Game Boy inducted into toy Hall of Fame
It’s always an honor when a great athlete gets inducted in a Hall of Fame — earlier this year for instance, Micheal Jordan was inducted into the NBA hall of fame, and now, more importantly to us gamers, Nintendo’s original Game Boy has been inducted into the Toy Hall of Fame, specifically, the Strong National Museum of Play’s Toy Hall of Fame.
The original 8-bit Game Boy was released in 1989, and its subsequent variations, have sold over 120 million units world wide since then, with the best game being Tetris, selling a whopping 33 million copies.
Congratulations, Nintendo!
Nintnedo announces PokePark Wii: Pikachu’s Big Adventure
Nintendo has today come forth to announce PokePark Wii: Pikachu’s Big Adventure, a Wii title developed by Creatures Inc.. If you’re a gamer, you’ll undoubtedly recognize Creatures Inc. as the creators of the megapopular Gameboy Pokemon titles.
But anyways, PokePark Wii won’t be fashioned after the Gameboy games but instead will star Pikachu as he works with other Pokemon to complete mini games and the like. Yes, more mini games for the Wii but this one is with Pokemon so it’s sure to sell like hot cakes.
PokePark Wii: Pikachu’s Big Adventure will hit store shelves in Japan on December 5th for around $53.
