[color=teal]Well I've looked at it and I'm not really sure on what you want us to comment on. There is just loads of games I have never heard of, which just keep popping up. Are they made by some Korean gaming company or something? What do you want me to say I don't really get alot of detail from what I'm viewing![/color]

[COLOR=darkblue]I think we're talking about the GP32 system, made by a Korean company.

We've talked about this a while back and we came to the conclusion that it wouldn't do really well outside of Korea. But then again, if it gains mass popularity there, there might be some competition in store for the GBA.[/COLOR]

It is more powerful that the GBA spec-wise, but has plenty of its own problems. Apparently, very few of the games are actually good and the better looking ones on it are very prone to slowdown. The system also makes use of Smart Media cards, which hold a lot... But the downside is that games have loading times on this thing.

Smart Media is very easy to get, and combining that with the ability to attach this thing to a PC, very few big developers would ever bother because of the ease of piracy (Capcom announced support, but they weren't making any of the games, they gave out licenses, much like on Game.com way back). It's never going to make it out of Korea for many of those reasons. That and Nintendo has crushed any viable handheld there has been so far from actually reputable companies (Tiger, Sega, SNK, Bandai, etc).

The thing has been out well over a year now.
