I suppose you can use the cartridge slot for both GB games and GC memory cards. I don't like the button layout. I would have assumed that they would have taken the Cube button layout and made the b button kiddney shaped like the x and y and then taken all three of them and moved them closer to the A button. This would have worked better than the current design if they lowered the A button with some kind of dip so the thumb can rest there and be surounded by the b,x, and y for easier access. At least the dpad is a good size.

My real complaint though is that the screen is way way way way too small. The screen should be able to compete with the PSP's screen size. It could at least be made four times the size that is shown in the pic.

Now all we have to do is wait for Nintendo to say that it is a fake.

Of course it's a fake...The chance for something this big leaking out of Ninty is almost nill...

It's obviously a mockup, and that's obviously a screenshot of F-Zero taken from some place like IGN and shrunk. It's an interesting idea but in now way real.

Wow.....someone said counterstrike was exclusive? Exclusive in the sense that it's so old no other company could possibly waste their money to buy a port?

Right here

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #10 on:** December 18, 2003, 01:57:51 PM »

Mmmm...That source code gets me HOT!

Grey Ninja · « **Reply #11 on:** December 18, 2003, 02:01:21 PM »

man... knowsnothing... you have shown me that I have been programming for too long. I had read half the page before I even realized it wasn't being displayed properly. I was reading the source code just like it was the real deal.

Tip for you though. Rename the extension to .htm, or .html. It will work much better.

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #12 on:** December 18, 2003, 02:03:07 PM »

I didn't what now? Crap.

I forgot to add the extention.

WLL NOW IT'S ALL RUINED. You keep on reading your source code. Have fun.

mouse_clicker · « **Reply #13 on:** December 18, 2003, 02:10:56 PM »

Source code? All I saw was a page about how eating fetuses is good for you.

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #14 on:** December 18, 2003, 02:13:51 PM »

CHA-CHING! mouseclicker wins the prise.

I'm confused.

doesn't sound like Netscape or Mozilla... both of those will display txt/plain when presented with an unknown doctype...

Opera does tend to disobey standards if they think it will gain them a few users... IE of course was developed by people who never heard of the W3C...

You running Opera over there? I would check, but I don't feel like booting Windows, and I am happy with my browser here.

KnowsNothing, just out of curiousity, can you add this line in your <head> tags?

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #17 on:** December 18, 2003, 02:18:19 PM »

Nope, still source code for me...Oh well, reading source code is more fun...

mouse_clicker · « **Reply #18 on:** December 18, 2003, 02:32:16 PM »

Yep, Fireibird is giving me source code while Opera is displaying the page. One reason Opera's awesome.

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #19 on:** December 18, 2003, 02:45:19 PM »

Grey, go here I have no clue what you just did, or what your browser will display the site as, but whatev.

Termin8Anakin · « **Reply #20 on:** December 18, 2003, 02:52:42 PM »

you know, if the screen in that GBA2 mock is bigger, like, say the size of the unit itself (like the GBA SP), then i would definitely buy it.

Grey Ninja · « **Reply #21 on:** December 18, 2003, 03:33:25 PM »

hmmm... I see. I was just curious. It's probably the way the Angelfire server is configured then. What that did was to specify that the doc type of the document was txt/html, which I thought MIGHT override the file extension. But Angelfire seems to have said that any file without an extension is of type txt/plain, which SHOULD render as source code in a standards complaint browser.

Yeah I know ...that was suggested at the bottom of the pic. But Is that even possible , I mean wouldnt the graphics have to be toned down a bit IF that were to ever happen.

nemo_83 · « **Reply #23 on:** December 18, 2003, 04:54:23 PM »

I think the pic looks great.

I just noticed that there was a topic on fast forward earlier today about the same thing, but there should be one in cube discussion anyways cause nobody goes in that forum.

The problem with making the screen huge though is that it consumes more power. I won't be getting one anyways because I already have a cube and would have only bought the thing to hook it up to my tv to play the games in the first place. Of course with low cube sales (until this holiday season) the user base has plenty of room to grow so NIntendo can combine their home and portable markets next year allowing for years of gamecube and gameboy advance development since for some odd reason their portables sell better than all 3 consoles combined.

mouse_clicker · « **Reply #24 on:** December 18, 2003, 04:56:48 PM »

It's impressive enough that Nintendo crammed the immense power of the Gamecube in that little case, I seriously doubt they could shrink it down to the size of a handheld.
