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.

There you go again - is this the highest form of slavish fanboyness or what? Should you not be more concerned with what benefits you, than what benefits Nintendo?

Even though you seem to enjoy being treated badly if it means financial gain for an unrelated company, it is actually worse for Nintendo overall. Because if Nintendo keep gamers happy, they actually make money! Crazy but it works.

How many people carry all their games around with them all the time - let alone have time to play more than one thing on the go?

Saves you carrying around two bits of kit if it all played on the DS.

They're not commonly available in the shops anymore - not the main ones.

And Nintendo don't benefit from pre-owned games.

And if you already have a Game Boy capable of playing, then it doesn't put you at a loss.

You don't see the problem... it wouldn't benefit Nintendo....

no that's right, it would benefit us!! I hadn't realised this was a site for shareholders, obviously...

I bought Link's Awakening for a tenner just the other month, about 30 mins after I decided to look for it. Really hard to get hold of? No.

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.

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 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.
