That little tune that played after the second card swipe sounds like it's from a Pokémon game

This and the NES edition gameboy advance SP were 2 things I wanted when I was a kid

Imagine all you wanna do is play your game and the reader calls you broke and your card gets declined

Reminds me of the cards you would use at Dave & Buster’s to pay coins to play a game or redeem points!

I LOVED the e-reader! I used it with Animal Crossing on the GameCube and got so much cool house furniture, it was incredible ♥️♥️

I absolutely miss my e-reader. Something went wrong with the reader head, it never was fixed.

I had one of these, they made a bunch of mario party mini games for a board game that you can play with an E Reader.

With this thing you could unlock new levels in Mario Bros 3!

I was born in 2001 I'm still finding out about stuff from 1990 and 1980 and I am like a kid in a candy store of Technology and I love it

I remember that thing from the early 00s always wanted one

Fun fact (kinda): e-reader is originally intended as a Pokémon accessory or so I remembered

[Harryboi]

These were so cool, but pretty underrated

Swiping a card on E-Reader is easier than swiping a card on Among Us

[dabsthma]

Suprised they never used this for pokemon. U want the shiny, go get the card billy

[hanro]

....you did that suspiciously smoothly....

As someone who religiously played Wario Ware and Wario World, I never had an E-Reader and man do I wish I did.

[JamesTDG]

I kinda wish there was a 3rd party e-reader that had all card data pre-loaded

[PeterJamesVillegas]

I wish they were so easy back in the day.

I bought the E reader brand new when it launched but no one else had one i eventually got rid of it cause i didn't own another gameboy advance so i couldn't get the bonus in game items and didn't own a gamecube so i eventually got rid of it but i kept the cards for it...cause i knew they're are more rare then the device itself.
