Just like the rechargeable batteries, Nintendo is slow.

If Nintendo wanted more cash, they would of made their own rechargeable battery packs. That is where they would of made a good amount of cash. But Nintendo is slow at releasing rechargeable battery packs. No one even knows if they have anything planned for it either. So as I said, Nintendo is slow.

Look at the GBASP, it took a no-named company called TritonLabs to release a product called Afterburner (I was head moderator for them and my list of sellers/installers was mentioned in GamePro) before Nintendo saw how much money TritonLabs was making.
