Now the GBA has been released I am already thinking about the future, will another company try and beat the popularity of the Gameboy? will they think of new ideas for portable consoles?
well since nintendo have made it so easy for 4 player games on the GBA I thought of this idea: Internet games on portable consoles, I don't doubt that somebody has already thought of it, but i thought i'd post it 'again'.

Laptop's have used mobile phones for internet connection for sometime now, but it's time to go smaller, why not fit a modem to a gameboy, I know the PSone has a feature like this but you couldn't play someone in Japan while on your school break.

This could be the way forward, since Sega lead the way with internet connection on home consoles, it seems the right way to go, and could be very popular.

The problem is, mobile net connections are incredibly slow.

And I wouldn't exactly called the DC "leading the way", it's just the only one in the race.

In my Jap GBA handbook thing there is a diagram of a GBA connected to a mobile phone.

I can't understand the words so i don't no exactly what it's going on about.

The only thing is, Jap-land have mobile phones more advance than ours so it may be a while before it's viable over here.

I have a feeling that they've linked GBCs to mobiles in Japan too, just for this purpose.

But I could be wrong,

like, yeah!
