I call no way, if what you're saying was true, rpgs wouldn't work well on handhelds. But seeing as they have seen the first game boy I guess that shoots the "games need to be short" idea down doesn't it?

what handheld RPG has done amazingly well? the only one i can think of is pokemon, as in terms of RPGs that is a game that you can play in shorter time spans as there isnt much story in them
handheld games can be longer in legnth, but it should not be a criticism when a game is not "long"

When a game clocks in at about an hour with no replay value, that's to short I'm sorry but 30$ should get me more than an hour worth of fun.
And handheld RPGs do pretty good in general, if they didn't they wouldn't make so many of them on the GBA and soon DS.

MMM handheld RPGs!!! Those are my favorite games for portable consoles because you can play for a bit and then save and put it down. I've had every final fantasy and zelda you can get for gameboy* and I plan to continue with that trend
