Miyamoto: There's Life In The Game Boy Advance

But don't expect Nintendo to produce any games for it

Nintendo guru, Shigeru Miyamoto, thinks that the GameBoy Advance still has some mileage left, despite the fact that Nintendo has shifted its resources elsewhere.

“There are still a lot of games on the platform that the current consumer has not played and so there's still some life in it yet," Miyamoto said in an interview.

“It’s still selling well and so we’re still supplying hardware to the market,” he said, “but our internal development teams have their hands full already with trying to create software for the Wii and DS and so it’s true we’re focused primarily on that and not on creating new software for the GameBoy Advance.”

Notably absent from his comments was the GameCube. At the end of May Chart-Track dropped the 'Cube charts due to the console's lack of sales activity. Nintendo, however, refuses to admit that it no longer supports the platform.

The gameboy has had an awesome time over the years and kept ninty well inpocket, it will be a shame the day they stop production of the gameboy line, and the DS offically takes over, i fear the micro was the last ever ever itteration of the gameboy we have seen :-(, as for life im sure a few film-tie ins might be left but other than tha i cant see its life continuing to much longer....

the gameboy is dead, long live the DS (and the gameboy on virtual console!)

just had a thought how about gameboy games on virtual console that you can wifi to your ds!
