Anybody ever tried to change a Game Boy Cartridge battery? I have not, but I found these nice instructions.

Yes, just one. But I think they actually go out faster than NES batteries! I played Link’s Awakening DX a few years ago, but had to change out the battery first. Meanwhile, I’ve played a lot more NES games and only seen a dead battery there once or twice. But I think I watched a youtube video for mine, and I remember it being pretty similar to a NES change, but working on a slightly smaller scale.
