This thread has been linked to the game 'Boktai: The Sun is in Your Hands'.
A game that gets effected by sunlight. Quite a good idea for a mild horror game.
It's a shame the game is boring.
Going back today.

Hmmm, if that's the case then you two can't read and remember a whole paragraph.
Hehe, Darwock doesn't understand the term Fanboy.
When Edgy said that it was beneficial to Nintendo, I don't see how that is a fanboy comment at all. He was just explaining why Nintendo have done it, not that he approves of it, or that it in any way makes him feel better. You were just clutching at straws there, Darwock.
And it's a shame that you can't play old GB/C games on the DS, in the same whay that it's a shame that you can't play SNES games on the Gamecube. If you want to play those old games, go out and get a GBC for £10.
If it knocks £20 off the price, and increases battery life, and decreses size, then I'm all for it.

Well technically A Link to the Past was a superior Zelda title... and that's on the GBA as well.

Hardware schmardware. Link's Awakening will still probably be the better game than Minish Cap. It hasn't even been released yet and you're saying it's been bettered.. only in hardware and that means nothing.

I'll not lie to you, Link's Awakening, Pokemon Yellow, Tetris, Mario land etc... are all superb.

To make the console backwards compatible with the GB and GBC must have caused problems, either drained battery life or was simply too difficult to implement. Edgy is wrong in thinking this does not benefit Nintendo. Of course it does, if the DS played all GB software then the old Gameboy fans, not just the millions of GBA owners, will be tempted by the machine. Also it means ol' Reggie can run around saying "Over 2000 games already avalible" yardi yardi yar.
If you have a GBA hoping to play the old Gameboy classics then good for you, the DS is not avalible for another year... and when it is avalible not only are we getting one of the greatest Nintendo launches I have ever seen we will also be able to play the best of the GBA games...
Minish Cap, Mario Party, Pinball and Leaf Green will all be mine (evil laughter).

I'm just saying that I rarely used teh GB/GBC thing to play GB/GBC games.
We're not saying it's a good thing, mon ami. We're just saying that's no catastrophe.

Well I got my GBA and saw it as an opportunity to play all the GB games I'd missed out on over the years, which is exactly what I did and I'm still doing.
You zealots need some focus, you're always dredging up Nintendo's past history in arguments about the quality of their games.. now you're saying it's all obsolete and irrelevant!

I'll admit - when I got a GBA< despite my numerous GB titles, I never played any of them.
Oh for christ sake, I have a GBA and I have a vast array of GB and GBC software, as this software has been improved upon in the current generation of GB hardware the older GB titles don't get played.
If you are complaining you can't buy games released 5 years ago on a machine designed to re-invent the future then I'm shocked. You can play Zelda: The Minish cap, the Mario advance series, the latest 2D Metroid games, the best of the Advance Wars series, Mario and Pokemon pinball and that's not to mention the new and improved re-makes of Green and Red.
If it was an easy 5 minute job to implement a GB and GBC backward capability then Nintendo would have done it because it means they can boast a higher capacity of games you can play on the DS. I'm presuming it isn't, and as GBA software will be freely avalible before, during and after the DS launch then it is understandable.
If you think about it Nintendo are saving you from carrying a DS and a GBA around with you if you want to continue both franchises.
The DS is an independant hardware device from the GB series, I mean at least the GBA is still good for something.
And you cannot link the DS to the Gamecube.
