Forums - Nintendo - Ever wonder why Nintendo made so many Game Boys?

Game Boys include GB Color, GB Advance, GB SP and so on (I believe to 9). Major console in the past and the best handheld seller so far.

Err...

Okay.



Coherent posts please OP. Even if the grammar is terrible and riddled with spelling errors, post needs to be understable, yours is not.



There are
Original Gameboy
Gameboy Pocket
Gameboy Lite (JP only)
Gameboy Color*
Gameboy Advance*
Gameboy Advance SP

Both Color and Advance had software upgrades as well. So really, is this one handheld series or three with backward compatibility?

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

So many updates to Gameboys. Just little things like light and weight reduction.

I dont know... earn more money I guess.



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

OK, maybe GBC is really just a color upgrade to the Original GB, but GBA is definitely a new system.



Currently playing: NSMB (Wii) 

Waiting for: Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Wii), The Last Story (Wii), Golden Sun (DS), Portal 2 (Wii? or OSX), Metroid: Other M (Wii), 
... and of course Zelda (Wii) 

The Gameboy and Gameboy Advanced are two different game systems. Here are the main models for each.

The rEVOLution is not being televised

I'm guessing it was a good brand name all over the world?
