No more Game Boy

Last week in our podcast, we discussed the future of the Game Boy and the role it plays as one of Nintendo's pillars. It seems that some of us were correct in guessing that there would not be future Game Boy and that the only two systems that we will see are Wii and DS. Iwata seems to have confirmed these feelings when he was asked about the Game Boy and responded by saying, "I would have a second thought about using our resources on what would be the next generation of Game Boy Advance, considering the strong support DS is now enjoying," Iwata said. "The Japanese game market is now evolving around DS. We don't need to do something that will pour cold water on the situation." Although this isn't really a surprise, it is a little dissapointing, but I guess two systems are enough anyway.
