New Nintendo Hardware Announced

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the console-peripherals-on-the-periphery dept.

Xs writes "SPOnG.com has an article on two new pieces of hardware coming out of Nintendo today. One of which is a new e-Reader, the e-Reader Plus, that can store data while the GBA is off. And the other is a Gamecube memory card that can read Panasonic SD generic media storage cards. Not only does this increase the maximum storage capacity per Gamecube slot, but this also opens up the ability to trade save game files online via a PC!" I've yet to buy an e-Reader, and this makes me think I should hold off for a while longer.

  1. They announced the SD card thing a while ago by k_187 · · Score: 2, Informative

    When the GC came out, Nintendo said that they would eventually have an SD card reader. I'm supprised that it took this long for it to come out, but hey its all good, right?

  2. Japan only. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 4, Informative

    The North American e-Reader was changed when brought overseas. Originally, the Japanese version didn't have link cable support, program storage, full voice on menus, or NES emulator (which is on the hardware itself in North America). This product is only a Japanese version, upgrading the product to the new features.
