Yeah, least they could do is offer a temporary price cut for Eshop Gameboy games for 3DS, or something. (Though, I guess they already are pretty cheap seeing how they cost less then the NES games.)  
Or do something to give the Gameboy some love this year.
 
Would be cool if they let some other company, make a cheaper playable replica of the old Gameboy or Gameboy Pocket with several games preloaded on it, like Sega did the Game Gear, as I said.  
Nintendo did let Tiger, and some other company recreate their Game & Watch games as officially-licensed “Nintendo Mini-Classics” keychains before.  
(I have the “Super Mario Bros.” one, even the clock, and alarm functions still work on the keychain versions, but it needs a new battery now.)  
A relative of mine lost my old Gameboy years ago, so admittedly I miss staring into that green LCD screen.

That seems a shame. I had fond memories of the game boy. Still remember my old pocket model that could last a days straight on two aaa batteries, or the first gba. If only Gunpei Yokoi could see us now.

BTW I hear it’s the 25th anniversary of the Gameboy this year. (Surprised Nintendo’s not regarding it like the Famicon & “Year of Luigi” anniversaries last year.)

@Beau Skunky  
Yeah, it was better, though I imagine it still required frequent charges. They didn’t have any of those around the time I got mine. Guess Majesco wasn’t as interested in making accessories.

@YukoAsho  
Yeah, I heard the Game Gear was better if you bought that rechargeable battery pack AC adapter for it. The Gameboy had one to, but I never got one, sense I didn’t understand what it did.

@Beau Skunky  
There is that Master System/Game Gear AtGames clone, but other than that, not really. Master System and Game Gear aren’t exactly big names.
 
And yep, the GG took 6 AAs, three at each side grip of the machine. Battery life SUCKED. It just wasn’t that portable.

@YukoAsho  
Six batteries?! Geeze… They could’ve at least tried to make it use fewer. I mean the Gameboy Color & GBAdvance only used 2 AA batteries each.
 
Didn’t they release a few cheaper Game Gear-like systems with games already pre-loaded into them in the past 15 years?

@Beau Skunky  
You’re not lying about the battery life. I actually got the Majesco Game Gear around 2000, which is supposed to have “improved” battery life, and that thing still couldn’t last more than like 5 hours off 6 AA batteries.

@MGB_GT  
Yeah, the low-tech ironically helped it have a much better battery life then the rival systems.
 
Y’know, even with the lack of color, and such, some Gameboy games actually had very good graphics. “Link’s Awakening”‘s graphics looked like an 8-bit version of the SNES game. The Gameboy Camera had some of the best drawn menu screens I’ve seen for an 8-bit game to.

@Beau Skunky
 
Its primitive tech also allowed to beat colour screen models by Sega and atari as well, game library was better too. I still have super Mario land somewhere, that and links awakening.

@Beatfox  
All I remember about it, is that image. lol

Anyone remember Loony Luna?  
 
_{…or did we all try to forget?}

Y’know, the green-screened Gameboy may be primitive to modern younger gamers, but back in the day, that was like being able to carry an entire video game console with you wherever you wanted to go, so it was awesome for it’s day.
 
In fact, it still is awesome, I say. (I even got some B&W Gameboy games on my 3DS via Virtual Console.)
