Looks pretty cool. Let's hope it's major step above the graphics capability of GBA.

Why is that? I'm no Nintendo fanboy, I'm just curious.

keep on making bad choices.... first one was canceling the super nintendo cd(kinda like sega cd), it was a joint project between sony and nintendo. sony got mad and made their own system(playstation) haha real smart by nintendo. n64 was doomed from the start, refused to use a cd based system instead using cartirdges. that worked out great didnt it and then you got the gamecube, refuse to use a standard dvd. not that you cant only play your dvd's on the system the discs hold way less info. the games make the system. because of their mac type of mentality, the games have sucked the past 2 systems and so has the actual systems. just wondering when the floor is gonna fall out, that's all. i dont have much to say on this at all

You're right, they are hell-bent on using proprietary media. I can understand this from a business perspective but it's the gamers who are made to suffer. They'd rather charge a 3rd party developer for licensing as well as force them to buy the actual game medium. I have to admit that it's a shrewd, yet lucrative tactic. Let's face it though, Nintendo wouldn't be where it is today without that ******* Pokemon thing.

did you say pokemon yup without the gameboy and pokemon holdin' em together sega would have outlasted nintendo. nintendo insists on being mac of home systems, why do you think x box and ps2 selection of games are 100 times better.

but we'll see how this one goes, they do allright in the handheld area of things. but then again

why cant the just use cf or sd? and nokia pretty much has flopped on their face with the wireless gaming thing. i think the best shot anybody has at wireless gaming is wi fi, most cell phones have it and most new business's are installing em. not this you can only play these games on a certain carrier crap.
