Do you think a company is desperate when it goes retro with its products?

Japanese gaming giant Nintendo has gone retro with a classic version of its 15-year-old Game Boy machine and a collection of original Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) titles from the mid-'80s. The Classic NES Limited Edition Game Boy Advance SP ($100) resembles the first television console game launched in the United States by Nintendo in 1985. The company quickly rose to success with games such as 'The Legend of Zelda,' 'Donkey Kong' and 'Super Mario Brothers.' Designed to strike a nostalgic chord with 30- and 40-somethings, this new Game Boy looks similar to the NES machine with its black and gray colors and two bright red A and B buttons to control the action. The font used for the words 'Start' and 'Select,' above their respective buttons, is also the same used for the original NES. This portable Game Boy Advance SP is a 32-bit machine, compared with the NES, which was an eight-bit television console. The 'Classic NES' Game Boy is bundled with a rechargeable battery and AC adapter. It can play all existing Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance titles.
