Just create, print and swipe! Already there is a Minesweeper type game available.

Sounds pretty cool... can't try it out though. :o

Holy crap! Very cool. Is there some way to put our own NES roms on cards like that? I see in the Bombsweeper video that that guy had Popeye on his e-reader.

Awesome. I am SO sending this news to the editor of Insert Credit... he digs this kind of wild 'n crazy video game news.

Is it possible to create your own GBA games with Dragon BASIC, then convert the code to a format the e-card reader can understand?

YAY! Hopefully some fun games will be developed :)

I'm thinking Nintendo should sell a dev unit to folks who want to make their own games...not that it's likely to happen...

Hmm, if the system was more popular we could expect to see unlicensed e-Reader cards, too bad it isn't :/

[Ed Oscuro]

Oh hey, SnowBro did it, somehow I'm very much not surprised he came up with this seeing how long he's been hacking NES games :)

I just tried printing a code on each of the printers here (2 different ones). I always get an error; I've tried 300 and 600 DPI.

That's awsome. I hope they put tons of NES games on E-reader cards, to print. I am sure this will get big and Nintendo will be all over it. But untill then it's awsome.

Just a bit of an update on this, I finally got printing to work--photo paper and a Canon i450 inkjet printer. Now I can play Bombsweeper v0.5 anywhere :)

I've gotta try this. Thanks for sharing!

[SegaAges]

I knew this was going to happen eventually. I am just waiting for the original cards to be available to print off. I knew they would make it possible eventually.

Heh. I'm not waiting for that. Why bother, when they're so cheap in stores now?
