BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0003] Portable, handheld game devices are by now well known in the art. See, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,716,103; 6,743,104; 6,821,204. Game devices previously have not had, however, dual screen functionality in combination with touch-sensitive technology, and the capability of accommodating different-sized game cards packaged in a novel and easy-to-use game console.
Guys, that patent is obviously referring to the DS.

i only have the Japanese FFTA, but I didn't have any problems with it. I just wouldn't take the screen any further than you need to read it. It was pretty comfortable where I held mine and I could read everything well.

Zero and crew once again attempt to bring peace between Reploids and humans.
MENACING CHALLENGES AWAIT THE BLUE BOMBER AS CAPCOM® RELEASES MEGA MAN® ZERO 4 FOR THE GAME BOY® ADVANCE
- New Gameplay System and Intense Action Enhances Latest Entry in ‘Zero’ Series -
SUNNYVALE, Calif. - October 4, 2005 - Capcom®, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today released Mega Man® Zero 4 for the Game Boy® Advance video game system. Featuring new gameplay elements that elevate the handheld series to new heights, Mega Man® Zero 4 maintains the tradition of delivering an exciting 2D action game that chronicles the dramatic ‘Zero’ saga. Mega Man® Zero 4 is now available at retailers across North America and is rated ‘E’ for everyone by the ESRB (Entertainment Software Rating Board).
After falling under the evil rule of Dr. Weil, Neo Arcadia has collapsed into a state of chaos and confusion. Zero discovers this disastrous turn of events when he and his friends come to the rescue of a band of humans fleeing Neo Arcadia. Zero must now resolve this terrible conflict between humans and reploids in order to restore peace and security throughout the land. With new systems to seize enemy weapons and create strengthening chips, plus new Cyber elf programs to introduce new abilities, this is the most exhilarating action to ever coming to the Game Boy Advance.
Mega Man Zero 4 boasts the following features:
· Four Brand New Systems Implemented For Enhanced Gameplay:
o New “Weapon Seizing” System – By skillfully defeating enemies, players can collect various weaponry and parts from their opponents to use as sub-weapons
o New “Weather Changing” System – As you progress through the game, players have the ability to change the weather, concurrently altering the level of difficulty and maps. When it snows, dangerous spikes are now covered, making it easier to proceed onward. Hidden routes are revealed when the weather clears.
o New “Item Recipe” System – By combining the parts that are taken away from defeated enemy Reploids with items that are found throughout the game, you can create new chips and equip them.
o New “Elf Customizing” System –Customize your own Cyber elf to best suits your unique fighting style. Utilize up to three types of elf abilities: ‘Nurse-type’ regenerates Zero’s health; ‘Animal-type’ improves movement and provides back-up attacks; ‘Hacker-type’ increases movement and fighting techniques.

Nintendo Gaming / RE:Donkey Konga 3 Review

If you've never soldered anything before, and you have nothing else to work on besides your GC, it would be much safer to just get a Freeloader.

I was stupid and didn't get just a Freeloader. I went the other route and used the soldering method, which is actually pretty painless once you know what you're doing. So, I never had a problem saving and didn't even think there would be problems. Thanks for the heads up.

TalkBack / The Bible Game Announced
« on: May 10, 2005, 08:48:52 AM »
Crave Entertainment seems to think that there aren't enough Bible games these days, so get your Game Boy Advance ready.
Think you know your Bible?
Crave Entertainment Announces The Bible Game for PlayStation 2 and Game Boy Advance
Los Angeles, Calif.-May 10, 2005-Crave Entertainment, a leading publisher of console videogames, today announced the upcoming release of The Bible Game for PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system and the Game Boy® Advance handheld system. The first titles of their kind on current console systems, both games combine wholesome family fun with a engaging challenge of Biblical knowledge.
The Bible Game for PlayStation 2 casts players as contestants on a game show with fast-paced, "beat the buzzer" action and a comical off-screen announcer as emcee. 20 mini- and micro-games with 1,500 questions reinforce inspirational Old Testament teachings such as Jonah and the Whale, David and Goliath, The Tower of Babel, and many more. Multiplayer mode for up to 4 players encourages family members of all ages to play together, and provides a fun alternative for family game nights.
The Bible Game for Game Boy Advance combines action/adventure play style with trivia challenges. In their quest to protect the Armor of God, players may choose to play as either Billy or Jenny across seven levels including forest, snowy tundra, desert, and tropical island environments. Along the way they must answer questions from both the Old and New Testaments. Either the New International Version or King James translation may be selected, and three levels of difficulty keep the game accessible for all ages.
Scheduled for release in October 2005, The Bible Game will be available for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system and GameBoy® Advance handheld system for a MSRP of $19.99.

TalkBack / Namco and Bandai to Merge
« on: May 01, 2005, 04:39:52 PM »
From the Land of the Rising Sun comes the major news. Details are inside!
Joining forces, Namco and Bandai would become the second largest game/toy maker in Japan. Their combined 458 billion yen in annual sales would be surpassed only by that of Sega Sammy Holdings.
Both companies had been looking for other companies with which to integrate their operations to ensure their survival against newly intensified competition.
Japan's leading toy maker (Bandai), and one of the leaders in video game offerings (Namco), hope to have everything in place by this Autumn.
We'll have more information on this breaking news as it comes out.
UPDATE: CNN reports that Bandai is purchasing Namco for $1.6 billion.
Financial experts believe the merge will not significantly affect either companies' operations.
"Basically, this is a positive step for both firms," said Takeshi Tajima, a consultant at BNP Paribas. "This isn't a merger where one is rescuing the other. Each will bring strengths to the table and together they can work to address any weak points."
Namco fans around the world can only hope Mr. Tajima's statements are accurate.
UPDATED AGAIN: Namco's official Japanese site discloses further details. The merged company, Namco Bandai Holdings, Inc., will be established on 29 September 2005. Kyushiro Takagi (Representative Director of Namco) will act as Chairman and Director and Takeo Takasu (Bandai President and Director) will assume the role of President and Representative Director. These two head honchos will be joined by three other directors from each company, as well as others from outside of either company.
The official report also iterates Namco Bandai's plans to focus on both companies' strengths. Most importantly for American gamers, this means that the company will play up Bandai's strong merchandising muscle and Namco's software development skills.

TalkBack / GameCamp Scholarship Contest
« on: February 16, 2005, 07:47:44 PM »
Want to work in the video game industry? GameCamp will help you out.
GameCamp! Announces National Scholarship Contest for College-Prep Summer Video Game Development Program
Thursday, February 17th, 2005---Austin, Texas--- GameCamp! announces their national scholarship contest for two lucky winners to attend the GameCamp! summer program for teenage students interested in video game development careers. GameCamp! focuses on teaching students about leadership, team development, technical excellence, game industry production and business practices through actual game design and development planning projects
The GameCamp! scholarship is being offered to student contest entrants throughout the United States. The full scholarship will be awarded to the students that write the best 500-word essay entitled “Why I want to work in the video game industry.” Two winners will receive free tuition, room and board, and educational materials for the intensive two-week summer camp being held July 10 to July 24 at Texas State University in San Marcos, just south of Austin, Texas. Deadline for essay submissions is April 30, 2005 and winners will be notified by May 10, 2005. A panel of game industry leaders will handle the final judging of the essays.
GameCamp! has been developed to help teenage students learn about the growing career opportunities in the video game industry, while also giving them the resources for planning that career path. “The Interactive Entertainment industry is growing by leaps and bounds, says Robin McShaffry, V.P. for Mary-Margaret.com Recruiting and Business Services. “New, upcoming talent will need passion, great skills, and great training. We think GameCamp! is a super way to start kids on the road to success at making games for a living, and we are excited to be involved."
Students at GameCamp! will participate in a project and seminar-oriented curriculum taught by experienced game industry designers, artists, programmers, and other developers. “Of course they will also play a lot of games,” says Brian Urbanek, Creative Director of Ninjaneering, LLC, an Austin-based game development company. “You have to play games to know how to build games, plus it’s a great way to teach the skills needed for succeeding in a career as competitive as the game development industry.
Outside of the video game industry, game design and development processes are revolutionizing a variety of business and educational products and services, while also driving universities and technical schools to create degree programs and specializations in game development. Notes GameCamp!’s Director, Spencer Zuzolo, “Kids interested in game careers have few resources to help them with their educational goals or developing a career plan. GameCamp! helps students bridge this growing knowledge gap by giving them a real world perspective on what it takes to succeed in the game business and how their skills can be applied to other industries.”
GameCamp! has partnered with game industry recruiting firm Mary-Margaret.com, Texas State University, the Center for Advanced Computers Studies at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, Austin Community College, and game developers from Central Texas to help develop a project-based curriculum that gives a real world understanding of how games are created. In addition to the two-week camp, GameCamp! is offering two other summer sessions: a week-long commuter camp hosted at Austin Community College (June 20 to June 24) and a week long residential and commuter camp at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette (July 31 to August 7).

TalkBack / Electronic Arts Finalizes Ubisoft Deal
« on: February 03, 2005, 08:44:24 AM »
EA sure does like to spend a lot of money.
Electronic Arts has formalized the purchase of almost three and a half million shares worth of stock from Ubisoft, the entertainment giant announced today. Following on the heels of the initial announcement, EA now holds a whopping 3,497,049 shares of Ubisoft, each of which costs 19.69 Euros.
According to some reports, Ubisoft was apparently trying to fend off such an acquisition, but in the end it was inevitable. This move however does not give EA any say over how the company is managed. They only have access to 18.4% of the voting rights of the company compared to the 22.8% owned by the founders of Ubisoft, the Guillemot family. At almost $88 million, it is easily one of Electronic Arts' biggest acquisitions.
