Pokemon Game Boy Advance Update

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the gotta-catch-em-all-or-at-least-catch-most-of-em dept.

herrvinny writes "As a followup to a previous Slashdot Games article, the upcoming Pokemon Colosseum GameCube game will download an update to a Ruby/Sapphire Pokemon game to fix the internal clock." Pokemon players in the US who want their games patched without buying a new GameCube game can take their carts to EB World or GameStop stores to receive the update. There's also a "special gift" distributed with the patch that requires an open party slot.

    Didn't SOCOM 2 get an update a while back? I've been unable to use my PS2 lately, so I haven't gotten a chance to check it out.

    You have to admit, putting a patch for a game on a different platform into a game is unique as far as I know. And I can't think of any other gaming hardware company where that's possible. Neither Sony nor MS have any peripheral components that communicate like Nintendo with its GC/GBA connection.

    The way Nintendo did it sounds a hell of a lot cooler than the standard "would you upgrade your DirectX" you get with PC games.

    Seriously...Hell FF6 has some nasty bugs in it during its first run release...Most of these were later cleaned up during ongoing cart manufactor runs, but no one said anything... My favorite was the "Play as General Leo" bug...I could repeat it without using a game genie...(Note it was less playing "as" him and more of a nasty glitch that replaced your one of battle characters sprite with Gen Leo.)
