I have a small question. Does the UK gameboy color have color spelled as "colour" or as "color"?

Nope. In fact, I read a letter in Nintendo Power about the same question (UK reader wondering why it wasn't spelled "colour" instead of "color"), and they said that it was called "Game Boy Color" everywhere it's been sold, instead of what it would be called in their native language.

Well "colour" is the REAL english way to spell things....so if anything - it should have been spelled "colour" wherever it was sold
Silly nintendo - americans didn't invent the english language LOL

We just perfected, diversified, and evolved it! Dropping unnecessary "e"s, for instance!
"Olde Tyme Soda Shoppe"
Or is it "fizzy pop"?

*notices a few Brits have looked up from their sitcoms to complain about English bastardization of the language*

American speaking to my cousin, on holiday in the US: "Hey, are you from Europe?"
My cousin: "Yeah, from the UK"
American: "Say, you speak really good English!"
True story. LOL

That is stupidest thing I have ever heard. I can't believe someone said that.

i blame Gameboy color for a fall in english grades in class years ago, after writing colour without the "u" so many times....
Same for Program/Programme
