Like I said, the Game Boy fans will never stop liking it, but trust me: That guy who buys new portable systems basically as a fashion statement (about 55% of the gaming populace right there)? To them, dead. And to everyone else, dying. I still love the Game Boy, but until Nintendo revives it, it's basically a paperweight if you expect new or good games.

Nerds have fashion statements? Isn't that an oxymoron or something?

Anywho probably the only way to revive the series is to make portable systems play the actual console games.

If their for playing games on the go, shouldn't they be able to play the console games too?

but isnt that the point of a portable gaming system to play portable games, instead of a home entertainment system which plays games at.... home?

Game Boys are abiotic factors and are never alive. You all lose.

Hand helds would sell a lot better if they could play console games.

Do you not see the logic in this?

No. The Sega Nomad sold horribly.

So? The Nomad rawked! I carry one around with me, along with a few Genesis games, whenever I go somewhere (if I'm not playing a DS game).

The Chef · « **Reply #52 on:** July 25, 2006, 06:49:41 PM »

What bothers me is the fact that it sold horribly even though it is quite useful.

Well, Sega has a long line of systems that arn't exactly the most popular...

SG-1000
SC-3000
Master System
Sega Game Gear
Sega Nomad
Dreamcast
Saturn

To name a few

I inserted a mice brain and lungs into my Game Boy. So at least mines alive.

Well, the gameboy isn't completely dead yet, steller titles such as Mega Man Battle Network 6,Summon Night:Swordcraft Story and Drill Dozer give the gba the sales it needs to survive.But Drill Dozer didn't do very well in sales. Plus, nintendo isn't giving strong support for the gba anymore. But seeing the continuing third party support, we can easily assume game boy still has a long life-span ahead of it.

Actually, Jeevan, you can't post new topic from the getgo-you have to post some posts before you can post topics.

Also, this topic is to discuss the current activity of the gba, not about your gba.

Just thought you would like to hear that insight.=)

Edit:Sorry if I sounded like a mini-mod
