Nintendo is a bunch of idiots /Leela
Seriously, some 3rd party company is making one that works for every game that uses link cables, but Nintendo is only designing this for use with games that are designed for it? That's like releasing the Wavebird and saying "only for use with Wavebird compatible games". It's EXACTLY like that! I mean, an easy solution would be like the Triton Labs solution, in that there's a dial (or switch or whatever he decides on) to decide what player number you are and you just get that all switched up before turning it all on. Of course, that would leave out a player compaired to this add-on, but how many games will be having the odd-numbered player max of 5 anyway?

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
