Sure, browsing website or watching videos on the original Nintendo Game Boy may not offer the best experience, but just having the ability to do so is cool enough. One programmer decided to make it a reality, thought this cartridge can only be used for telnet-style communication and access Wikipedia articles currently.
Put simply, this is a standard 32kiB Game Boy cartridge with an ESP8266 microcontroller to add Wifi capabilities. This enables users to access data from the internet or a local network on your Game Boy – you can even send data from it. Someone experienced with the ESP8266 can easily write simple code that is executed on the Game Boy as an interface for things like Twitter and Reddit.

At the time of writing this article, I have only implemented two demos: A simple communication demo that allows you to log onto the cartridge via telnet and send and receive text messages. And a Wikipedia client, which allows you to enter the title of an article1, then fetches the ‘extract’ of that article and displays it,” said its creator.
