Good. I've always thought the Game Boy was quite possibly the worst name ever for a game system. And it would basically kill the DS if they brought the Game Boy back now. I still think we'll see an iPod-like Game Boy somewhere down the line though, with download-only games and everything.

What was the last thing that had the Game Boy name on it? The Micro or the SP?

I need to track one of those down still. They're really probably not worth it now. They are just waaay too small for my tastes. I would like to have one for the collection though.

I love the Micro. It's great for just a quick something on the go or at work.

I came really close to buying one just so I could play River City Ransom incognito in public, but the DS had just come out and I already had three GBAs, not counting my Game Boy Player. And it just looked so goddamn small.

The micros are dirt cheap now. Brand new, if you are lucky enough to find one in a store, they are only 50 bucks.

That's not bad at all. It doesn't play old Game Boy games though, right?

Yeah, if it did, you couldn't use the damn thing with the game sticking out from the bottom like that.

The Gameboy name alienates female consumers, who make up a huge portion of the DS' audience. I'll miss it myself, but I understand why they would change direction.

I still think they could've gotten away with a Game Girl. At least it would've been a platform to keep all those shitty Olsen Twin games at bay.

Well, if I want to play original Game Boy games, I can play them on the orginal toaster GB like God intended.

I play them on my Game Boy Player through my GameCube. They look like shit, but dammit if the Game Boy version of Street Fighter II ain't adorable in 27 glorious inches.

I almost thought that was an Americanized bastardization of Samus .

Lots of pics of his girlfriend/wife eating, and a couple where he tried to take group shots of people with it.

I have just recently got a NES Gameboy brand new boxed with PacMan. I have also got BomberMan, Ice Climber & Donkey Kong on the way. I really hope they bring out just one last GameBoy for a 'true' send off.
