GBA GB Micro - Play-Yan Bundle?

A recent interview conducted by GameSpot suggests a GB Micro - Play-Yan bundle.

In a recent interview with George Harrison, Nintendo of America's Vice President, a few new details on the launch of Nintendo's upcoming tiny handheld (GB Micro) emerged.

During the interview, Harrison stated that Nintendo is currently looking into the results of the Play-Yan in Japan and considering to release the GB Micro and Play-Yan as a bundle in the US. Rumours about the GB Micro to have the Play-Yan built in were swiped from the floors: the GB Micro will not have a media player built-in.

Earlier, in an interview ny Cube-Europe with Nintendo of Europe's Mark Heino, it became clear that Nintendo of Europe is considering launching Play-Yan as well.

  • Personally, I would prefer it as an extra. If it's built in, it will artificially increase the price tag, and I want Micro to be as low as possible. In fact I'm don't want mp3/movie functionality on it if it means cheaper. On the other hand, a mirror and hair comb built into it would help me a great deal grooming myself on the go...

  • p.s. so long as the mirror and comb wouldn't make Micro too expensive, that is.

  • This was proven untrue in an interview on Gamespot. Sorry. :P

  • They shouldn't look at how it does in Japan, but rather look how the Ipods and other mp3 players do in America. Sometimes Nintendo forgets how completley different these two countries are and thinks that something that does well in Japan will do equally as well in America.

  • And on a second note, I think that the Play-Yan should be renamed (sounds like Playin') and built in, not bundled.
