Ops, I forgot the Bandai one, what's it call, Wonder something? But that
system is black and white, even if I was Red and going for a quick buck, I
won't consider a B&W system to release ST.
As for the NGP, it was doomed to failure due to the news of the NGPC being
spread out just weeks after the launch of the NGP, no one is going to buy a
B&W system knowing that the exact same system but with colour is to be
release in no time. Besides, as mentioned before, the GB still has the user
base that no other hand held system has, and IMO, won't be affected by any of
the new hand held systems that are out or coming out soon.
Other interesting news/rumor, Sony was said to have signed up with SNK and
develop games for it, Namco also had being said to be doing so too. Why is
it that Sony is going to develop games for a system that is linkup-able to
their rival's system? Is it because of the ST thing? It makes you wonder if
Nintendo and Sega is really joining forces to fight against Sony.......
