Gameboy E-Reader - Game And Watch Cards

Posted by simoniker on from the mario's-card-swipe-factory dept.

Courtesy of IGN, who extracted the pictures from Nintendo's official E3 press booklet, comes pictures and more details of the Game And Watch E-Cards, the collectible data cards which you can swipe through your E-Reader add-on in order to load in classic G+W games. Although there's already Game And Watch 4 for GBA and several prequels for Gameboy, these e-cards look to include classic, if basic titles never converted to Nintendo's new-school portable gaming platform. Neat stuff.

    Are Nintendo going to do anything about the fact that you can't close a GBAsp with a US e-reader plugged in? It seems as if the designers of the GBAsp only had the Japanese e-reader to play with, as it has no comm port passthrough that sticks out. Of course, the Japanese e-reader doesn't play US cards...
