Some gaming news today as
Reuters.com reports that Nintendo has announced today that they have plans
to offer GameBoy Advance users gaming without the use of cables. Nintendo
plans to introduce the wireless gaming solution early next year:
 The device will be included free of charge
with the purchase of one of two "Pokemon" games, due to be released early
next year, for Nintendo's hand-held game machine.
"We've had a lot of discussions about how to extend the networking
capabilities for games such as 'Pokemon', to enhance head-to-head battles,
exchange of information and communication with others," said Nintendo
President Satoru Iwata in a speech on the opening day of the Tokyo Game
Show.
The wireless module will be bundled with Nintendo's "Pokemon Fire Red"
and "Pokemon Leaf Green" titles for GameBoy Advance that will go on sale
in Japan early next year. The games will sell for 4,800 yen ($ 43).
Nintendo said it planned to roll out other titles for the GameBoy
Advance compatible with the device in the future. Motorola Inc designed
the chip that powers the device's wireless
functions. |
