TalkBack / RE: Two New Patents From Nintendo

« on: February 11, 2005, 03:08:46 PM »

I think most people would be right to assume that V-Pocket would be "Play-Yan" for the U.S. market.  It doesn't really matter that the patent was filed in Japan.  It makes the most sense, but you never know with Nintendo.  I think most of the speculation for PCGP has been good as most of the serious guesses have been close to what Nintendo might be thinking.  However, I wouldn't be surprised if this patent may just be for the sometimes rumored successor to the Game Boy Advance.  I'd guess that this successor would come next year, and there has been talk about a device that could play GAMECUBE or GAMECUBE-like games.  PCGP would fit along the lines of a 'Portable' / 'GameCube' 'Player'...  Just something to think about.  Nonetheless it shall be interesting to see.

TalkBack / Resident Evil No Longer Exclusive?

I could be wrong on this but I think this newspaper article was mainly referring to the fact that Resident Evil Online will be on PS2.  I think whoever wrote this article at the newspaper was a little confused on the facts of the deal made between Capcom and Nintendo and mistakenly reported it as a break on previous arrangements.  That's just my take on the report
