What would be on your wish list for the next gameboy??

What I would really like to see as a built in feature on the next gameboy
would be a video in/out port so you can hook up to a big tv and watch it on
there or play your dvd on the GBA and 2 ports for external gamepads so you
can play 2 player games without being linked. Although linking is cool, its
not easy for someone to afford another $150 (cdn),or however much the next
gameboy will cost,  just for that function. Thats what I think would make
the next gameboy very cool. Of course backwards compatibility is a must too.

   Wireless linkup is really cool but there is the same problem of having
to have 2 gameboys to do it. Wireless gamepads are ok but would probably
require an extra power source so I would rather stick with regular wired
gamepads.   Now what would be really super cool is linkup over the internet
through your pc via a usb cable like the one used to program f2a carts!

Wireless Bluetooth multiplayer is a must.

Really? I've never used nor missed any kind of multiplayer functionality.

An analog control stick/pad is a must imho.

I only really have one wish for the GBA, and it applies to the current
version as well as future ones. I wish they were designed by Apple.

I would like cheaper games.  I really think ?30 for a new cart is far too
much.

I dont anymore.  I rent my games.  Sadly the rental company I use will no
longer be renting out GBA games as its not worth their while.  Not enough
users want those games.

I reckon ?15 is a fair price, same price as a DVD movie.

> Yea ?15 would be a reasonable price. After taking a look around all I have
seen are Game Boy games for ?34.99 and the only ones that are cheaper are
the ones that aren't selling so good or the old titles. ?34.99 is alot for
anyone to spend let alone a kid or someone with lots of children.

Have a look at http://www.play.com/play247.asp?page=front&r=GBA

Most new releases are either ?26.99 or ?17.99 with some older titles
even cheaper - it pays to shop around.

Video games have many times more longevity than movies and therefore should cost
more.

If I could sell 5 thing for 10 pounds and make 1 pound profit on each, or
sell 1 thing for 30 pounds and make 21 pounds profit, with the chance of
selling the other 4 things for the same 21 pounds profit, and then in a year
if they havn't sold sell them for 11 pounds profit... I would choose the
latter.
