Beavis and Butt-Head Cheater's Guide

I was beginning to wonder why the Game Boy release wasn't covered, then I remembered the Game Boy release was MUCH later than the SNES/Genesis/GG version...  for some reason...  

The Game Boy release was its own separate thing, developed by a separate studio. Why it got green-lit five years after the Genesis, SNES, and Game Gear versions, and on the monochromatic Game Boy of all things, I have no idea.

Because the Game Boy was popular, and...was Beavis and Butt-Head still popular/relevant in 1998?

I recall trying the game a few years back, and thinking that while not great, it was far from the worst game or licensed game that I have ever tried.

Beavis and Butt-Head were, indeed, still popular and relevant in the late 90s. They were still releasing PC games based on the property in '98, and the show had only gone off the air the year before. I guess I was more thinking if they were doing a handheld release, why not use the Game Boy Color instead of the regular Game Boy. Then again, the GBC had only been out for around a year, and Nintendo was notorious for playing hardball with access to development kits to new hardware. It makes sense, I suppose, to market it to people who already had a GB and also had memories of watching B&B a few years back. Game Boy certainly had an enormous market share for handhelds.

The B&B games are, for the most part, not bad. They aren't works of art or anything, but they pretty much accomplish exactly what they set out to do, and do it competently.
