Also a port of VMU Script, the language for programming the VMU could be
added to all that, so using the keyboard and VMU Script a minigame could be
written on screen then compiled and saved to the VMU, wow you idea is great
indeed, but alas, i have zero programming experience, so it`s up to any one
else in this list to make it, maybe we could support as bug reporters and
beta testers...

We`ll meet again someday soon... ikaruga a shooter for real men...
