VMU can't touch GBA when it comes to these kinds of things. you're beyond insane.
It is a hella gimmick of the highest order. Pathetic indeed.
Hey, this is the Nintendo magic their fans demand and vehemently defend. Let them swim in their own shit.
Have fun defending this one, boys.
Too gimmicky. I've always hated the idea because I knew that nothing cool would happen with it.
Lucas, on the VMU issue he was just talking about extra little games that expand the gameplay. Such as you could raise your Chao away from Sonic Adventure and your dreamcast. In sports games you could secretly select your plays on your VMU so your opponent couldn't see. The second example can easily be compared to simply having something such as a map (Zelda...or was it prime..or both..I FORGOT) on the GBA. YAKNOWHATIMSAYIN? ;)
Pacman sounds like a lot of fun. Everything else sucks.
I'll pay 120+ Dollars less and just see that on the TV Screen.Quote:

If I had the connectivity and both counterparts were good, I would.
Now that a ton of games HAVE the connectivity, I probably won't be able to buy them because they won't be full games unless I pay a 100 bucks worth of software for one experience.
It's like the old SNES days all over again.
I usually do but I can't here.Quote:

They should forget about selling PacMan as a game; Nintendo should bundle it as a playable demo with the GBA+link cable. PacMan is all I'm interested in. I can't afford to shell out $400 for a 4-player GCN gimmick. Nintendo is desperately trying to get GBA owners to buy GCN software and vice-versa.Quote:

I am purely against it. In fact, I've beaten metroid fusion and I still cannot see the fusion outfit on prime because I haven't got the will to lose $20 for a link cable. I think I'd rather wait till they make a memory card that has internet download support so I can get whatever files I need rather then to keep going with this cross-platform BS.
btw, has nintendo ever considered how to handle people in their 20's reguarding owning multiple GBA's? There sure as hell ain't gonna be anybody around to support it and unless we can get some way to link our gba to the pc with some kinda link server going through gamespy (or something like that) I'm sure their answer will always be to go f**k ourselves... :rolleyes:
here's preying sony whoops their ass in the handheld devision for this.

It's kind of like what the DC VMU should have been.
so you're saying that nintendo and square are too cheap to give us a map on the normal screen while playing the game? that's such a crock of s***!
as for what the DC VMU should have beem, it's part of the DC controller and with some games, it'll show you things like maps, wanrings, health stats (like RE:CV) and whatnot. The GBA is doing EXACTLY what the VMU did, but there's a difference in paying $20 for a VMU and paying $75-99. for a GBA with a $20 bonus to nintendo for a cord to link it up.
even if I love the games they make, they still give us the run-around more then sony or even microsoft. I hope they get knocked into a 3rd party so they can't play this merry-go-round bulls**t like they always keep doing. (maybe then they'd pull their heads out of their collective a**! ;)
