sorry to sound like a troll, but "port game&watch games" ?
The only game&watch games i saw were LCD''s, am I wrong?

off the top of my head though, I cant think of a good use of having vertical-aligned screens (one above the other)

the player would have to be moving their eyes a lot more than if it were side by side and I''d imagine (assuming there was action in boths screens) this would get quite irratating after a while

Unfortunetly with the current cost/profit to make GBA games (or at least break even), I don''t see this getting very far, especially as nintendo wont be able to bring any old stuff across straght away.

Which is a shame, a hardware innovation would be quite nice

Sure. I mean, lots of classic games are being re-packaged and sold as classics. I haven''t seen any Game & Watch games getting updated, though, and I bet they''d sell pretty well as compilations. Well, after changing the maps from horizontally-tiled displays to vertical ones.

Pinball games would be good with 2 vertically-tiled displays, too.

They sell "Game and Watch Gallery" for Gameboy.

It has classic, which is an emulation of the originals, and "Modern" where they redrew the graphics for Gameboy.
