"TV output"

I know portable games console are made to be used on the move but alot of the time their used in the house. Wouldn't it be a great and simple idea of having s-video+Audio output so you can play on a big TV.

Old consoles like the gameboy which would just look ugly on a big screen because the resolution wasn't that sharp but with the GBA being 32bit this would be lovely on a tv and you could use the GBA as the controller and look at the tv.

When you want to use it portable just unplug it.

or is this already on it??

Yep, but now it has gon eto CD they cant do the GB adaptor!

Still... theres not a lot of point in buying Pokemon Stadium without first owning the GB Pokemon...


I'm not saything Nintendo will do anything like this... just that the question is open to speculation...

Well, It's not compulsary! If u have both then u can use these features.,.. if u can';t then u can't!

IT's like King od fighters on the NGCP. I u had a DC, u could use the link to upload characters. IF u didn;t then u still had a great game.

It plugs into the GC now I don't now if this will do what you just said but if it doesn't then I like the idea!

Alternatively, the GBA could act like a VMU... u can change details and tactics in a footie game for example without other people seeing.

There are also the possible GBA games linking with GC games.. like Pokemon on the GB and N64, or King of fighters on the DC and NGCP

Sonic

Maybe a giant 'VMU'-esque screen. You can plug it into the back of your controller and 4 players can get help and advice on their gaming strategy!

You could find out how much energy people have. Using it as a controller would only limit the gameplay (buttons). Using the GBA as a 'Super Gameboy' thingy would be good, being able to play all the GBA games on the 'bigish' screen!

Aye... a couple of months ago they were hinting on pretty much the same idea

(that they had spend a not inconsiderable amount of time considering the possibilities of the GBA/GC linkup)

However, after a few teasers were gien out, they went strangly quiet... mmmm

On the contrary... you can play any GB game on the N64 in colour (not great colour though), using the unofficial transfer pack job. I don't know whether u can do this with the Ninty one, but I always thought u could

Sonic

Yeah a games cnverter is a good idea and saves batteries!
