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.

Wait for DS.. you can play GBA on that, has lit screen and everything.

Can you link up GBA-GBA titles with a DS?

I dunno, but you can't play original Gameboy or Gameboy Color cartridges with a DS, so a GBA SP might be the cheaper (dare I say better designed) alternative.

Why wouldn't you be able to play GB or GBC games on the DS, but you could play GBA games?

It doesn't make any sense.

Dunno, but you can't. Another sensible decision from Nintendo.

I'm sure I've heard it's completely back-compatible.

I shall go research.

Watch the Nintendo DS Developer Interview:

I just assumed you guys would have been well aware of this, but I guess if it's not good news it gets swept under the carpet.

That really is a piece of lazy ass crap Nintendo. Just read the NOE site press release:

the Nintendo DS is Game Boy Advance compatible meaning the vast library of Game Boy Advance games that are already available will run on the system.

Note they always say GBA, never just Game Boy.

I see it as a good move for Nintendo - it costs money to have dual processors - to have a third means extra cost. Considering it's hard to buy GB and GBC games pre-owned nowadays and that Nintendo don't benefit from pre-owned anyway, I can't see what the problem is.
