More nostalgia: Game Boy Classic could be Nintendo's next retro console

Nintendo is doing very well with its commitment to nostalgia, and both the NES Classic and SNES Classic have become two of the company's flagship products as soon as they are released.

Nintendo's love affair with its retro consoles may not have ended there, because a new trademark of the Japanese company suggests that the next console to be adapted to the new times will be a hypothetical Game Boy Classic.

A portable rear console poses additional challenges

A Twitter bot called @trademark_bot notified the registration of that trademark, which took place on September 15 and referred to "programs for a home gaming machine".

That record also includes the image of the original Game Boy that was first released in 1989, which makes one think of the launch of a Classic version of the original model. Nintendo proceeded in the same way in its two current retro consoles, registering the mark months before they appeared on the market.

It will be interesting to see what format this hypothetical console would adopt, especially considering that the approach is different as it is a portable model that at least originally had a 47x43 mm screen with a resolution of 160 x 144 pixels. That could make this product more expensive, which would no doubt follow the same philosophy and approach of emulation and execution of a small selection from the Game Boy's video game catalogue.
