remember when I first found out about dreamcast. I was in middle school
and someone had brought the vmu in to play it when they could during /
in between classes, and I was damn impressed. Even 10 years later, that
sort of portable / console integration isn't available. Only nintendo
attempts anything like that, and their efforts are so poorly integrated
(upload your pokeymans, connect to this game and unlock a new area)
compared to the DC. I could play the console at home, use in-game
currency to unlock different features on the VMU, load up some
creatures in the VMU, play it throughout the day and then return to the
console in the evening and make use of my winnings and progress in the
main game.
Imagine how easily they could arrange something like
that today. They could let you download the games on a cellphone or
portable gaming system and then send the data through the internet to
your console. But they don't. Isn't some new nintendo pokemon game
coming with a pedometer that effects gameplay somehow? How pathetic
such an idea sounds compared to the dreamcast's decade-old vmu
I've
heard that Sony released a similar device, the playstation pocket, but
it was never brought to America. I raged about that; I even bought SaGa
Frontier 2 for the psx (which still has reference to the playstation
pocket minigames, in the NA release) |
