Handheld PS2 hits london
Guy W. Lecky-Thompson
This is a (bad) joke, surely?
On the other hand, does anyone have any _straight_ information on the PSP
and Nintendos reaction to it? Not the tech-specs but the gamer viewpoint -
and please try to refrain from resorting to fanboyism. We are all aware that
Nintendo have cornered the mainstream consumer market in portable gaming for
the last x years with GB/GBC/GBA/GBA SP - perhaps it really is time for
something new.

That's what they thought of the NeoGeo pocket!
I bet Nintendo are already designing the next gen Gameboy(slobber).

They are. They've released a couple tidbits. At least 320x200 screen,
bigger color pallette. Of course, the PSP lacks one major component.
Pokemon.
