Euro handheld console newcomer plans dashed
GamePark 32 almost certainly doomed in Europe.
Denied!
We have followed the progress of the GamePark 32 handheld for three years now, all the time hoping that the impressive, emulator friendly DivX and MP3 playing wireless wonder would make it outside of its native Korea.
And then it was announced for Europe, to be launched in March 2004, no less.
We were happy, but now we’re not, because the release has been shelved.
Speaking to GP insiders, the story is pretty simple to understand. “The research and development money for this project has been coming from the government and now that source of cash has dried up somewhat. A full scale launch would not be feasible.”
Boo!
