A Nintendo-Konami collaboration called Mobile 21 Co. (that ultimately put out Gradius Advance) was deeply involved in the project. However there wasn’t much in the way of a standard data cable for the rest of the world, and ultimately nothing happened with it. Perhaps a Nintendo-Nokia handheld with a built-in cellphone was an alternative they investigated. It may have even inspired the N-Gage project.
