How the hell want's to turn their gameboy into a phone?

It's like they don't make things for gamers anymore...

I seriously doubt this will ever come to the us, considering no one uses videophones at all round here

Indeed.

From what I've seen, it doesn't seem like there's anyone in Japan saying, "we can't make this! It's stupid and impractical. No one will use it!"

That, or maybe the entire nation is mocking us by showing that they have better technology and choose to waste it on digital pets and computerized undergarments.

Haha

If it ever did make it over here, which is highly unlikely, it wouldn't sell very good. If people want to talk to people and send pictures, they could just buy a phone

That reminds me of that dumb thing they had out for the original Gameboy a few years ago. It was a small camera that went where the game cartridge went and you could take pictures and do things to em. I know I'm not the only one who remembers this thing.

This is probably to counter the release of the Nokia N-Gage. I've also heard that Nintendo will be releasing blank GBA's cartridges to be used as portable media drives. Download your MP3's and play them on your SP. SPadoinkle!
