Nintendo has today made the first official announcement regarding its intriguing GameCube Game Boy Player, the little device upon which sits your GameCube, and plays GBA, Game Boy Color and original Game Boy games through your TV.
“For several years, the video game industry has been pushing forward to new technical frontiers . . . while at the same time celebrating classic hit games of the past," says Peter MacDougall, executive vice president, sales and marketing, Nintendo of America Inc. "This new Game Boy Player actually fulfils both desires: it instantly makes your current favourite Game Boy Advance game larger-than-life, and at the same time allows you to see your favourite portable title from a decade ago in an entirely new way.”
Having sold an incredible half a billion software units since its inception in 1989, Nintendo’s handheld gaming story is one of success and acceptance across the board.
Most interestingly, Nintendo has stated that the machine will debut in the US in May, the same time as it does in Japan. Perhaps this spells a global roll-out with Europe in on the party too?
Whatever happens, we’ll keep you updated.
