AS gba video ideas

[EmorynOglethorp]

I have become a big fan of gba videos lately and i've been thinking there should be some Adult Swim ones. I doubt this will happen but these are just ideas.

Aqua teen vol. 1 - Rabbot, Escape from Leprauchpolis, Bus of the undead, Mooninites

Aqua teen vol. 2 - Interfection, Super Trivia, Revenge of the trees, Video Ouija

Sealab 2021 - I, Robot, Happycake, Radio Free Sealab, Chickmate

SGC2C - Elevator, Banjo, Glenn Campbell, Switcharoo

Harvey Birdman - Bannon Custody Case, Shaggy Busted, Very personal Injury, Dabba Don

Futurama- Space Pilot 3000, I, Roomate

Family Guy - Road to Rhode Island, When you wish upon a Weinstein

I'm not sure about episode ideas for Inuyasha, Bebop, and Case Closed but they would be cool.

Questions? Compliments? Complaints? Ideas?

A great idea, but GBA are marketed towards kids, and some of the content in all these shows are... questionable to say the least.

Sorry to say it, but the only way these shows would make it to GBA or anything geared towards kids would be to (bitter taste in mouth) censor them.

[Gruntling]

I think AS Videos would be a great way for Nintendo to incorporate material for the older audience. Your list looks fine!

[Youko Recca]

Oh my. What an atrocity this would turn out to be.

[Cyber E.]

Adult Swim viewer’s would rather buy the DVD boxsets for their favorite shows like ATHF, Family Guy and SG:C2C than getting something that can only play a limited number of episodes for the GBA. DVDs contain much more in terms of the actual product and special features and none of the AS shows are popular enough to sell many of those GBA video things. It’s more for the freakishly known shows like Spongebob that fit that. I don’t see it turning out very good.

I beleive that it would be impossible or at least unwise to try to do a continuing plot show (like InuYasha) but Case Closed should do fine.

[Rabi~en~Rose]

a friend of mine showed me one of those the other day with Rugrats and the video qaulity was pretty bad so I don't think AS would want to make their good shows look bad by putting it on something like this also she said that the Cartoon Network videos didn't sell well at all

[Mr. Pedro]

Not a bad idea, but I don't think it'll ever get off the ground.

[Captain Harlock]

The video quality and the audio quality are terrible. Not to mention the selling price is $20 for 45 minutes. By doing simple math, we can see that it's only about 3 episodes of an AS original show. You can buy the DVDs with more episodes for about that much. It's nothing more then a gimmick that screams, "LOOK WHAT THE GBA CAN DO!"

[Sampo]

I also seen one of those GBA video paks, The Fairy Odd Parents. Like what Rabi said, the video quality is pretty bad as for the sound... Ouch, it sounded horrid coming from the little speaker and via headphones.

Just FYI if anyone is interested.

Here is an old article from IGN. (http://gameboy.ign.com/articles/441/441805p1.html) It talks about the Game Boy Advance "Movie Adapter" and how it was released sometime in Nov 2003 (Japan) had episode of Detective Conan on it.

Here is a more recent article from IGN (http://gameboy.ign.com/articles/528/528399p1.html), describing a Game Boy Advance "Movie download service" so that you can re-use the same memory card but pay to re-flash an episode on to it. (Japan)

If they are going to do AS properties on GBA, then I'd personally start with Case Closed and then move onto Aqua Teen, Family Guy, etc.

[Rabi~en~Rose]

Each GBA video is an hour long, not 45 minutes.

Well, I guess they need to fix their advertising.

SpongeBob SquarePants Vol. 2 - Running Time: 44 Minutes

Dragon Ball GT Volume 1 - Running Time: 44 Minutes

Since that's taken from the offiical website. No GBA video is more than 44 minutes. Pokemon is even 40 minutes.

[EmorynOglethorp]

Okay, the thing is you said it would only fit 3 origional AS shows. Each is 11 minutes long, so it would fit 4, not 3.

[Happy]

Since that's taken from the offiical website. No GBA video is more than 44 minutes. Pokemon is even 40 minutes.How long are two episodes, last I checked they go to around 22 minutes each so thus it would be logical for only 44 minutes of programing.

[Captain Harlock]

That is if all 4 episodes are exactly 11 minutes. If some were edited down to fit the time restrictions, it only downgrades their value.

On the idea overall, I'm not too fond of it, why would I want to buy something to watch it on a GBA.. Then again I'm not a kid so obviously not gullible enough to go in for something like that..

I do however remember hearing something about possibly playing your own video on the GBA.. It was some type of modification or something if I recall correctly, so I'd be interested only for that reason. I'll have to look around to see if I'm even close on this..

[Beat]

GBA video is temporary fad, doomed to ruin as soon as the Nintendo DS comes out.

Besides, paying for inferior video quality isn't exactly a smart decision.
