Time for Mole Mania to get the shine it deserves
Yeah, I have to agree.
Now a DS Classic on the other hand could have a good 50 games

... shit, you might be right. I mean, there are some other good games, but most of the cool Game Boy stuff I can think of now are mainly GBColor or GBA. It'd be nice to get a sweet GBA Mini with games released on GB/GBC/GBA.

A Gameboy Classic with a backlit screen and built in games would be a day one purchase for me. As much as I loved the ideas behind the NES/SNES Classic, I didn't want to devote space in my entertainment center to them. A portable on the other hand would be an absolute no-brainer.
Please Nintendo!

Never owned one as I betrayed the Nintendo family and asked for a Game Gear instead as a kid.
Day one.
Day one.
There's a reason why NES and SNES Classic sold despite those games already being widely accessible.
This would be a big deal. A new Game Boy with the original GB/GBC design would set the mainstream on fire.

Please include Phantasy Star Card Battle.
It'll never happen, but please do it anyway.
Edit - ug...read the title as Gamecube. Nevermind.

I never owned a gameboy. Would buy
Yes, making money is always a terrible idea.

Tetris + quality backlit screen and I'm in.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
This right here. A GB-only would be nothing desirable. Include the others and it would be great.
Why would you skip over the superior system?

Between physical gameboy carts and Nintendo 3DS virtual console I own basically every gameboy cart I would possibly want.
SML1,2&3
Links awakening
Metroid 2
Square title (if just 1 then likely FFL3, if two add FFA)
Capcom title (mega man 5 or there would be hell to pay)
Konami title (castlevania legends just as an F-u to the cart price)
Donkey Kong
Donkey Kong land
Pokémon. (Though how I have no clue)
Now, throw in GBC and then we talk.
Opens up to include:
Zelda: oracle series
Metroid 2s GBC release that never happened...
Crystalis
Dragon warrior (any of the three gameboy releases)
Shantae (niche, but way forward and capcom would play ball)
There just arent that many first party titles to really get the game count up there.

Your vision is clouded with the thickest fog of rose tint the world has ever seen if you really believe that. But we both know you are posting in jest, because we both know the GBA also plays GB games.
NES Classic, SNES Classic and GB Classic Cartridge Edition.
You get me

Would need to have a color backlit screen to consider this. Also, outside of a few titles I enjoyed on the system it didn't have much that appealed to me.
But I cant put it in my pocket

Day 1 as long as its backlit and comes with Links Awakening DX.

Super game boy mode built in or dont even bother
you're supposed to wear it around your neck so everyone knows that you are a person who enjoys the finer things in life!
Wouldn't be surprised if we ended up with only 15 or even 10 games. Probably lower price than NES and SNES.
Tetris (the cornerstone game in the public eye)
DK94
A Donkey Kong Land game
A Mario Land game (I'm hoping for ML2)
A Pokemon game
Link's Awakening
One of those Kirby games
Mole Mania
Dr. Mario
A Wario Land game
Yoshi
Metroid II
No idea what else. I'd hope for Metal Gear but I'm not holding my breath.
GBA isn't nearly as iconic to the mainstream consumer Nintendo has been selling these things to. I'm not even sure there are that many GBA games that enjoy iconic mainstream status that aren't just SNES ports.

For about the same money I'd rather buy a Gameboy themed 2DS with some bundled games.
Part of the appeal of this for the mainstream would be the original Game Boy form factor, so throwing GBA in there would be odd. Plus you'd miss out on a ton of great games. I'd rather see GBA get its own separate system later.

And even i am moderately surprised
what if ....
.... it's just a portable slim retro machine that plays GB/NES/SNES that has Gameboy stylings ? :O
Stick 4 buttons on that sucker, make various different design models, give 20-30 games away on each model and change the rom set per machine so people buy multiple units.

Because much like the SNES classic model being different to match the US/EU market, if you're going to sell on nostalgia detail matters. It needs to look like a GameBoy, not a knock-off rom dump with extra buttons.

I'm with the people saying it should include GB, GBC, and GBA games. That would be sweeeeeeet.
DCharlie
And even i am moderately surprised
but ultimately.... that's what it is going to be lol
as per the 3DS SNES themed unit , it can be done.
if they make a honest to god Gameboy Lite style machine i'd applaud it but the irony will be that the yellowy-white and black LCD will be a full color display, so why not look at other angles?

I think it'd be pretty sweet to have a dedicated system the shape and size of the Game Boy Pocket that's pre-loaded with 30-40 of the best GB/GBC games that you can play either in B&W, Color, or with that really "green" sort of color of the very original Gameboy.
With something like this, it's just as much about the "experience" as it is the "convenience" so I'm not thinking they'll release some tiny thing like the GBA Micro. Replicating the feel of a GB is important, just like with the NES and SNES controllers that come with those systems. The smallest they should go is something the size of an iPhone 4.

Guys, let's try and guess how long the battery life for a device that only has to play GB games will be. Do we know if it'll have updated versions with online play or anything like that (akin to the rereleased Pokemon games on VC) or even have wifi?
