites in French. One was kind of interesting. It was for GBA it said something like: serial connection a la Dolphin. Anyways, I found that N&B does mean B&W.
