It does create a risk, you can't leave the carts inserted when you put the system into a pocket.

Of course you can? What's it going to do, gouge a 1cm hole in your leg?

Yeah, I'm sitting here wonderig if it is just on its way in, because the pic of the DS cart is shown as if it was in the process of being inserted. I wonder if Gamesarefun are just going off the picture or if it says it somewhere in the Japanese...

The dummy cart is stubby. And it's not just that it's avoiding the contacts. Compare the notch in the side to a GBA cart.



And Nintendo can't switch to making stubby GBA games, because they won't fit in a GBA (any version) or regular DS. Of course, if Nintendo came up with some sort of enhanced DS Lite-exclusive games that utilize something or the other that the regular DS doesn't have, and is more suited to the GBA slot than the DS slot, then that would be perfect. I smell a megaton.

Worse. Damage your videogames.

Damage the GBA cart connector. After all, it's like a lever with only the connector holding it in place.

GBA games sticking out slightly isn't a huge deal.  I think the DS Option Paks sticking out is a bigger deal.  Even though the rumble Pak is supposedly fairly worthless, it will be even more so now that it sticks out.  I wonder if Nintendo will start making DS and DSL compatible Option Paks?

Yeah, it couldn't get any more official.. I had a friend translate the bottom of the one picture.. and the () at the end saying "juts out 1cm" or something close to that.

This does kind of upset me, as the pocket thing is a big part of what made the Lite cool..  We'll have to see how it works.

Pocket thing?

It can't possibly be worse than old GB games flopping around the bottom of the SP for a mile. flop flop flop

[KDR_11k]

No but that was bad enough.

Haha, you know... the "pocket thing"...

I just meant the fact that it would fit in my pocket better was one of the big selling points of the Lite...  Anyone who says having a game jut out won't make that more difficult and more fragile is just insane.. =P

Anyway, I guess the alternative is to carry your gba games in the other pocket and put them in when you are ready to play, but still, somewhat frustrating...
