Title: Nintendo tries a new idea...
Post by: on January 07, 2003, 06:23:53 PM
I figured I\'d post it in here to get more attention, and rather not become a flame war.

Apparently nintendo is trying something a bit new. Looks great IMO

Very cool. Post your opinions, and If you must move the thread into the correct forum.

Looks very nice.  I\'m not a GBA kind of gy, but I figure in a couple years I\'ll be having to buy the next gen for the Logster.

Vid can you adopt me? I don\'t eat much, and I\'m a good cook. I get good grades and I can even bring home some high school girls when you get bored with the wife.

This news has actually been in the CD forum for a while now but none the less this is very exciting news.

This is a must buy for me.

more portabily (smaller)
same screen size
Lit up screen (clincher)
Goes on sale March 23 (gives me time to save some money, hehe)

Ahh, gotta love Nintendo -- always thinking. I\'m certianly hoping that this is not the "Mega Announcement" that they were talking about, however. If this was it, then they gave the idea too much credit, and again, built their fans\' hopes up way too high.

It looks kick ass, however, but I don\'t think I\'ll be getting one. March 23rd...2 months before B-day, I\'ll ask for Money, but I\'ll be getting a Playstation 2 most likely. Hopefully the price drops again...I want in a Madden League, and when I do get this capability, I WANT THE CHIEFS!

See Yuz.

Nintendo were never talking about a "Mega" Announcment, Jamas.

A new idea... for Nintendo perhaps.  They should have included backlighting years ago.  They are only 7 years behind Sega.

OOOOOOOOOOO. Me likey! I haven\'t bought a Gameboy since the very first few months the first one came out. This one looks awesome, love the backlights, rechargable batteries, and the design. Hopefully I can save up a 100 bucks for this.

I can see little kiddies snapping that screen off pretty easily.

Looks quite slick... But as I already own a GameBoy and hardly play the thing, I will not buy it - at least not in a while.

Not really. The only reason Nintendo didn\'t go backlit was because they couldn\'t get a decent time until the batteries drained out. GameGear required SIX batteries and only lasted 3-5 hours. That\'s simply atrocious. This little wonder from Nintendo last ten with 2 batteries. 7 years beyind?Nope.

Might get one.. But Ill wait for the price to come down, and I want to see if the Sony rumours are true (check the main forum).

yeah bob, on 6 batteries, 3 times that of Gameboy\'s, it lasted a third of the time the Gameboy did...  Nintendo was much smarter in providing longer lasting batteries.  Plus the backlit screen is able to be turned on and off.
