* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: Contemporary fans tend to regard this and the Printer as AwesomeButImpractical at best, nigh-on ''useless'' at worst, with its only relevancy being collector’s items or a curiosity for photographers and Nintendo fans. It's especially hard to recognize that it was once the smallest digital camera in the world.

* OvershadowedByControversy: The Game Boy Camera was a pretty significant technological advancement for its day, but all most people (especially those who haven't played it or weren't even born when it came out) know it for nowadays are its infamously terrifying EasterEggs, to the point that they're one of the first things suggested by Google autocomplete if one looks up the system. It doesn't help that the faces are frequently included on [[TopTenList Top Ten Lists]] such as "Creepiest Nintendo things" or "Creepiest Video Game Easter Eggs" on sites like Website/{{Youtube}} or Website/{{Cracked}}.

* NightmareFuel: You'd think a camera wouldn't give you nightmares? You'd be dead, dead, dead wrong... Some disturbing vandalized faces of Nintendo employees can appear labeled with the caption "Who are you running from?" alongside an unsettling noise. It can appear when you press "RUN" as [[JumpScare jump scares]], but it can also appear when the game has errors, such as the printer not working. Needless to say, this terrified a lot of unsuspecting children.
