Exercise Your Wrist, Power Your GBA?

The Hong Kong-based videogame store Lik Sang, whose (now unrelated?) company of the same name have been clashing with Nintendo over Gameboy 'backup devices' recently, have showcased another very cool Asian game-related gadget on their site, the SP Mini Winding Charger Handle. According to the manufacturer, "By winding handle to power the [Gameboy Advance] SP console, winding the handle for 8 minutes can play the game for 15 minutes, no need the battery. Human Power!" So you can rotate the miniature handle to power your GBA in handheld-related emergencies, and we refuse to make any obvious jokes at this time.

Combine this with Kojima-san's upcoming curiosity Boktai, a vampire hunting game that requires sunlight to power up weapons, and you've got your kids sorted. :-)

If they keep this up, in a few years time games could well have even overweight couch potatoes running for their lives. :-)
