its like 300$ and the games are like 40$. I don't think I'll be getting that. unless they somehow get a GRET game ported to it which I highly doubt. oh and they say its for an "older audience" unlike the GBA.

I would never get it. Games for things like that that aren't made only for games usually suck. Besides, a lot of the games it has I could get for systems I already have and a better version too. As for the cell phone part, I barely ever use them.

Okay, for one thing I hate sell phones. Another thing, I hate that marketing guy who said "Noone under twelve likes being seen in public with a GBA, this should appeal to older more mature adiences who are so much more cooler than those dumb stupid faggy gay fags who use GBAs *does gigantic rasberry*" I'm not sure if thats exactly what he said but you get the idea. I hate paying over twice as much for some crappy cell phone than I would for a Gamecube. Also Gabe from penny-arcade said both the controls and the games sucked, and its hard to use as a cell phone. Um yeah. I dont think I'll get one.

The problem with that is it would have to be huge. N64 games are like the same size of a normal GBA. Unless you want to buy all your old N64 games over again. I didn't think n64 games were that great neway. Aside from OB64 and the first party titles. Give it internal memory, and have it be packaged with a machine where you plug in in an N64 cartridge, then save the game as data, then send it into the the GameBoy64. Or alternatively, (and most likely more effective)m have a similar machine burn the game data onto half size CD-ROMs. |

I remember thinking of a huge problem with gameboy CD roms a few days ago, but I cant remember what it is. I'll just go with "Wouldn't having a CD drive make the next gameboy huge compared to the other ones (except the originqal maybe)". I'll get back to you if I remember.

You know, those half size CDs, only a special kind that can hold more memory. By the way, this is what Sony plans to use on it's handheld. |

Well, consider that even the mini CD-ROMS hold 185 MB of hard disk ROM space, compared to the current GBA cartridge which holds, what, maybe 40 MB? In any case, whether it's a Mini CD-ROM, a MiniDisc, a Mini DVD-ROM (currently used by Gamecube) or even just a 96 MB N64 cartridge, they are all improvements that Nintendo SHOULD consider (although I doubt they will ever get their act together...). |

Does EB still have that trade in your GBA and get an SP for a lower price deal? I didn't see anything about it when I went to EB 2 days ago..

I'm a complete Nintendo fan. Though their products aren't super quality or have gret features, but because they have the best games. I'd go for Animal Crossing before Halo any day.

Really? ?? ?? I played AC for awhile, and was hooked, but then it got lame. Halo is Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than AC. |
