Actually, let me clarify what I was saying.
First, I do NOT mean a "portable gamecube." That story is BS and it's not what I'm talking about at all.
Next, let me just say that I have absolutely NO way of backing this story up with any kind of facts. I'm not trying to mislead anyone either. It just seemed so fascinating that I had to put the idea out there for discussion.
Recently, I attended the San Gennaro festival in Los Angeles with some friends. One of them works on anti-virus software. Now, that's a bit far from video games, but like me he has many friends. This topic came up over dinner and althought I IMMEADIATELY thought it was BS, yet there was something about it that seemed intriguing.
So, let me clarify my earlier point. What if the "NES-5" was a full fledged, high powered "Next,Next Generation," TV Game Console AND a portable game system at the same time?
Or what if, just part of the system turned into a portable gaming device? Like a wireless controller with a screen on it.
Also, what if that same controller could play "downloadable content" and cartridges/miniDVD?
What if that "downloadable content" was from Nintendo's massive back library of hits? Everything from NES,SNES,GB,GBC,GBA, and even possibly the N64.
In the end it's just a rumor. However like the Zelda RPG, it's so fascinating and incredible, that it seems to good to be true, and yet it if it were.....
Could be why the term "suprising and unique" has been thrown around lately. It could also be the reason why the delusional $ony fanboys think a portable GameCube is on the way. If anything that idea lacks more credibility than what I have said about the "NES-5."
