GBA Getting Bluetooth

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i-got-no-strings-to-hold-me-down dept.

Tofuhead writes "nReach recently announced their development of a Bluetooth adapter for the Nintendo Game Boy Advance. P2P wireless gaming, internet gaming (via a USB adapter to a net-connected PC), and messaging are featured, as well as service "hot spots" that will be set up in game stores and malls. Release date: Q2 2002." Countless children shall go blind soon after. I can't imagine a harder to see screen then my cursed GBA.

    Instant messaging for GBA. Now that's a dumb idea. GBA is just a whack product that makes me angry thinking about it.

    I bought my wife a GBA because she really wanted it. As soon as we brought it home we realized it was missing something! Backlighting. DUH. I'm spoiled but I guess I just thought that the people at Nintendo weren't stupid. Guess I was wrong.

    So I went back to the store and picked up a "Shark Lite". What a poor product! Whenever she tried to play with the Shark Lite, it would be in her way or it would cause a reflective glare.

    Back to the lamp behind her head while she plays. Oh the whole GBA backlight problem gives me post-purchase depression.

    What a nuisance it is to try and play a game on the GBA when you need to position yourself in a contorted manner just to get to see what you're doing in the game.

    Who knows, maybe my 1 year old daughter will find a use for it.
