Most of us grew up as gamers.And i bet that our first or one of our first experiences was in a black and white screen of a gameboy.There's the color and advance generations too that were truly great systems that made the handheld market what it is today.So many memories and a big crowd of people that have become gamers thanks to these little consoles.The ds line was pretty inovative too with the first one really grabbing everyone's attention and 3ds having one of the best libraries a dedicated handheld ever had.In the last few years though we see that it's losing popularity due to many reasons,some of them being the too many models,the market saturation,the prize of the games compared to mobile,the rise of mobile games and etc.So do you believe that if Nintendo revives the game boy brand we could see a turnaround for the dedicated handheld systems?Is the game boy brand relative anymore?Is there still tiime for this market or it's really mobile games all the way from now on?In what way could they release a new game boy system for it to be successful?

Sure!



Yes! This is the brand most casuals would know Nintendo by.



They'd probably call it "Gameperson" nowdays.Thats where the world is.

That's a reality for sure.Most people i know don't even name them Nintendo.The brand has a name of it's own.

No, of many of the users Nintendo has picked up since retiring the name, many of them are female. No need to return to such a male centric name.



I'd say yes. The Gameboy brand is more iconic then the DS, although the DS helped bring in new demographics they've all but scattered and now Nintendo are again looking towards the gaming core, Nintendo fans and young kids.



Feminists would go insane if there was a Gameboy but no Gamegirl!



Official member of VGC's Nintendo family, approved by the one and only RolStoppable. I feel honored.

No, because gameBOY sounds like an exclusive brand, only for men. That would make the feminists attack the console and force Nintendo to change the name or go out of the bussiness or something like that.

They could call it the Gamehumanbeing. That would be an appropiate name.
