Death of Gameboy

NamesDontMatter · May 12, 2006

Since Nintendo DS has been so successful, it is time to slowly end the long life of Gameboy. Many still remember those huge gameboys back from the early 90's. Gameboys first appeared in 1989. It is the longest lasting game system ever released.

(Nintendo President Satoru Iwata said)I would have a second thought about using our resources on what would be the next generation of Game Boy Advance, considering the strong support DS is now enjoying," Iwata said. "The Japanese game market is now evolving around DS. We don't need to do something that will pour cold water on the situation.

DS is meh. Crappy controls+crappy graphics= major MEH.
Some innovative ideas, but not well implemented IMO.

out of all the gbs, the gb pocket and the gb advance were the best out of all of them. pocket becuase it was small and had a very large clear b&w screen the the advance cuz of the shape, much better to hold.

I had a pocket a long time ago. If it had a backlit screen, it would have been perfect.
