Will Nintendo discontinue the Game Boy?

Modojo claims that Nintendo has quietly killed off the Game Boy line in favor of supporting the stellar and hot-selling DS. From the article: “While some might say that Nintendo supported their three pillar strategy – I believe otherwise. When it was announced that the Nintendo DS was going to be a portable gaming device that not only played Nintendo DS games, but GBA games as well, it...

Built to last: Original Game Boy survives Gulf War

Flickr user oceanpark claims the above Game Boy was damaged in the Gulf War and still plays Tetris. Amazing. [Update: Whoops! Someone tell Blake there is this cool company that makes elf-like and plumber games that are really fun. I guess you can’t know everything about Nintendo, although I’ve been to Nintendo World Store and lived online for the past 10 years, this one must have slipp...

Wii for $200 and Game Boy to live on?

In an interview with GameDaily at this year’s E3, Nintendo President Satoru Iwata had this to say about Wii’s launch price: “What we’ve been repeatedly saying is that it’s going to be an affordable price point, and when we say affordable, you may want to check our past records of price points, launching price points for any past [Nintendo home console] hardware…...

Nintendo Releases Pink Game Boy Advance SP

At the end of the month Nintendo is slated to release a ton of non-games and casual games that are intended to appeal to their growing audience of both older gamers and also female gamers. None of these games, however, are playable on the new dusty pink GBA SP. Why? Because they’re all for the DS. Believe me, I am more than glad that Nintendo is deciding to release their systems in pink (DS ...

You saw it here first! The Game Boy Nano

I can assure you 100% that this mock-up will be posted on Infendo before anywhere else, because I just finished making it! Everything but the base of the unit (which I stole from an iPod Nano picture), is completely digitally fabricated, so don’t even try to pass this around as a real photo or schematic.

From the article: “[The GBA] has been capable of playing movies with the GBA Movie Player for some time. However, it often requires a lot of technical knowledge, and extra hardware. But Majesco now also provides full-length movies on the GBA, and it doesn’t requir...

The Genius behind the Game Boy Micro

Launch a redesign (micro) of an already great portable system (advance SP) right on the heals of your competitor’s far more powerful system release (PSP). This was a gutsy and very tactful move by Nintendo. Chutzpah! Have you seen the blogs and media outlets today? They are all talking about the GameBoy micro (you’d think the thing was an iPod mini or something). Gadget geeks already w...

Gameboy Micro: A Fan’s Wish

Sometimes we receive fan mail that deserves a post of its own, and when I saw this submission from Christian Mills, I found that it was worth sharing. Much like him, I laughed at the Gameboy Micro when it hit the shelves.  Now, as I build my gaming/console collection, I must admit that I forgot all about the little slice of Nintendo History.  Not only has Christian reminded me of the pocket sized ...
