Handheld gaming is great. Not in the big sense of course, that would defeat the whole idea of portable gaming. But then, portable gaming doesn't have a handle, well, it has the handle 'portable gaming' but that's it. It doesn't have a physical handle.
Unless you count the carry cases that they were giving away free with the gameboy advance, until they didn't give them away free but just with the gameboy advance.
Isn't it interesting how few people have succesfully played a handheld game on their feet, perhaps this is why they are called handheld games and not feetheld games. Although, I'm sure there's a contortionist somewhere that can dispute this factoid.
Radio would not be a good medium for gaming adverts as it doesn't show the games, but then nor do adverts on television, so perhaps radio wouldn't be a bad idea. Just a bit of Robbie Williams, or even Hank Williams, or Hank Marvin for that matter. I liked his little dance routines. Perhaps he could do the dance routine on the radio to promote a games console. But then it would have to be a handheld, so he could hold it, and certainly not a footheld, otherwise he might step on it during his dance routines.
Isn't it amazing how some people have no idea about Nintendo, they are probably the same people that didn't realise that Tetris originated in Russia. These people must be helped, perhaps using a radio advert featuring Hank Marvin, or Lee Marvin, or Lee Majors, but he's an unknown stuntman, so perhaps it might be better to have Robbie Williams promote this.
Perhaps handheld gaming will be the desktop gaming of the future. This might mean that desktop gaming would possibly become the handheld gaming of the future and everyone would have to swap their desks for hands and vice versa.
So in conclusion. yes.
Buy a gameboy advance. You know it makes sense.

I wrote a topic on promotion about 2 months ago.
basically 'promotion is the key to sell a game'
without it the game stands no chance!

I've never tried playing a handheld with my feet, but I can get higher scores than my brother on blastcorps when I play with one hand and a mouth...
Have you ever tried holding the gameboy upside down when you play Tetris? It's really weird.
Radio would be a great way of advertising games. Make someone aware of a game, and you're halfway to selling it.
