Nintendo announces Game Boy 2

[08.27.99] » Next generation portable hardware revealed.

   One surprise announcement at this year's Space World show was Nintendo's next-generation portable hardware, the Game Boy 2. Very few details were released, but it is known that the 32-Bit portable will be compatible with Nintendo's cellular phone communication adaptor. The system is also purported to have four times the power of the current Game Boy Color.

   The GIA will go out on a limb and predict a Pokémon title will eventually be released for the system. Perhaps. No price point or launch date has been announced, but more details are expected soon.
