Nintendo hints at end of Game Boy name, possible WiiWare in 2007

Filed under: Gaming

While it would have been virtually unthinkable just a few years ago, Nintendo is apparently now contemplating the possibility of a world without Game Boys. That’s according to Nintendo marketing exec George Harrison, who recently told GameDaily.biz that we may have seen the last of the name, specifically saying that “it’s hard to say in the future if we will ever bring back the Game Boy trademark.” In other, less heartbreaking news, Nintendo’s homebrew-happy WiiWare service appears to be progressing nicely, with Harrison also letting out word that “it may not take until 2008″ for it to make its public debut. A firmer date will apparently depend on how quickly developers can get their act together.
