You're watching GBATV
Web posted on 27/12/01 Nintendo have struck a deal with Japanese broadcasters NHK and plan to use the GBA to play interactive gameshows on TV.
The deal with the Nippon Broadcasting Corporation means that Game Boy Advance owners will be able to connect their consoles to the internet (with a specified game pack) and interact with specially televised trivia questions. Tot up the answers at the end and you could be in for big prizes, without even getting up out of your seat. It's kind of the equivalent of playing Who Wants To Be A Millionaire while sitting at home, but with the luxury of having an encyclopedia beside you. Sweet.
As of yet, no further details have been announced, but it's certainly an exciting prospect and just hints at the plans Nintendo have for their little baby. We'll let you know when more info is discovered.
I would definetely play it!
It's a shame it finnished, as it was good to see how often the N64 was used in the final stages (why did people ever doubt it???). From watching it, I became obsessed with 1080 Snowboarding, but I SILL haven't got it to this day!! Bad luck about not getting on though. What games would yuo have liked to have played? I'm sure there'll be a similar program on again soon!!
