Topic: Microsoft to make GBA games?

[Draygaia]

I just read in I can't remember either EGM or GI that Microsoft are looking into handheld gaming.  That doesn't mean they're interested in making a handheld, they're just looking into it.  They also been going to GB developers on how to make games for the GB or the upcoming DS.

That doesn't make me like MS because I never hated MS to begin with.  I just don't like a lot of the things they're doing.  Using pornstars, uncool and unfunny celebrities, and all that unnecessary stuff.

Although not really related to the above it seems the gaming industry is going in this direction that Nintendo has been talking about for a long time.  

-Xbox has a camera, Sony sees what they did with the camera and does the same thing but tries to do better.  They sound like they're just releasing all these ideas now when they could have earlier only as weapons to get ahead of each other when they feel threatened.

-PS3 possibly having something like TiVo.

-MS plans to have xbox2 play xbox and PC games.  To me thats good but because they think they can they're going add another DVD player, cd music player, cd burner, and a whole bunch of other stuff I totally forgot.  As if paying $600 wasn't bad enough.  I might as well go buy a Dell computer since that does more except play xbox/xbox2 games, unless they have a plan for that too.

Rumors have it that the XBox 2 will be compatible to PC virii...

MS is supplying PDA and Smartphone OSes and stated they intend to extend XNA to these platforms. Obviously pointless, you can't make a game that in one version supports both a PDA and utilizes the newest PC graphics card to its limit. Just doesn't work that way.
