We must make this year's Gameboy playable in caves!

TOP NINTENDO SCIENTIST 2
Why?

TOP NINTENDO SCIENTIST 1
So it will get a good review on Ben's site, naturally!

TOP NINTENDO SCIENTIST 2
Ah, that is important. But... how?

TOP NINTENDO SCIENTIST 1
Well, one backlit screen would light up the cave a little, right?

TOP NINTENDO SCIENTIST 2
Go on...

TOP NINTENDO SCIENTIST 1
So what if the system had TWO screens?

TOP NINTENDO SCIENTIST 2
Brilliant!

The dual screens made it seem safe, so I ventured forth into a case with a DS and my N64p...

Encounter !! Panic Panic!

Whoah! That was close! The N64p's screen lit up enough of the cave to reveal a vicious Gorinthian Cave Beast that was ready to pounce and eat me! Time to see what the DS reveals...

Run / Fight / Magic / Items / Spell

Yah!!! Good heavens! An inverted mutant double-fanged sloth-beast! Good thing that second screen was there to light this up for me! Wow, imagine what I could find with 3 screens!

Nintendo rep: "You'll have to wait until 4th Quarter '05 for that one."


So there you have it! Both systems have their ups and downs, but if you're venturing into a cave the Nintendo DS is the best choice. If you're into the classic N64 games, then the N64p is for you!
