As am I. They'd completely fuck the handheld market if they did something like that.

I have my doubts about this too, as it doesn't seem to jive on a lot of levels.
However, with Java based Cell Phone games booming in Japan it just might be the future area of Portable gaming, so I'm not ready to disregard the report yet.....

You start comparing Kim Possible's communicator sound to the Power Ranger's communicator sound.

No idea, maybe someone can shoot an email to IGN pocket? Since Red Jade was mentioned I tought it would be nice to bring this grim little piece of news. I could swear I saw a similar article somewhere else, but cant find it, I'll keep looking.
But lets say it is alive, I doubt it will be a "gameboy killer." Say wasnt GamePark supposed to be launched on US, or is it stuck in Korea?

well...they had no plans for US yet. They were going to try Europe but haven't really figured out what to do there. I think they're not doing too well...they need some titles with mass appeal. I really hope they pull through though. If only they can get a good foothold in Korea, maybe the GP32 can remain popular there, and survive as the WSC has.

I remember reading about Red Jade too in Cnn sometime ago. Pretty much dead. I hope they actually launch it sometime soon.
I mean, for the mainstream pubilc, why carry 2 different devices when 1 can do mostly the same task?
I love the idea that the Nokia device reads carts (or someting similar) I would hate to pay (and wait) to dowonlad a game. I haven't tried java/I mode games, so I don't know if that's how it is.
It occurs to me that an awful lot of trouble in Gotham City could have been averted a long time ago if Batman had just ripped the Joker's nipples off.
A man with the nipples ripped off him does not make the same mistakes twice.
I mean crime in Gotham City doesn't exactly seem to be affected by a man dressed as a bat flapping around the place. But no-one disobeys a man wearing a necklace of human nipples.
"I'm Batman" isn't cutting it in the striking-fear-into-their-hearts stakes. But "I'm Batman -- and I'm here for your nipples" is an entirely different proposition. -- Warren Ellis
