This one took longer to make than usual because I had to buy a few more sets of cards in order to make this review (don't worry, I didn't spend too much money on it).

In concept, the E-Reader is okay, but it's numerous problems are what made it a failure.

Have you reviewed the gameshark sp yet?

I think it would be a great review.

@mrduckandBubbles I'm trying to see if I can gather some more cheating devices first, I don't actually have my Gameshark SP or my Action Replay SP anymore so I'd have to shell out some cash to replace them.

You know how many times i have heard "What's an E-reader". They make themselves sound so stupid and naive.

[HirokaTamashii]

@DragonX7777 I don't think that's entirely fair. Given the complete failure of the E-Reader, not many people even heard of it. Not knowing about it doesn't make them stupid, it just makes them ignorant.

Great review, the e-reader is great it combines 2 of the things i love, trading cards & videogames. It's a huge shame that nintendo didn't support it a bit more as it really was a nice add on. I managed to get a lot of the japanese cards but missed out on a few series & now i regret it as i can't find them anywhere. Now that the 3DS has augmented reality & it uses cards i wonder if they could make it work like the ereader did. You show the camera a card & it scans it to your game.

@importaku Interesting... well knowing Nintendo, failure doesn't discourage them. The Power Glove didn't work out, but they tried again with the Wiimote. If you got cards on one handheld, try try again with the other!

Damn I never knew anyone other than myself to own one of these good review though :D

Wow that was the best game device review! So that's how come Europe stopped doing E-readers. That's how you get an Eon ticket! Well I guess there is only one thing left to do to earn my own Eon ticket and that's to hack. lol I feel so upset now that I have to hack my game into it so much to get it. :'( I wonder if there are any cheats for E-reader trainer battles?

...and here I thought the last failure Nintendo had was the Virtual Boy thanks for the info bonita señorita
