GBA Afterburner Creators Announce Stealth Link

Posted by simoniker on from the look-ma-no-cords dept.

Thanks to the double-team of PlanetGameCube and Shacknews for pointing out that the Gameboy Advance 'Afterburner' backlight creators, Triton Labs, have announced the Stealth Link GBA multiplayer adaptor. It'll allow you to play multiplayer Gameboy Advance games against your friends completely wireless, without those pesky link cables, and is due in retail stories in Q3 2003. More excellent innovation here from the people who made the GBA usable again, before Nintendo put in backlighting as standard with the Gameboy Advance SP.

    Is this something you could hook up to a computer? I could see all sorts of neat hacks (emulator/GBA connectivity, GBA/GBA connectivity over the Internet, backup/restore of GBA save files) for a device like that.

    Try not. Do or do not, there is no try.

  2. other applications? by GlobE+59 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Makes you wonder what other applications this could be used for. You have the bluetooth-adapter coming out in q4(from what i've heard) and perhaps they will both help spawn a new array of wireless applications.
    Question is of course, do we really want/need to turn an excellent little gaming-platform into a multipurpose-ninja-tool? The digital camera and printer for the old gameboy was perhaps not the most brilliant products.... or?
