Gameboy Advance Killer??
« on: May 07, 2003, 03:42:57 PM »

In a recent new article by MSNBC (Microsoft owned) they ran an article about a new Palm handheld gaming system. Here are a few quotes that might get Nintendo moving to make a new Gameboy...NOT!

"  The Tapwave executives hope to compete with those two units (GBA and N-Gage) on the basis of superior technology.
      The Helix boasts twice the color palate of the Game Boy and nearly 16 times that of the N-Gage. It offers a screen resolution well sharper than either one and a much larger screen size. "

"Connell and Lim (the makers) said the target audience for the Helix consists of people 18 years to 34 years old who have largely ''graduated'' from Nintendo Co. Ltd.'s Game Boy Advance portable gaming unit. "

LOL!!!!!! Graduated from GBA? That's just plain funny. I couldn't seem to find any tech spec or pictures. Has anybody heard anything more about this "thing"? How could anybody even consider competing with GBA SP? 1000's of games, everybody and there momma is making games for GBA. Anyways, just thought it was funny.
