GameBoy could save Nintendo, they have Pokemon which generated £15 billion of revenue for Nintendo last year. But the best feature is games like Mario Tennis, you play it on GameBoy and train up a character and build them up then you can use a Transfer Pak and play them on your N64, now I will assume this will continue on to the GBA and GC, this is a great feature and I am so pleased that the people down at Nintendo have come up with these ideas. Perhaps a Wrestling games where you create you character and build them up on GB, on the train wherever and put them into No Mercy 2. The idea has loads of potential, and at the moment it is one that Nintendo certainly holds all the trump cards in, certainly it will help the ailing giant as it battles to reclaim its prestige. I hope that others can follow the lead and let us play our favourite games on the move with the knowledge that it will help us to bash our mates when we all meet and play on the console.

If you're planning on getting a Gameboy, wait til July! The Gameboy Advance'll be out and some of the games are ment to be better quality than PS2 games with instant load times!

But most of them will be in between 32-bit and 16-bit! So they'll be better than SNES quality! Plus the 32-bit GBA processor can allow CD quality music to be played off a cart!

Too true Edgy. In the current US sales charts Pokemon Gold and Silver are at postions 1 & 2, and Donkey Kong Country is also in the top 10.

The rest of the cart comprimises of 4 playstation games, and 3 N64 games.

Once again you mention how Nintendo could be saved but THEY AREN'T IN ANY DANGER! THEY DON'T NEED TO BE SAVED!

The Gameboy has outsold the Playstation and Pokémon Gold is a record breaker selling more copies than any other game in the world!

Gameboy is the world most popular games machine, its sold more than Playstation. Hopefully the Gameboy advance will have all the features you mention, and maybe the ability to communicate via a linkcable with the Gamecube..so subgames could be downloaded from the Gamecube. So as you say if you bought WWF Smackdown 3 or the like for the Gamecube you could download the subgame and train your player on the Advance.
MarioKart Advance, looks pretty sweet, I hope it plays more like the supernintendo version (my favourite) than the N64 version.

It's a good idea, but it's more likely to link to the GameBoy Advance, as this has already been announced.
Also it could be a little pricey to get going, as you'd need to have the Gamecube, the GBA, the game on both formats, and a transfer pak type device!
