CNN reported yesterday that the new Gameboy player will be shipping at the end of 2005. Read the whole column here.

"We believe it is likely that the next version of the Game Boy Advance SP will ship as early as this holiday, ahead of most expectations of calendar year 2006," wrote P.J. McNealy of American Technology Research.

My memory may be faulty, but I'm fairly positive that this is the same nutcase that said the PSP would ship in mid 2004 for $500. I wouldn't exactly take anything he says seriously. Really, it doesn't make any sense to have the thing released so early.

I think they need more stuff on the DS before they release a new gameboy. I mean come on.

I think they ought to hold off on the next GB until they're sure that the DS is flopping...

Ditto. I mean, c'mon. Didn't they learn their lesson with the Virtual Boy (sadly enough, there are forum members here who are young enough to cock their heads in confusion and mumble "Virtual Boy? What Dat?"> ? Haven't they figured out that gamers don't want innovation in a handheld system? I don't want a touch screen below my game screen dammit- I just wanna play fuggin Kid Icarus with 64-bit graphics! Is that too much to ask Nintendo? Huh?

Well they say in the column the the DS is aimed more for the "older folk" and the GBA is for the "young folk". I'm an old folk and I want a GBA. Guess I'm young at heart.^^

Well I would like to see more stuff on the DS come out. But I mean they sprang up with the DS pretty fast. They should waited for more game supply to back it up. I think the concept for the DS is odd because people never desined games like this before and unless they are crerative enough to come up with good things for it then it will go bad. People are treating it like a Gameboy. Untill it stops being treated like that that's what it's going be like. For instance, FF 3 is comeing out for the DS. Now the FF 3 dosen't need to be on the DS. Now going with what I've heared. FF3 was never realsed in America and was a long time ago in Japan. Therefore it does not need two screens, a touch screen, wireless, and a microphone. The graphics are a good update, and the sound. But it's not supossed to be for a DS. The DS neededs as many games as it can get. I thinks that's why popular titles are being realeased for it. (i.e: Mario, Sonic, Final Fansty) I am happy that there are new games that have new concepts to playing. I think that the DS has a chance of surviveing.

The new gameboy. Well now we have even more things to spend our money on.

Hmm, well first off, the DS is NOT flopping, and most if not all games don't need the touch screen. Sometimes I ignore it totally. Plus, they expect to release tons of games this March, and with sales so high, I don't see the system flopping. This GBA sounds like just a remake of the SP, but hey, who knows?

RedScar · 03-02-2005, 10:58 PM

The DS has great potentl(po-10-shul). I think that if they utlize this it'll work. After all. I do mean to say I like that there will be games where we only have on screen. I want that. I just think It will be nce to have it for both systems. The DS and the new Gameboy. I want to see how all the new games turn out.

Psrdirector · 03-02-2005, 11:01 PM

the ds is not the next game boy. they are going to continue the game boy line uninterupted. this year may be early. but i knew they were plaing it for 06
