If you ran Nintendo, what would you do with the Game Boy line?
In 2005, Nintendo released the last Game Boy, the Game Boy Micro, which was an miniaturized version of the popular Game Boy Advance. That same year, the Nintendo DS had already began its surge as the most popular gaming system in the world. We haven’t heard a peep from the Game Boy since.
Oh, the Game Boy turned 20 today

Brilliant! Next-gen games with Game Boy, NES graphics
They’re calling these de-makes, in the spirit of Mega Man 9 and, *hopefully* Castlevania. Not real, of course, but it’s yet another example of this new kind of movement, where yesterday’s gamers are resurfacing with an appetite for great games with simpler graphics.
I miss you, Game Boy Player
I’m currently playing Super Mario Advance 4 (SMB3), which is great, but I wish I could play it on my TV. In my effort to consolidate consoles and still play every Nintendo game in 2006, I hastily got rid of my black GameCube after Wii launched. I’m now regretting it–I want a Game Boy Player. In any case, how much you wanna bet the next DS will feature a Virtual Handheld that sell...
Game Boy named most indestructible gadget
Crave says the original Game Boy is the toughest consumer electronic device ever made. From the article: There’s no two ways about it: the original Game Boy is one of the hardest gadgets ever conceived. Rumour has it this beige behemoth isn’t made of plastic, but from the skulls of fallen Gurkhas. If you ever saw one that was broken, it’s because it lost a boxing match with a nuc...
Rumor: Game Boy games for DS
OK, so how about an evening rumor or two for those of you not watching the World Series right now (or those of you without a laptop on your couch, a la me)? Animal Crossing might eventually be MMORPG some day, and Game Boy games could be coming to the DS in downloadable Virtual Console form. Remember these are just rumors, supplied in a single article by EDGE magazine, but that sounds pretty cool ...
10 years after death, Game Boy creator lives on

He died two hours later from his injuries. Now, this isn’t some post that asks “what could have been at Nintendo” if Gunpei had remained with us, because he had actually left Nintendo to work with Bandai to de...

Nintendo’s Harrison: WiiWare in 2007, Game Boy retired?
Some interesting/sad news from Nintendo today. GameIndustry BIZ tells it like it is, or might be: “It’s hard to say in the future if we will ever bring back the Game Boy trademark,” he told GameDaily BIZ. Harrison also informed us that Nintendo’s WiiWare service could actually still launch this year. When the announcement was first made, Nintendo made it seem like we wouldn...
Playing Game Boy helps you lose weight
My posse in the Infendo Forums already know this, but I’ve been losing weight on WeightWatchers for about a year now. Yesterday I was reading an article about curbing the munchies when I spotted this tip: Pick up a Game Boy: Playing a handheld video game can squash a food craving, says Cynthia Sass, RD, a Tampa nutritionist and spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association. “When ...
Game Boy Advance, we hardly knew you
Today Modojo gives the Game Boy Advance a final final send off, proper like: The Game Boy Advance is now busy getting itself comfortable in its coffin. A look at the forthcoming release schedule isn’t a pretty sight. There are a couple of movie tie-ins and a quiz show, with very little on the horizon. There have been some excellent releases in the last year in Japan, with Mother 3 and Rhythm...
