It's still a gameboy, just not in name. (It can play GBA games, but not older Gameboy Color or Gameboy games.) Nintendo's trying really hard to market to older gamers because they have to position themselves in front of Sony's upcoming PSP. I think the launch lineup of games sucks, but I would like to see the Metroid game kick some arse.
