well, although it's already been done with Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Advance, i think we're gonna finally get to see some good use of the GameBoy Advance and GameCube connectivity.
pretty much the day after tomorrow. man, it's sooo close.
i know atleast one person out there has something to say about this.
What do ya suppose could be the thing stacked/connected under the white GBA behind Wario?
They wouldn't dare come out with a hard drive for MP3s and such, -would they?!?
Maybe I'm just behind, but what's a Card E?
whats the thing going between the GBA connector and the GBA itsself in that pic
I believe that black thing is an E-card reader, which right now only reads special pokemon cards.
From NCS:
Quote:
Pokemon still holds sway over the hearts of children around the world although the craze of yesteryear has subsided somewhat. As the distance to the holidays grow ever closer, Nintendo banks on a new gadget which attaches to any Gameboy Advance handheld and plies the Pokemon trade once more. Colored dark blue, the E-card reader plugs in like any other cartridge. Power up and it waits for you to swipe a card through it's sensor. A pack of 10 specially encoded cards are included in the package to give you a taste of what awaits you when additional card packs are released. Inspect the cards closely and you'll see a data strip on the left side of the card and a shorter data strip on the bottom. Both strips contain data which may launch mini-games related to the particular Pokemon card or give you some information on the monster.
Edit: I forgot to mention that NCS has been carrying these for a while. $58
aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
