They tried to claim that they weren’t ending the game boy line…welp. Still waiting on that Game Boy Advance sucsessor any day now…

We all know the DS was the next Game Boy. WHY DIDN’T THEY JUST CALL IT THAT??? The original ones even played GBA, GBC, and GB games for fucks sake!

The DS WAS a Game Boy. That’s it. That’s the end of the story.

    This is incorrect. The original DS could not play GB or GBC games. It could only play GBA games. Also, the last system with Game Boy in the name was the Game Boy Micro, which was released after the DS. I don’t think it’s deserving of the name Game Boy either though since every other system with that name could play original GB games.

    Seeing how the Wii U failed, partially cause people thought it was just a Wii. They probably made the right call.
