I like to ask why doesn't G.B.A video have anime or even video manga? it would be a good idea. they could put 3 episode's/chapters of an anime like Inu-yasha,Berserk, Naruto ect; they could make the select button to hange it from Dubed/Subed. also the ESRB ratings will tell you what the anime is for. (pokemon would have an E rating, NEG would have a T rating,and berserk would have a M rating, same go's for manga.)

Because...Nintendo's GBA video is intended for kids. And Naruto isn't even licensed.

i mean A naruto video manga, or just a manga where you flip pages using the D-pad. anyway the rating will tell what is for kids, and what is for adults.

Are you just too lazy to open a graphic novel?

Anyway, those video mangas would not sell. GBA's target and largest market is the younger children demographic.

Virtual manga wouldn't work due to the fact that the screen isn't shaped like a manga page. It'd be like being in 640x480 and trying to view a 1280x760 image.... just too much scrolling to appreciate it.

They should try it on the nintendo DS. You can use the stylus to zoom in on the text or not. It would be better on the nintendo ds.

Only way that'd work is if they had text on one, and the images on the other. Even then, it's weird. Just pay the $ for an actual manga. To the casual eye, it'll look like you actually read books Rolling Eyes

I think they've got something similar to the officially licensed GBA video player that isn't official, but it uses CF media. IRC, this one you can just copy media from PC to it. You can copy all your anime to CF and use that one. Do a google search for it.
