A Buy Levitra Online Without Prescription show that details many aspects of the video game industry. In episode 015 I propose what I think the next Nintendo Hand held should be and we get a look into how “Nintendo” might run things. Watch all my 2-Bit episodes in Order: www.youtube.com
DS Sleep mode for the Gameboy DS. Press L+R+Power Button.
Some DS Games use a different view style (Rhythem Heaven, Brain Age, Etc.) Still allow the game boy DS to have it’s screen on “Horizontal mode” when playing those games. Oh, and semi-restricted homebrew development with open source code. (So you can make GB, GBC, GBA Emulaors but block out piracy code that attempts something to load a commercial ROM in DS&GBDS Mode. That anti-piracy would be hardware baised and would need to be “flashed”
@LBTUploader I’m really excited to see the 3DS. Sure I’d still like to see full backwards compatibility and a return to won screen, but the idea of playing 3D games without glasses sounds cool.
Okay, here’s my question. Nintendo has a brand new handheld system coming out that is currently code-named, the 3DS. It is said to be compatible with the entire library of DS games and have it’s own 3D graphics games. Your current thoughts on it with the information given out so far?
@SethTheArcticFox92 The Micro is a great little system, but sadly it can only play GBA games not original Gameboy games.
You know, I think you’ve gotten your wish Kain. I know it’s a little old, but the Game Boy Micro Is actually a downgraded version of your idea here. Just compare a GB-M and your “Game Boy DS” and you’ll know what I’m trying to say.
hmmm, how about a disc drive big enough for backwards compatability with the gamecube because handhelds arent far from standards as the 6th generation consoles. They have always been a step (or few) behind so it shouldn’t be too hard to pull off.
Now that would be sweet. A copyright nightmare, but awesome.
They should at least make it possible somehow to play GB/C/A games… like putting every Mario GB/GBC/GBA game onto one DS cart.
Classic gaming is NEVER pointless.
Yeah it’s true that most new owners of today’s machines don’t care about the older stuff, but my design for the next Nintendo handheld wasn’t for them. It was for me.
including GB it would just increase the size and price. for people like us it would be cool but for most of the people it would be pointless
The GBC plays GB games. The GBA plays GBC and GB games.
The DS plays GBA, but that’s it.
Why did it stop? Shouldn’t the DS play not only GBA games, but GB and GBC games too?
Then the DSi dropped all backwards compatibility.
The only reason for dropping support for older games is so they can start selling them on DSiware.
Great business strategy and great for people who don’t have the old games. But I would like to be able to play my old games on my new systems.
It’s not a big deal though.
well if you already have them and they still work , why dont you just play them on a GBA?
Of course, keep the classics alive for new generations.
But I don’t want to be forced to re-buy games I still have and still work.
they could put gameboy games on the dsiware, cause lets be honest gameboy games are getting harder to find.
You´re right! Im using emulators for the old ones!
idea: Virtual Handheld
I agree that there were tons of awesome games for the game boy, but I don’t see kids today having any interest in returning to them. I think we have to admit that the past is the past.
After all, I’ve had a NES in my house for as far back as I can remember (literally) but I just missed the Atari system by a few year and never went back (unless you count a few of the arcade games)
So, I like your idea, but I don’t see them going along with it if it costs them a dime
I saw a thing for the new bigger dsi. For those of us over the age of 6, it’s gonna be a good thing
Apparently they will make a next generation DS. Which should be cool.
DS originally stood for Developer’s System. Everyone started referring to it as Dual Screen so it stuck.
As for mine idea, it has Dual Screen modes. Vertical split into to dual screens for DS games and Horizontal for new Gameboy games.
Although the name I choose was really just to illustrate dual compatibility with everything Gameboy and everything DS.
I wanted to let you point out on your idea creation: DS means Double screen or dual screen. the gameboy DS only has 1
I hated how small the ds carts were they were cool at first then i would take them on trips and they would get lost if i didnt keep them in my holder i would find them but it was a hassle. But i didnt really like the touch screen i would rathe use the buttons sometimes,
lol and now theres the DSi ll it’s like the beginning of the gameboy all over again
i want internal memory that emulates the gamboy color and advance batteries as long as your gameboy is on sleep mode that way you dont have to spend time and money replacing your old batteries. and there needs to be a sleep mode like laptops have so you use like 2 percent battery in a day when your not playing it.
Yep, I’m still using my DS Lite.
