The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
Has anybody else read this? It's in a magazine that came with the mail on sunday, the magazine is called Night & Day.
It has a 4 page review but 2 of the pages are full with pictures. It has alot of info and has some ratings on 6 of the games. It also mentions the PSP as its going to be the first real contender in 15 years, but they say how the DS will have the advantage as its out eailier and it has the GBA port abbility.
So anybody read it?

As far as I know it's GB, GBP (Pocket), GBA, GBASP, GB2, DS.
Nintendo especially said that the DS is NOT A REPLACEMENT for the GameBoy, that is what the GB2 will do when they feel like they are ready to divulge their well hidden information.

Nintendo will try to run the DS as a "unique product" something the Gameboy is not.

NES emulation was possible on the GBA, so I'm sure GBC emulation on the DS is possible.
It just depends whether any company would see if as financially beneficial to release any device.

I don't think it's as easy as that.. there was some specific chip in the GBA which allowed it to play earlier games which the DS lacks. And to be honest, I can't see many people bothered.
Why dump your old GameBoys/Advances?

Weel seems as though this has been wrapped up into a neat little package then.
PS. Game and Watch rules!

I think that the GBA2 was plan B.
And seeing as plan A is looking like it'll work then perhaps it's:
GB, GBC, GBA, GBDS.
If there is another Gameboy, it won't have Advance in it.

Guh.
This may be the crappiest thing to argue about ever.

Which is exactly the same thing, with a little more imagination.

No, it's GB, GBC, GBA, GBA2
And DS on the side.

I did see Ninty-related stuff splashed across the front of the mag when I was scanning it through today. Then I turned over, saw it was the Mail, and spat in the face of who was buying it.
