the e-reader is an incredible device for the gameboy advance why?what do you think about complete nes games that comes in trading cards for 5 bugs each ,pretty cool huh, but wait theres more¡¡¡¡¡¡
this are great news for pokemon fans the reason? pokemon-e are special trading cards that have special minigames and tips videos sound effects and also special features like a coin flipper for your game boy to be found.and this is the begining why if for the next megaman battle network you can buy megaman-e cards for make megaman more powerful or to have new techniques i think that nintendo can do great things whith this incredible product so what are you waiting for? buy it and you wont regret it¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

The e-Reader is a very cool idea, especially if Nintendo follows up with lots of classic NES games. $40 may seem a bit steep for the reader, but you DO get a full game with it, as well as an old "Game and Watch" game (which is rather fun), and Pokémon stuff, if you are into that sort of thing. If nothing else, the Pokémon mini-games can be entertaining, albeit very simplistic.

One tip, though - unless you absolutely LOVE pinball games, you might want to get the e-Reader bundle with Donkey Kong instead. Nintendo Pinball is *very* basic and the physics are fairly loose. It's fun, but it's not a good demonstration of what the NES was capable of. I bought the e-Reader, as well as Excitebike-e and Balloon Fight-e, both of which are a blast to play.

Anyway, I got a bit sidetracked. The e-Reader has lots of potential, and if you are a Pokémon fan, you will find even more value in it with Pokémon Expidition and future card sets. If you like retro games from the NES era, you are in for a real treat as well. The fact that you can pick up a classic game for $5 and play it on the GBA adds a lot of value to the device - especially if Nintendo goes ahead and ports such classics as Metroid and the original Zelda titles.

Buy it if: You like Pokémon, or you are interested in classic Nintendo games for $5 a pop.

Don't buy it if: You hate Pokémon, didn't like the NES, and have zero interest in remakes of old LCD games from the Nintendo stable.

The e-reader is a great kinda thing for people that like old NES games. I think it is a great product...SO GO BY IT!!!!!!!!!!
