EBooks and EReaders

Twitter – http://www.twitter.com/thetimtracker I really enjoy watching daily vlogs from YouTube stars like CTFxC ( CharlesTrippy ), SHAYTARDS, LisaNova, KassemG, and iJustine; so I decided to do my own! I make a video everyday. If you like this one be sure to check out all the rest, and subscribe for future videos. I went to the apple store to actually put my hands on a real life apple ipad, so i could give my review a little credibility. It is a pretty neat little device, but I think I am still trying to compare the ipad to something that it is not. I want it to do more! Like a super light easy to use thin little lap top. Instead I should be looking at it to bridge the gap between the function of a lap top and the function of an iphone. Almost like a super cool sleek net book. It got me so worked up that I decided to have a game night at my house followed by a quick back and neck adjustment by a friend of mine that is a chiropractor.

Original Description:Nintendo’s e-Reader add-on for the Game Boy Advance released in Japan in 2001 and 2002 in North America. A mild success, the e-Reader was also eventually bundled with the GBA. Using a licensed dot code technology, cards containing embedded data could be scanned into the device and then played. Cards could have different games, applications, or items for other games.

Many different kinds of cards were eventually released for the e-Reader, the most popular of which were full NES games on 5 cards. Cards for the Gamecube Animal Crossing, cards for Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3, cards for the Pokemon TCG/Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire versions, and many others were also available to purchase.

The e-Reader is a fairly common item, as are its cards, and it’s easy to find them on eBay or in secondhand shops for very cheap. Even though it’s little more than a novelty now, I recommend checking it out if you’ve got a few extra bucks to spare.

Here’s some pretty rare footage for you, utilizing two pretty rare Nintendo devices. I searched around on YouTube and couldn’t find many e-Reader videos (as in the GBA attachment, not the recent eBook machines). So here you go, the “Jumping Doduo” mini-game.

I had attached the e-Reader to the Game Boy Player, one of the few things the Nintendo Gamecube can handle that the Wii can’t. So essentially, I attached a failed Nintendo device to another failed Nintendo device. The e-Reader was something that would attach to the Game Boy Advance. Built into it is a device that lets it read dot codes on e-Reader cards. You swipe them through the e-Reader like you would a credit card, and if all is well, the e-Reader will ick it up and store the data on the dot code. The Game Boy Player is a machine that connects to the bottom of a Gamecube and allows you to play GBA games on it. Since there’s nothing on a GBA that lets me connect it to my video capture device, I plugged the e-Reader into the Game Boy Player.

The mini-game you see here is “Jumping Doduo.” You can play it by scanning in the cards “Doduo” and “Dodrio” from the Aquapolis set of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, released back in 2001. When you successfully scan in the long codes for both of them (there are two codes on these cards, a short one at the bottom and a long one on the right), the e-Reader will be able to load the mini-game.

It’s a very simple one, really. Doduo is running across a plain, and he needs to jump over everything in his way. Doduo jumps with the A button, and in addition to rocks, he’ll jump over Bulbasaur, Bellsprout, Teddiursa, Electrode, Sudowoodo, Dugtrio, and Totodile. Each obsctacle has a different height and a different width, so you can’t approach them all the same way. (But almost the same way.) Your score is the number of obstacles Doduo has jumped over, and the game ends when Doduo runs into or lands on something.

It’s just a cute little extra for the card game. It’s very simple in design, but more than anything else, it’s a bonus for having these two cards.

Don’t ask for more Pokémon e-Reader minigames though, since this is the only one where I have all the cards required.

The Wii console is backward compatible with all official Nintendo GameCube software, as well as Nintendo GameCube Memory Cards and controllers. Compatibility with software is achieved with the slot-loading drive’s ability to accept Nintendo GameCube Game Discs. The console supports progressive-scan output in 480p-enabled GameCube titles. Peripherals can be connected via a set of four GameCube controller ports and two Memory Card slots concealed by removable flip-open panels.[2] The console therefore retains connectivity with the Game Boy Advance and e-Reader through the Game Boy Advance Cable, which is used in the same manner as it was used with the GameCube. This feature can only be accessed on those select GameCube titles that previously utilized it. The Wii for release in South Korea lacks GameCube backward compatibility.

A Wii console running a GameCube disc is restricted to GameCube functionality. As such, a GameCube controller is required to play GameCube titles, as neither the Wii Remote nor the Classic Controller functions in this capacity. A Nintendo GameCube Memory Card is also necessary to save game progress and content, as the Wii internal flash memory will not save GameCube games.

Backward compatibility is limited in some areas. Online and LAN-enabled features for Nintendo GameCube titles are unavailable on the Wii, as the console lacks serial ports for the Nintendo GameCube Broadband Adapter and Modem Adapter. The console uses a proprietary port for video output and is therefore incompatible with all Nintendo GameCube audio/video cables (composite video, S-Video, component video and RGB SCART). The console also lacks the GameCube footprint and high-speed port needed for Game Boy Player support.
