Support NeoGAF

Sorry, I just realized that Mizuguchi's new company is Q! Entertainment. Oops.

I meant it as 'Q' as in 'Question.'

We know the Revolution is backwards compatible. We know that wavebirds, dance mats and even the bongo controllers will work in the machine, along with memory cards.

My question is, of all those aforementioned peripherals, the most expensive GCN peripheral is missing. The Gameboy Player.

My question is, will the Gameboy Player work on the Revolution? I highly doubt it, and that pisses me off.

I can play NES, SNES, N64, GCN and Revolution software on the Revolution, but without support of the Gameboy Player, I'll still need my GCN lying around.

Anyone hear whether it is 'to be or not to be?'

There is the possibility that one of those third party "memory card gameboy player" peripherals may work, but I wouldn't guarantee it.

Nintendo will cook something up (to sell you), they do almost every generation.

It's possible their next handheld (either a new version of the DS or a next gen GB) could offer a download service for portable games, and then the systems could share retro games back and forth.

You are on to something.

Imagine a wireless GBAMicro with internal flash memory instead of a cartridge slot. You can download GB, GBC, GBA games via the revolution and send them wireless to your micro.
