Nintendo has announced their plans for global domination. Their secret weapon? 1T-SRAM by MoSys.

Thanks to Justin for the story over at EE times. So what the hell is it? Here's the junk...

LONDON - So-called one-transistor SRAM technology developed by MoSys Inc. (Sunnyvale, Calif.) has gained a high-profile design win. It will be used by Nintendo Co. Ltd. (Kyoto, Japan) in its Dolphin game console, due to debut in fall 2000.

At a consumer electronics and PC games exhibition here next week, Nintendo is to announce that it has licensed the 1T-SRAM technology from MoSys for use by ArtX Inc. (Palo Alto, Calif.) in a graphics processor being developed for the Dolphin. NEC Corp. will fabricate the chip using a 0.18-micron embedded-DRAM process.

Billy vows to never get a GBC.... yeah right!

This new chapter in the Nintendo story is getting REALLY good. Unfortunately it's going to get me to hold off on a Gameboy color. And I was really psyched about the new Pokemon one too. But why get a GBC when you'll be able to get a Gameboy Advance! Nintendorks has more about it's online capabilities as well as how it can connect to your new Dolphin. The next generation is really going to be amazing. ;)

The rumors have caught up. Nintendo announced today Game Boy Advance (temporary name). That's right, a 32-bit Game Boy! On top of that, they'd like everyone to know that it will form a joint venture with Konami, who will develop games for Game Boy Advance. The 32-bit RISC CPU is developed by the UK based ARM corporation, known for their development of CPUs for cellular phones. Connect two and two and what do you get? That's right, Game Boy Advance will be able to connect to a cellular phone to access the Internet, allow users to download game software, participate in multi-player games, chat and exchange E-mail. Sweet holy glory.
