Has anybody else read this? It's in a magazine that came with the mail on sunday, the magazine is called Night & Day.

It has a 4 page review but 2 of the pages are full with pictures. It has alot of info and has some ratings on 6 of the games. It also mentions the PSP as its going to be the first real contender in 15 years, but they say how the DS will have the advantage as its out eailier and it has the GBA port abbility.

So anybody read it?

It's not Gameboy.

You have to remember that Nintendo aren't Sony. They won't go PS, PS2, PS3 etc. etc. etc.

They'll go SNES, N64, Cube.

In this case it's GB, GBC, GBA, DS.

It is NOT Gameboy 2. It bares more resemblance to Game & Watch.

And now I've lost control of my fingers/mind.

True - But I don't see it as a Game Boy.

It's a unique handheld.

Though if subtitling it Game Boy helps sales-wise then I'm happy for it to be called Game Boy by the public.

It is the biggest upgrade in Nintendo handhelds since...

Ever.

Surely the Game Boy Color is the Game Boy 2 - that's if you exclude the special editions like the Game Girl, Game Boy Light and Game Boy Pocket...

Yeah thats the first thing I noticed about it to, and had a whinge at my old man who didn't understand why I was complaining.
