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.

No no no... what I am saying is that the games are now bettered by current hardware.
I'll not lie to you, Link's Awakening, Pokemon Yellow, Tetris, Mario land etc... are all superb.
But they have been bettered by Minish Cap, Ruby and Sapphire, Mario Advance, Advance Wars, Wario Ware, Mario and Luigi, Metroid Fusion etc... etc...
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).

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.

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

Hehe, Darwock doesn't understand the term Fanboy.
Hmmm, if that's the case then you two can't read and remember a whole paragraph.

That's true for the majority of the retailers with the bigger market share don't take in old Game Boy games. (Note: Game have largest share, followed by Asda - Gamestation are trailing behind somewhere)

I can't see what the problem is.
I still can't.
And where's the fanboyistic remarks?
There aren't any.

As many disagreements as me and the Edgy have had over the past few days, he's right.
I'd rather pay less for teh DS without GB/GBC compatability than more with it.
You can buy a Gameboy Colour for 15 quid no, you hobos

Well not really. He's just saying having GB/C compatiability doesn't benefit Nintendo very much. Which is true. He doesn't express any opinions.

I'm quite sure that Edgy is more concerned with what benefits him. Nothing he has said would suggest otherwise. You seem to think that he's said "hurrey Nintendo are making an executive decision I'm so happy!". He has said simply "Nintendo are making an executive decision".

Seriously, wheat are you on about? Nothing anyone has said shows that they enjoy being "treated badly", and it's hardly "bad treatment" anyway. It's not like they're delivering faulty goods at an inflated price, and then not offering good customer service. That's bad treatment.

Except that I doubt many people really care THAT much about GB/C compatibility, and as I have said, if it drives down price and size, while increasing battery life (which is should), then that seems to be keeping gamers happy.
It would be nice to have GB/C compatibility, but it's hardly essential, and if it offers other benefits, then I'm not all that bothered.
