Could Matsushita's rewritable SD Cards be part of the NGC/GBA connection?

Ed Shih told me he'd post this last night, though I guess he was out partying too long and forgot. You know what that means — he's FIRED! Actually, it means that I have to do it... It also means I will have to send Louie to beat up Ed and take away his medication (firing is too good for that pansy).

Pokémon GBA/NGC for 2002?

It's Martin Luther King day, a time to honor a great civil rights leader.

Since many of us have the day off today, I think it’s important to remember why. I would feel remiss if I didn’t mention Martin Luther King Jr. today in such a public forum. Although MLK was not a perfect man and by no means started the Civil Rights Movement, or made the progress he did single-handedly, he was an genuinely amazing human being who inspired us all. Let us never forget his sacrifice, or his dream.

Over at the GBDojo, one of their readers, Furanky, was cool enough to send in pics from a Japanese Trade-Show.Check out this picture to see a Pink GBA along with giant green-prototype game carts out of it and another silver GBA nearby. A pink GBA to match the pink GameCube? Neat! Naturally, there's been no word on whether or not this is a final color for GBA, in either US or Japan.

Those guys are good at what they do! MAX!
