GBA SD Digicard Adaptor

So, does anyone think that it will ever be released? It was announced back when the GCN was unveiled. I really want one....just think of the possibilities.

Sure, they aren't cheap, but SD cards aren't that expensive any more either. And a 128 mb card can hold any Nintendo cartridge game ever created. Just think about it. If Master Quest were released on one (yeah I know, it's not cheap), it could keep it's rewritable features from the N64DD. Now, I'm not sure how fast the GCN memory card slots can read data, but it shouldn't be too bad...especially since a lot of Ocarina of Time can practically be dumped into the GCN's RAM.
Nintendo could sell old SNES or N64 games on these cards. Again, not likely, but come one. For example....a new Super Mario All Stars? All the NES and SNES mario bros. games, plus Super Mario Kart could fit onto an SD card. Heck, you could even throw in Mario Kart 64 or Mario 64 if there is enough room left. I doubt either of those games are over 16 mb...if 8 mb.
Or you could give away classic games with preorders like Nintendo did with Master Quest. Get F-Zero X and expansion with preorder of F-Zero GC.
And think about what could be done with GBA Connectivity or GB Player. Or, you could actually put new NES or (hopefully) SNES games from the next Animal Crossing onto your memory card and play them from any gamecube you want.
And of course....with even just a 32 mb SD card, you'd have more than enough space for saves than you probably would ever need.
And what about downloading MP3s onto a card and then listening to the tunes via enabled games like Xbox games
Heck, Nintendo could even set up vending maching type booths or something (like the Pokemon Snap ones) where you pay a little money and download classic NES or SNES or N64 games onto your own SD-card...

EDIT: Oh crap I screwed up....GBA digicard?? I meant GCN. For some reason I posted this here and put GBA in the title....Can someone please move this?

ya know.  i had a similar thought not all that long ago...
i was walking home from class the other day with my SP in my pocket.  and i though...  wouldn't it be nice if there was a MP3 player for gameboy.  it could use SD cards.  it would be great.

a few days later i was at my local Software Etc. (an extension of Babbages) and saw just this.  it was $40 with a 32 MB card.  almost worth it just for the card....  i'm still pondering it though.

Hah I'm psychic. I make this thread a week ago asking if it might ever be released, and it's as if Nintendo itself gazed upon my forum post

so you need an adaptor right, then you plug the SD cards into the adaptor? Sounds kinda pricey for me

But you will get to do new things with games. Like in Animal Crossing 2 you can email things to your friends that you save onto an SD card.

Dang, why can't they allow it to save data from the older games on it?  What kind of B.S. is that?

What would realy be cool if nintendo finally just gives into emulation and opens a site with roms, and releases their own emulator, but putting the roms in their own secure format or something. Or hell make it totally open to whatever you want. I bet that you attract a crowd.
