Check out www.gp32
I hope that syntax is right.

As far as I can see it has 4 times the processing speed of GameBoy Advance and twice as much RAM as the Saturn. This is what the GBA should have been like.

Apparently, it's getting a conversion of SFZ3. Surely, it'll look better than the GBA version. Imaging KOF on this!

Oh yeah, look at all the other connectivity features too.

I still would like to see a handheld version of Darkstalkers on any portable,it'd be cool and interesting!

But,while I'm at it,why don't I wish for a million dollars........

They don't even have any pics of SFZ3 or Rockman X5. They probably put those on there just to attract attention.

If Capcom was really behind them then there would be other well-known third parties following suit...

Hehe... But this is Capcom we're talking about. They even licensed a version of Resident Evil 2 for Game.Com (yeah, that crappy b/w system no one remembers)
While it is possible GP32 might see a couple of Capcom licensed-games, I still don't see the system itself going anywhere outside Korean market...

GameGear, Lynx, NeoGeo Pocket, etc...
All of the competitors failed even with superior technology (for their time) than GB. Like everyone here mentioned, with the amount of sheer quality games available for GB/GBC/GBA, GP32 really doesn't stand a chance. (especially at the price it's going for right now)

Very good points! Games are primarily what matter for a system, not power... And Capcom and Konami said they'd make games for NUON, too... but they certainly didn't. ^_^

That was by Tiger, right? The same company that made those crappy portables based off popular licensed games? How in the world did they ever get those licenses, anyways?

Yeah, and recognition also. When you think portable game system, you think "Game Boy", since pretty much everyone has one(it's the #1 selling console worldwide, right?), and Nintendo. Geez, everyone knows Nintendo. Even my grandma knows

It's okay, but it won't do that well against the Gameboy Advance. Sure, it's a hit in Korea, but this is Nintendo were talking about here.

GBA whoops this system in terms of good games and licenses. Besides, NO handheld has reached the level of the Nomad. Yet....

It ain't better than the GBA, simply because it doesn't have as many great games as the GBA...

Remember, it's THE GAMES!

While it shows promise, I doubt the system will ammount to much. No portable system has managed to make a dent in the GB/GBA market, and coming in after the GBA has already had one year on the market is almost suicide.

And the current gaming titles offer nothing to excite the player, whereas the GBA has Sonic, Super Mario World, Castalvania, and others...And the Nintendo name brand going for it, which makes it difficult for any company to compete against. (Look at SNK, they're more well known than this company and they failed in the portable market...).

Of course if Sony ever decided to enter the portable war...Well then we could have an very intresting little battle.

Its cool but it won't be able to compete against Gameboy. Nintendo has the name. Plus this is sold out of Korea, obviously only way to get it is to be a serious gamer or tech nerd or else you wouldn't know about it. It will end up being more of a hobbyist system then anything else.

Nintendo has Sonic Advance, and Minna de Puyo Puyo... so the GBA is a winner, IMHO.
