So, what'll be shown on the other screen? [Nintendo DS]
A question I've been pondering.. When you are playing GBA games on the DS, what will be shown on the other screen? Hopefully they'll conserve power and turn it off. And I wonder which screen it'll use. Too bad it can't fold over so you can have the game and everything on the bottom part and the top part out of the way.
if it's internet accessible, you can game on one screen and watch pron on the other!

Hmmmm, never really thought about that. But now that I have I think if the other screen is just switched off it could make the console look a little barren...Maybe this is one of the reasons they are treating the DS as a 3rd pillar - because GBA games will feel a bit rubbishy on it compared to DS games which will look a little more vibrant on the 2 screens. Maybe the DS can multitask and you could run a mail client at the same time as a GBA game - that could be pretty groovy!

Possibility is infinity! You must be satisfied!

Maybe they'll have the option of having two instances of the game running, so that you could play on the main screen and maybe have your inventory or stats window showing on the other screen. Personally if they just had the other window turned off, it wouldn't really bother me.
I think they'll just show it in the top screen and turn off the bottom. Save energy not being used by the second screen and touch sensor.
Still, it'd be cool if the top could fold back or detach to make it more of a GBA feel and it won't look so big.
There ARE two separate slots for games, since the DS format won't fit GBA/GBC/GB cartridges...
2 games running at once?
We can hope
2 games would be rather cool, but i dont think it will...it will probably just display the DS logo or something
