GBA (And NDS) Play Multimedia - GBA

15th December 2004, 8:56pm
Nintendo has revealed a new product that will allow people to listen to music and view videos on their GBA (and using the extra slot, the Nintendo DS). It's actually just a cartridge with a SD card slot in it. The cards can handle MP3 files and MPEG-4 videos. Users can dump whatever they want onto the card, and then plug it in. See how it's done in the screenshot. It may not be the next iPod, but it may appeal to those looking for an all-in-one gaming and multimedia console. It will certainly look spectacular on the Nintendo DS - the system reportedly improves on the GBA SP's lighting, making it beautiful to watch.

There's just one thing. Initial reports indicate it is compatible only with the GBA SP and the Nintendo DS, not the classic GBA.
