Finally! Something original. Although many of you may think that mobile phones will never host games as good as those as the gameboy advance, I beg to differ. Take the new iMode phones for example. These are basically good WAP phones, with large, colour screens. In order to produce good games on these, the phone developers (such as Sony and Motorola) have done 2 things:
1) Get companies like Sega and Namco to make games. Akready Sonic and Pacman are available. Imagine 4 player bomerman over a phone in the future. And unlike the GBA, there is no need to add a modem type device- it's already on a phone!
2) Give development kits out for free. This increases the interest of developers, and will make sure there are far more games on offer than would otherwise be possible- I might even make a few by myself :). These games can be downloaded onto the phone using the web surfing ability on them.
Oh, and unlike WAP, these phones can view any website... I doubt they support Flash or other like programs, but who knows!
Finally, there is a typr of convergence happing with phones. Already phones with MP3 players are coming out... maybe in the future will will buy a Gameboy Future, that acts as a phone, plays MP3s and surf the web!
