a Mr. Newton .J. Freeman is interviewing a random person on a busy london street, about nintendo's new and highly secretive handheld console.
'A handheld console that is smaller than your current mouse, costing only £40 pounds complete with a game and a furthur £10 pounds for more games? What's that you say?'
'Sounds like a brilliand idea!'
Well, of course it is my friend, but there is one small obsticle you must overcome to obtain this mastery of the hand-held philosophy.
'what could that be?'
it is themed entierly on pokemon.
*there is a beep, and the camera points down to the ground. there is some more beeeping, and a sound like a sack of flour colliding with a street lamp at a very high speed*
the pokemon mini is without doubt one of nintendo's biggest lack of common sense. released waaaaaaaay after the pokemon fad had deflated, a brilliant cheap hand-held alternative to the lenthier, costlier, and less 'pick up and play' console, the gameboy advance/colour (forget when it was released) but themed only on pokemon games. think of the things that could have beeen done! tetris, breakout, and maybe even a few extremley simple platformers and space shoot-em'-ups could have been easily acheived, but instead were replaced with some tedious poke-mon related titles such as 'pokemon pinball', 'pokemon party', and 'pokemon zany cards'. what on earth were nintendo thinking at the time?

Well the console is bringing in a neat little profit for nintendo and i noticed that a group of year 7s today treating it as a craze.
So it will be quite big for little ones.
Also it isnt wasted technology as it cant do much, even game and watch on it would be rubbish.
Also they put the game and watch on the E-cards so they will be about the same so whats the problem?

Releasing Pokémon mini AFTER the Pokémon craze had ended was silly.
I agree with what you lot think:
Releasing a Game & Watch console with Pokémon as a launch game would've been better.
