If Nintendo were clever...

They would encourage Toshiba with their cartoon carts to bring them over to the west, with other popular programmes on them.

They would also make a radio-wave link up between Gameboys so people can play multiplayer wireless and also game online.

If this happens it would be 2 less reasons to own an N-Gage.

you mean these carts? link they should make it over. it's not a hardware add on, it's just a cart, an inexpensive cart...

and wireless links for online play is not as easy as it sounds on nintendo's part. they first need a wireless online network (build one or pay to use one). and second there has to be a proven market for such things. even as it is now online gaming is a risky venture i would imagine wireless online gaming to be even more risky. nintendo has done little in the way of expressing interest in either.

Gameboy Color have an infrared thing on it, didn't it? I never used it.

Nintendo is usually pretty conservative with innovations, and it seems to be working pretty well for the time being.
