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.
