With these words Peter Main has unleashed an incredible array of
possibilities for the newly named Nintendo Cube and the GBA. While
conventional uses, such as using the GBA to pick
football plays so that your opponent will not see what you are doing,
can be found on most sites, I
would like to suggest more interesting ways in which this opens up a new realm of game play
features.
Now imagine if you will an RPG for the Cube… An excellent game in
it’s own right, it could feature a GBA counterpart with a different
story line. This would be nothing special except for the fact that these
games connect, and characters from both games may not only interact with
each other, but also unlock previously unseen elements within both games.
While nothing to this effect has been announced (yet), it is nonetheless
tantalizing to imagine the
possibilities.
I’m not a huge Pokemon fan myself, but the countless obsessed people
could go crazy with a GBA hook up to Cube. A standard Pokemon game could
be had, but with a Cube counterpart Pokemon could be trained for battle
before being transferred to the Cube game. One could play one facet of the
game on the road, and upon arriving at home use that time well spent to
improve the quality of the Cube game already waiting. The possibilities
are endless.
This article may seem lacking, but that is only because we needed
filler before SpaceWorld. After the show, we may all look back and see how
naive my view is, because Nintendo is sure to blow us all away.
Hopefully, I have only touched the tip of what is to come in the days
ahead, and this speculation will be but a mere suggestion of what Nintendo
has in store for us.
