Nintendo's new Play Yan media player, which allows you to play music and movies on your GBA or DS, launched in Japan today. Alongside it, Nintendo unveiled a new section of the Play Yan site, featuring downloadable "Garage Games" for the device, which communicates with your PC via Panasonic SD cards. The first game available is Insect, and a new game will be unveiled each week, for a total of twelve games. A thirteenth game is available to Japanese Club Nintendo members.

Would be nice. Demos on discs are common (at least with PlayStations and PCs) since we all know that discs are cheaper than cartridges. If they ever did make GBA game demos, this would be the way to do it, eliminating production costs of cartridges altogether.
Or they could have things similar to the downloadable thingies that the GCN-GBA cable have done, if the Play-Yan becomes more popular, it would likely be more successful.

QuoteKnowing Nintendo ... not gonna happen. We all know Nintendo likes to control everything. If they let anyone create games they'd wind up with Mario beating up hookers or Link and Zelda getting it on.
