Think. After the next two generations of handhelds we may get Game Cube and PS2 quality games that we can play where ever we want. They'ed probably have to make the screen a bit bigger for the things in the distance to be recognisable. It could only be about 8 to 10 years away! The would be able to come up with some even greater ideas then.

Uhu 3D it can do, project Jade can also do 3D, Panasonic one god knows same with X-box one but Pokemon mini wont.
Thats not real 3d either its all 2d sprites.
Yes it does actually.
Doom Advance to name one.
Doom Advance to name one.
Yes but it's not "real" 3D, is it?
GBA does have some 3d games. Tony hawks!
I just had a thought:
Nintendo always name there GameBoys with an extra word on the end to explain what it's like
eg. GameBoy Classic = the first ever GameBoy
GameBoy Pocket = fits into your pocket
GameBoy Colour = can play colour games
GameBoy Advance = uses advanced technology for some games
So what will the next one be called?
I think, if it has 3D games, it will be called GameBoy 3D.
But then, the one after it would also play 3D games due to backward compatibility, so what would they call that?
I think it will be something like GameBoy Techno, or something like that because we will have loads of new technologies then and it is likely to use them.
Any other ideas?

You can get a mobile adaptor, but only in Japan, as they have a totally different mobile phone system eg. my phone in Japan has video conferencing, and a better version of "WAP".

Unfortunatly untrue. Money is the greatest limitation of anything, these days, and your imagination has to be packed inside how much someone is willing to spend.
I still think the GBA should've had more buttons.
