Could Nintendo's next handheld be a portable Gamecube?

imagine playing zelda tww on a gba screen?

It would be complete and utter MUFF...

Surely the biggest problem we face is heat? Can you imagine the day that our handhelds have little diddy fans? Nor me.

Surely the biggest problem is that fact that it's pointless trying to play a game like TWW on such a small screen. It's a waste of power becuase it isn't capitolised...

HAve you tried played GC games on a portable TV?

[mattSix]

gbc = nes
gba = snes
gbnext = n64
gbnextafterone = gc

the (small, propriatory) disc media is a giveaway. if gc piracy doesn't become a problem during the cubes life, i think you'll see the next game boy built to use GODs, but handle n64 era processing requirements. it's next gen sucessor will probably play LAN enabled cube games...
