Should Nintendo make an Anniversary Edition Gameboy?

Hey guys, anyways I was just playing around w/ my old Gameboy color and thought "Why did they discontinue this series?" I though the Gameboy and basically all the other Gameboys were very cool so, why not make an anniversary Gameboy? I remember the Gameboy was originally released in 1989 so why not make a 2014 "25th Anniversary" Gameboy? I think a newer Gameboy with a front/backlight would be very successful considering its popularity still to this day. Something with still the basic "A", "B", Directional Pad, "Start", and "Select" buttons, nothing too fancy and maybe just a cool design in a few colors. I think if they did that and brought back like the "Top 25 Sold Gameboy/Color/Advance Games" it would be a huge hit. But that's just me, what do you guys think? Would it be one of Nintendo's big hits or a total bust?

    I'd buy it since the Gameboy Colour was my first handheld gaming system.

    I'm not sure it would sell well since gamers like online-connectivity and touch controls (at least some gamers anyway). But it could as well.

    Maybe if it looked like the Gameboy Colour but had the graphics, RAM, gameplay and controls of the most current handheld consoles while selling the best selling 30 games or so, it could work? It would be cool, that's for sure.
