Wouldn't you rather have a "Nintendo NES Classics" series of GBA carts, with maybe 5-10 classic games per cart?

NES Classics, of course, but the E-Reader ones aren't THAT bad...

I'm talking about the cost of getting everything about of Mario 3.

Unrealistic because no one would get a E-Reader just for Mario 3... the fact that there are plenty of other card sets out there worth getting definitely has an impact on the worth of buying it.

I'm sure they have, but it wouldn't bring them as much of a profit.

True...

It has the potential to be useful but Nintendo doesn't seem to care too much about that. They just want a quick buck.

Its not quite that bad, no. They want money certainly, but its not like they aren't trying to make the connectivity really be useful...

There are only a few games that use the GBA connectivity in a way that couldn't be done as well any other way.

That's also probably true... but a lot more have some features that while you won't buy a game to get them (or the GC version of a multiconsole game for them) they are still a decent addition.

I never said that they're done with it. That would be absurd. But they are already in the advanced R&D stages of development.

Sure, but they've got plenty of time, and we know nothing about it so I won't assume anything like that...
