All of my battery backed games are still going strong. Not just the Gameboy ones but all the other retro consoles in my extensive collection too.
However I do think I’ve been exceptionally lucky not to have even one bad egg amongst my archive.
Ironically it’s not the games that’s caused me battery issues but the consoles themselves. My Saturn, Dreamcast and Xbox all needed to have batteries replaced despite being several generations more recent.
