The Shrine

Wow, someone had a little fun with Photoshop, did they?

Well, it could be a concept shot.

From what Ive heard, it's fake.

I don't think it's real either, just interesting; it shows that all the buttons on the gamecube controller can actually fit onto a handheld system. From what I heard, Nintendo was planning on making their next Gameboy system backward compatable with gamecube. Would they be dropping the old gameboy completely and not including a cartridge slot for that system?

The shoulder buttons are all missing. It's not a terrible idea though.

They would have to be on the system, though, for backwards-compatibility. The shoulder buttons on the GBA were badly placed. The regular GB felt better, but they had different design ideals on the GBA (fitting into a pocket vs. comfort on your hands).

The next Gameboy will very likely be unveiled at E3 a week from now. I don't think something this early will be a handheld gamecube. The technology is still too pricey for a handheld that powerful (It would have to be something like 600 mhz).

Well, I would think that just because they can fit all of the buttons on their physically on the outside case doesn't necesarily mean they can squeeze them in along with whatever hardware they'd need to play GC games. Not sure if that's an issue nowadays but it could be.

True, not witht he technology they have now. Even the PSP could barely fit it all and that is why there are control problems on the thing. The sensors underneath the buttons on the controller are f***ed.

That'd be freaking smurf if they could though.

Maybe three years down the road they will be able to do it, maybe 2 years, who really knows?

Except IBM technologies.... And God (or Satan, whichever one controls technology)

Hermes, actually.
