Playing GBA in your car will never be the same.At the annual Consumer Electronics Show being held this week in Las Vegas, automotive entertainment company Visteon will announce a partnership with Nintendo that will bring Nintendo technology to Visteon's products. However, the fruit of their partnership is already up on the company's website. Visteon's new Dockable Entertainment system featuring Game Boy Advance will offer the standard features of an automotive DVD player, but also includes a port for Game Boy Advance games. The games will be playable on the system's 10.2 inch screen.
There's no information yet as to how players will control their games, but Visteon's website mentions that the system can "Accommodates additional game units so two or more can play," which implies that this unit features a GBA link port.
Update: Now that the device has been officially unveiled we can offer you some new information. The biggest, and most disappointing, news is the controller. It's triangle shaped and has five face buttons (which translates to 3 A buttons and 2 B buttons according to Visteon) and a large circular D-Pad. There are also L and R buttons on the rear of the controller. It's also been revealed that the controller links to the base over an infrared connection (as opposed to the much more reliable RF technology found in modern wireless controllers).
As far as video, the GBA image is stretched to fit the 16:9 aspect ratio of the unit's screen, however the image does not fill the entire screen. It should be noted that Visteon claims the final unit will have a larger, sharper picture.
Thanks to Joystiq for the details.
