Game Boy Gets Videophone Attachment

Posted by simoniker on from the there's-a-person-on-my-screen dept.

Thanks to the San Jose Mercury News for their article about a new videophone peripheral for the Game Boy Advance, being launched in Japan this December. According to the article, "The 13,000 yen (US$110) Campho Advance... slips into the top of the Game Boy Advance just like any video-game cassette. When connected to an analog telephone outlet [and someone with the same equipment], the display shows live video of the person on the other end of the line... Your own image will show up in the corner of the display." There's also a picture of the Campho Advance over at Famitsu.com.
