I guess this means it's a good bet (but not a lock) that it'll also see a North American release.

This was posted 2 days ago but I haven't seen it mentioned.

-150K DSs has been sold in Spain in the first 3-months
-Game Boy Micro will see a release in November in Spain
-"they also expect to bring at least some units of the Play-Yan media-player for the GameBoy Advance to Europe"

I would say that it is extremely unlikely that something announced for Europe will not get a North American release.

It's happened before.

Do you talk about Doshin the Giant? :lol

Well, that's why I said "extremely unlikely" instead of "impossible"

According to Nintendo of Spain some other European countries are also interested in bringing the Play-Yan. They are currently in talks with Nintendo Japan.
NoS's idea is to bring two versions of the Play-Yan: one would only play MP3 and would be cheaper. The other version would support both MP3 and MPEG4 and would be targeted towards NDS users.

If they plan to make two versions, one aimed at DS users, they might consider releasing a DS Play-Yan software card to work with the Play-Yan GBA cartridge.

I'd buy it

I could see them release this in the Stars Catalogue on Nintendo Europe's web site. That could explain the 'at least some units' part. But it's probably still undecided whether they'll also sell it in stores.

And one of the best action RPGs ever:

I'm surprised they haven't created a DS version yet. Get a bump in resolution of video and decent stereo sound would be awesome. You'd still use the GBA slot for the card, but use a DS cart for the program? Touch Screen display choosing options etc.

Although I don't know how you'd go about the whole "DS turns off when closed" deal. I know this doesn't happen for GBA games, is it possible to get rid of the sleep mode for DS software?
