Nintendo to Counter PSP Media Features

Posted by Zonk on from the extending-your-gameboy-for-fun-and-profit dept.

docdude316 writes "Gamespot is reporting that Nintendo has just announced a new media player add-on which is compatible with the Game Boy Advance SP and the Nintendo DS. The media player will let both the GBA SP and the DS play MPEG-4 and MP3 files off of a SD card. It will retail for 5,000 yen ($48 US), and will only be available off of Nintendo's website. There are currently no plans for a North American or European release."

    Very similar devices already exist for the GBA. This one, for instance, does movies, music, ebooks, pictures, and even old famicom games.

    All that and its cheaper too. (No, this is not a product endorsement.)
