On this forum, smashy, I'm afraid to tell you that that prospect is highly unlikely.

Anyone know if the Gameboy SP takes the 'old style' cartridges used in the Gameboy/Gameboy Colour?
Yes it does, I can validate this. =D Super Mario Land 2 and Scrabble both work perfectly.

It does- I've still got my old copies of Link's Awakening and Wario Land amongst others for a reason   :approve:

Lol yeah. I heard the advert for the album and kept thinking they were saying 'Lettuce' rather than Letters.

...There is no way I am getting this job. I can't think of what console I would sell to a customer, or why. Seriously, underneath that heading, I have put 'I wouldn't try to 'sell them a console', more 'find the console they would like'. I would ask them a series of questions to attempt to figure out the one they would get most enjoyment from, possibly showing them exclusives, and, if possible, letting them try it out themself (holding the controller of each, etc.).' somehow, I don't think that's gonna get me the job...
Yes that sequence of words I just said made perfect sense.

Not really, since it's mostly all about money. :/

Marketing is NOT about finding out what the customer wants to buy, it's about convincing the customer into buying what YOU want them to buy. Even I know that.

Technically, that's called upselling

I do it a lot

Yes, I know that, but I don't really like trying to convince people into buying something they may regret later. Plus, due to not being biased any one way, I would find it rather difficult to convince them to buy something, hell, my dad asked me the question 'If you could have one console, what would it be?' and I really could not answer that.

Online play is a huge selling factor.

Not always though. It depends who your customer is

Upselling chocolate is easy-peasy ^w^

But then again a console without online is not the full experience.

Perhaps, but neither 9H9P9D or Subarashiki Kono Sekai (the two greatest games I've ever played) have proper online modes
